The prodigal son of funk, Rocco Raimundo is the bi-product of synthesised disco lines and stage-worthy orchestral compositions. A young Rocco spent his childhood running amongst the vineyards of Bordeaux, Cerrone playing through his portable 8-track player. Living on the dreams of the past, Rocco packed his 24-track tapes, 33s, 45s and 78s into his drop top Lancia Beta, and made his way to Monte Carlo.
Escaping the night-charms of the Monaco, he eloped on a journey through Pollo Erotico into the future. Adjusting that Flux Capacitor nestled neatly between two scantily clad playmates, that flavour of musical jam that made women adulterate can now be consumed once again. The linen is pressed, candles lit. Tone arm down.

Xinobi has in the past few years, developed his own versatile, honest sound. Tracks like BMX, who jump-started his musical career, bring in the funky-house that we now associate with him, although he also dabbles in Disco, Techno and Electro. His tracks are clearly from the present day but cognizant of the good bits of the past. Visually, one might say his tracks are inspired by palm-trees, the ocean, and great sunsets. They remind us of how awesome the soundtracks of our favorite movies (the comedies, the ones from the 80s, or the good old italian movies from the 60s and 70s) can really be. Thats why you can clearly hear some of these decades in the sound of Xinobi. The sensitivity of the 60s, the disco and psychedelics of the 70s, the breakdance from the 80s, the french and american 90s house music, and the mash-ups of today.
Xinobi got a cult status through tracks like "Day Off", envied and remixed by many other producers.
Recently, and a result of his many trips around the world, he's surprised the world with his collaboration with Joshua Jakq in the love song "The Best of Me", clearly one of his finest works and one that shows his true talents as a musician and composer.
Edwin Van Cleef is an upcoming Electro / French House producer and DJ who now lives in Leeds, England. He got into music thanks to his Father, who was a DJ. At first, Edwin dabbled with mixers in his youth. However, a couple years ago he started taking music more seriously.
He’s already taken the world of music blogs by storm with his brand of space disco, capturing the attention of Dodselectro, Stoney Roads, Red Threat who all feature his works on a regular basis. His original production ‘Overtaken’ quickly became a blog favourite last year with it also on the receiving end of heavy support from BBC Radio 1’s Jaymo and George.
This year will see Edwin release the storming single ‘Heart Beat Faster’ and his remix duties continue with the forthcoming singles from Shinichi Osawa, Housse De Racket and Raw Man + Blanche. There will be a few surprises on their way too. Stay tuned.

We would like to proudly present our first interview and guest mix by Nobody's Hero. Some time ago we posted his dj set 'Disco Never Go Wrong'. We really loved it. After we checked his profile on soundcloud it occured to us that he also makes a very good tunes. We've decided to take a chance and ask him for an interview and guest mix for us. Below you can check how it turned out.
Maybe at the beginning tell us where are you from, what's your full name, how old are you?
My name is Pál Tamás, I'm 18 years old and I'm from Hungary.
How did you come up with your nickname Nobody's Hero?
I thought of my name with my cousin and he said: Nobody's Hero and I liked it.
How did your adventure with music started? Do you attend some music school? Or did you learn everything by yourself?
Everything started when I spoke with my good friend Shawn Mac. He showed me a lot of things about producing and I owe him with a huge thanks!
By the way I want to say big thanks to Holic because his mix was the first Nu Disco mix that I heard and he showed me what really is Nu Disco.
You are dj and producer. But what takes more of your time?
I'm a producer and I learn Djing now. Yeah, I make mixes but I'm not a Dj yet.
What do you prefer being dj or producer?
Producer.
How did your cooperation with Nu Indee and Spiritsoul labels started?
I spoke with Lazercat and we thought we make a collab on a track. We showed it to Pierre (He is the A&R Manager of Nu Indee) and he liked it and released it.
After that I started my own tracks and uploaded them to Soundcloud and Phunktastike (Owner of Spiritsoul) liked it a lot. The EP is out now on Beatport.
Do you work on any music project right now?
I have started lots of new track but haven't finished them yet.
Is there any production of yours that you are proud most?
Is there any club in your city where are you playing or maybe you are resident in one? And if we will be once time in your city what place you will recomend us for best party?
I'm not playing because i'm not a Dj yet. But soon...
Do you have any tracks that you can always listen to, that puts a smile on your face and makes you feel better?
