DEMETRIO GIANNICE
alliance balance, drumpoet community, enterbt rec., mojuba, third ear / Zurich
When Demetrio Giannice started to go out to the legendary Zurich “Flamingo Club” in 1993 Demetrio was deeply impressed, making his first contact with Chicago House & Detroit Techno. This was the time he quit to play guitar and started to do his own music in that genre. One year later he happened to start his DJ career in small venues around Zurich. In 2002 he organised his first party "vibrator 02" at the Streetparade weekend. It was an afterhour presenting artist like: Pascal Feos, Dixon. Bang Goes, Peak Nick & Ilo . From 2005 on his monthly nine hours net radio show m.a.r. went on air via audioasyl.net. 2006 he founded the "vollscharf - wollscharf" afterhours which bring music and people together next to the wonderful lake of zurich. 2007 he finished his "talk ep" for Third Ear (released 2009) and he’s still working on new tracks for his label Enterbt rec. and remixes for other labels and friends.
In 2008 he got the chance to work on a remix for Chez Damier. (released now on Mojuba G.O.D. 2 Time Visions 2) That was followed by a few studio and label collaborations between Chez and Demetrio, soon more.

TIMNAH SOMMERFELDT
alliance balance / Basel
Timnah Sommerfeldt has her homebase in Basel near the French-Swiss-German border triangle. Her parents run the sophisticated jazz club Zack, where jazz artists like Maceo Parker, Eddie Palmieri and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins have played live. Thus, Timnah’s relation to music has grown in a natural way, and playing the djembe helped her develop her sense for rhythms and grooves. So she didn’t need much introduction when she got her first mixer and 1200 MK II decks in 2004.
Due to her special family heritage, Timnah draws inspiration from handmade and real records. Although she’s only in her mid twenties, her playlists makes you expect an old hand that has been actively DJing since the ‘90s
