Nicolas I:cube on nero tuottaja. Tässä muutama biisi häneltä. Dj taidoista en voi rehellisesti sanoa mitään koska aina soittanut eri huoneessa. Selektio on ainakin erikoinen. I:cube soittaa YK:n Basementissa Ali Tilletin kanssa joka siis on meidän yhteisen Warm agentuurin perustaja.
I:cube vanhaa tuotantoa, Nylon hitti
Ei niin vanhaa, Rose Garden Anthem, oli myös Kerma klassikoita
ja sit vähän uudempaa, FAlling soi YK:lla enemmän kuin on sallittua

I:CUBE (VERSATILE)
French techno/house producer I:Cube (aka Nicholas Chaix), along with such artists as Air, Motorbass, and Daft Punk, was one of the most hyped underground acts on Paris' resurging dance scene during 1996-97 (with the difference that, instead of the industry, it was those artists doing the hyping). Similar in some respects to his colleagues, I:Cube's near-comprehensive fusion of the range of minimal electronic dance musics -- a molten concoction of funk, soul, electro, trance, Chicago house, and Detroit techno -- first surfaced through the "Disco Cubism" single (on popular Parisian DJ Gilb-R's Versatile label) in 1996. Made all the more amazing by the discovery that it was the work of a teenage schoolboy, the single's popularity was upped considerably by the full-length debut, Picnic Attack, which appeared the following year. Informed by a heavy dose of driving, minimal, trance-oriented techno, the album helped distinguish I:Cube's style from that of his more press-hounded countrymates (and attracted a fair amount of hounding on its own). A surprising and consistently inventive release, the album (along with Daft Punk's Homework and the Sourcelab label compilations) gave considerable weight to the notion that Paris' dance underground is among the least stylistically segregated around, producing innovative, compositionally accomplished music both clear in focus and broad in scope. Adore, an album that pleased the dance floor and couch heads, followed in 2000. Around the album's release he released a collaberation with DJ Gilb-R as Chateau Flight.

MARK E (MERC)
It's been a long road for Mark. And the modest and unassuming DJ/producer is quick to praise those who have played a part in his success. In fact, as he discusses how his musical career has come about, it appears to be more by accident than design. There's no overarching ambition or set path to follow; just a basic desire to produce and play the music he has been passionate about since he was a teenager.
Fast-forward a few years though and it's disco, rather than house, that was responsible for Mark's big break. In summer 2005 he reshaped Womack & Womack's "Baby I'm Scared of You" in his now trademark style: slowly but surely layers of the original were looped together in a highly hypnotic fashion until, eventually, the full song was unleashed.
Since then Mark has released on labels such as Sonar Kollektiv, Golf Channel, Intrnasjonal & Running Back, consistantly creating and developing his disctinctive sound, eventually culminating in the birth of MERC, marks own label, primarily an outlet for his own productions, Merc has two release under its belt now, with 2010 looking to be another busy year.
He also has a burgeoning club calendar which has seen him play all over the world as well as uk and Europe, with forthcoming tours of Japan and Australia, Mark has visited Brazil, Russia, USA, German, Poland, France playing anything from deep house to dusty disco.
