Sendai is Peter Van Hoesen and Eavesdropper, joining forces to blend their common interests in Techno and experimental sound layouts. Analog circuitry, deep digital manipulation and a serious amount of fierce drum programming combined with generative visuals make for a sensory overload aimed at upper and lower parts of the body. Both audio and visual aspects are equally important in their live setup. 'Sustaining The Chain', their first emmission on Time To Express, was heralded by Boomkat as "a mightily impressive piece of modulating techno". The duo continues to push forward into experimental techno territory, with a new track upcoming on Time To Express and a debut album lined up for 2010. Sustaining the chain, indeed.

One of techno's true underground heroes, Function, real name Dave Sumner has been DJing and making music for over 15 years. Hailing from New York, he was seduced by techno music when Jeff Mills held a residency (as well as his own first) at the Limelight in the early 90s. Dave started to produce music and from the mid-90s onwards, put out music on Damon Wild's Synewave and his own Infrastructure imprint. More recently, since his arrival in Berlin in December 2007, he hit the ground running when his EP 'Isolation' came out the day he landed and earned him DJ Mag record of the month. Since, everything seems to have followed suit. Working with Karl O'Connor aka Regis he set up the acclaimed Sandwell District imprint. After several acclaimed releases it's little wonder that Sandwell was recently featured as label of the month on Resident Advisor. Featuring releases by Regis/Kalon, Silent Servant, Female and Ian Richardson, the label is kicking against minimal blandness with dynamic,

When it comes down to combining the best of many musical worlds, Peter Van Hoesen can say he's been doing it for a while now. Deeply rooted in the Belgian electronic music scene as DJ and producer, he is considered by many as a man with multiple musical talents: from straight-up dancefloor jackin' techno to advanced abstract electronica. Peter's techno sound is best described as bass-heavy, 6 am warehouse music, the trademark sound of his very own Time To Express imprint. With a sharp ear for new sounds and scenes his musical approach is distinctly forward looking, while strongly connected to a deep knowledge of electronic dance music's rich past.

Eavesdropper aka Yves De Mey is known for a wide range of musical activities.  Making scores and doing sound design for performing arts and movies, electro-acoustic concerts with cello players, minimalistic experiments (for instance his "Lichtung" release on Line/12k), lengthy DJ-sets blending dub and techno....  At Cimatics he will open the night behind the decks as a warm up for the rest of the mayhem.

For years a solid part of the Brussels underground electronic music scene, Sensu’s intense and eclectic DJ-sets incorporate elements from all sides of the electronic music spectrum and beyond. His aim is to always surprise, confront and change. As a promoter, working on his own as well as together with the Manna collective, he has brought many under-featured acts to Brussels to great acclaim. Having shared the stage with many big names from the scene, his take on DJing is still focused on playing the unexpected and not caring about trends or hypes.
