Syyskuussa 2009 Ibadan Records (NYC) & Apotek Record (GER) aloittavat kuukausittaisen Suomen klubi-iltansa Playgroundissa, Helsingissä.
Nämä illat on omistettu todellisille teknon rakastajille. Resident dj, Ibadanin ja Apotekin perustaja Jerome Sydenham soittaa itse jokaisessa tapahtumassa. Hän vieraili toukokuussa Playgroundissa ja rakastui klubiin niin tulisesti, että halusi aloittaa oman klubi-iltansa siellä. Klubin vieraaksi saapuu joka kuukausi residentin lisäksi myös ulkomainen vieras suoraan teknon huipulta.
Avausillan vieraana nähdään todellinen teknon pioneeri Ruotsista, eräs maailman tunnetuimmista ja kiireisimmistä teknodj:stä, Drumcode -levymerkin perustaja Adam Beyer, jota ei ole Helsingissä kuultu vuoden 2002 jälkeen. Jerome ja Adam ovat molemmat tuottaneet valtavan määrän oman genrensä hittejä ja remixejä, joita ovat soittaneet huippudj:t ympäri maailman

Jerome Sydenham bio
DJ, Producer and founder of the record labels Ibadan Records, Apotek Records, Avocado Records, and UK Promotions. He started out in A&R with Atlantic Records and later with East West Records.
Jerome Sydenham is one of the hottest tickets in the world of house and techno music right now. Born in Nigeria to Jamaican and English parents, raised and schooled in England and then educated further by the streets and clubs of New York, his first major forays into dance music came when he worked in the A&R division of Atlantic Records in the late 80s, working with the likes of En Vogue, Das EFX, and breaking vocal house group Ten City. Soon after he met emerging producer Kerri Chandler one of his closest friends and a former collaborator, and his name as a producer and DJ gradually built over the 90s, with his superb label Ibadan Records launched in 1995.
He is best known for beautiful, emotive, sunkissed deep house tracks like "Swimming Places", and his timeless collaboration with Dennis Ferrer, "Sandcastles", both on leading house imprint Defected. However he also shares Ferrers love for hypnotic, soulful, sexy techno bringing an undeniable warmth to an often emotionally cold genre of music. His collaborations with Get Physicals Swedish talent Tiger Stripes - like the hugely acclaimed "Elevation" and their joyous remix of Faze Actions classic "In The Trees" - should likewise be added to the cannon of great house music history.
Sydenhams desire to push the creative envelope with took him into the world of Techno with the hit Asama, with which he launched the German based label Apotek Records. The year 2007 also saw the initiation of a new label collaboration, Avocado Records, established in Denmark with heavy weight producer Rune RK with the monster "Elephant".
In 2009 remixes by Sydenham include:
"Angel" by Carl Craig (Planet-e)
"Forming Dies" by Adam Beyer & Joel Mull (Drumcode)
"Way of the Lonely Ones Pt2" by Nihad Tule (Spectrum)
"This Used to be Our Playground" by Concolor (Perplex)
"Materia" by Nic Fanciulli (Global Underground)
Adam Beyer bio
Alongside Stockholms Cari Lekebusch, Joel Mull and Jesper Dahlback, Adam Beyer has become synonymous with the techno sound of Sweden, which has quite literally shaken the world since the mid-nineties. From the driving percussive force of his Drumcode label to the more open electronic miasma on his current Truesoul and Mad Eye imprints, Beyer remains one of the biggest and most influential producer/DJs on the planet. Ever keen to continually evolve and develop, his three studio albums Decoded (Planet Rhythm, 1996), Protection (Drumcode, 1999) and Ignition Key (Truesoul, 2002) aptly show the Swedes studio development from raw diamond to the polished article. Hes come a long way from sneaking underage into Stockholms blossoming acid house scene but would also be the first to admit that hes still got just as long and interesting journey ahead of him.
