His sound – one of a kind, his success – international, his mission – rocking the international club scene as a DJ. His name: David Puentez! and he’s from Germany!!!
Ever since David started his DJ career in 2003, his distinctive sound set new standards in the scene and he is internationally hailed as one of the most promising talents of Germany’s DJs and producers. There is proof every day: David’s bootlegs are a must have for everyone who knows how to thrill the crowd – by now, Finally 2011, Work Knas, Billie Jean Was Here, Super Blink, One Calabria and Instant Technologic are an inherent part of the hottest mixes of well known international DJs. David who is called „Master behind the Decks” and “King of Booty” by some big names in the industry, lives up to his promises and experiences by giving a continuous input – to make it simple: it’s all about David Puentez and a killer sound! At the same time, David’s bootlegs and productions are appreciated by worldwide DJ legends such as Bob Sinclar, Chuckie, David Vendetta, The Disco Boys, Fatboy Slim and Miss Nine just to name a few. They are the ones who participate in David Puentez’ career and who support him by playing his bootlegs – Roger Sanchez even presented David Puentez as the spotlight of his respected radio show. The Cologne resident has risen to the forefront of the scene and received international recognition by having a string of hits including: “Lovers feat. Errol Reid”, “Let’s Go”, “In My Mouth” and “Wow”. “Melodrama”, David’s current smash hit, conquers the playlists of Djs and radios worldwide and is one of the most successful international house tunes produced in 2011 – GETDOWN Recordings, SONY-Onelove Australia, Universal USA and disco:wax Scandinavia released the track which hit among others the Norwegian Top 10 Dance Charts. David’s music does not only represent club and nightlife but also an international lifestyle – his performance on Fashion TV Asia is just one proof. No matter if David is booked as a guest DJ for fashion events or private parties of VIPs and celebrities – jet set and a tight schedule are what David’s life is all about. In addition, David also showed his talent as an acknowledged producer in the studio: his remixes of Amanda Wilson, Daddy’s Groove, D.O.N.S., Inaya Day, Lenny Fontana, Mobin Master, Nicky Romero and Ridney were released on the labels Cr2, Hed Kandi, Houseworks, Kontor, Ministry of Sound, Onelove, Sneakerz MUZIK, Spinnin Records and Work Machine. Once David is in the club, the word party gets a new definition – from the P1 in Munich, 1234 Club Montreal, Bed Supperclub Bangkok to the Imperia Lounge in Moscow, David’s career shows that „The only way is up“. Just recently, the Cologne resident was introduced to the artist portfolio of one of the most acclaimed DJ agency, MN2S, and once again demonstrates that his reputation as “The most talented upcoming DJ in the World“ is for real. With his new house anthem „Komodo (Picotto’s Theme 2011)“ which is released on Mauro Picotto’s Label Aida, David Puentez is taking it to the next level: a cutting-edge house sound and one more step up without taking off from the real world.

Tonight we’re featuring Nicky Romero for EoP Saturday Night Sessions with his Yearmix 2011 set.
-= BIOGRAPHY =-
It was January 6th, 1989 when young Dutchman Nicky Romero saw his first light of day. Born and raised in a small city called Amerongen, Nicky developed an interest for music at a very young age. At the age of 6 he hit his first snare drum after joining a marching band and this is where it all kicked off for young Nicky. After saving up for a little while, Nicky obtained his first drum kit and started banging away at it like there was no tomorrow. For the next three years there was only one beat to be heard in the Romero household, Nicky’s beat, practising the drums day and night.
Being bored with the drum kit, made way for a brand new set of turntables. Studying and practising his mixing skills were mainly what Nicky’s life consisted of at the time. Already flirting with the idea of making his own music and rocking the crowds some day. When Nicky finished school, the path was clear and the objective was set, producing music became not only a career, but a way of life!
The very first musical offerings Privilege and QWERTY by Romero were snatched up by a small boutique label called ‘Once Records’ the ‘Romero sound’ was born. Next to having a few more releases on small independent imprints, there was a remix for Tony Cha Cha and Sidney Samson: ‘Get On The Floor’ that whirled up a storm of publicity. All the aforementioned achievements, left one more aspect of the production game in need of conquering; the bootleg. Producing his own interpretation of David Guetta’s ‘When Love Takes Over’ resulted in instantly becoming the so called talk of the town with thousands of hits on Youtube and posts on various influential music blogs, Nicky made his entrance into the global scene.
Releasing ‘My Friend’ really paved the way for Nicky. The track released onSpinnin’ Records shot to a 4th place in the overall Beatport top 100 download chart and straight to the top spot on Dutch portal Dance–Tunes. This success resulting in the worlds top artists supporting almost everything Nicky releases nowadays. People the likes of Tiesto, Fedde Le Grand, David Guetta and Sander Van Doorn all often feature tracks by Nicky in their sets. All these accolades make for Nicky being one of the hottest, most sought after producers and remixers on the planet today. With remixes for Green Velvet, Tiesto, Flo-Rida and David Guetta the outlook for 2012 is a promising one.
Nicky Romero has truly entered the top realm within the global dance scene.

Miss Shiva (alias Nathalie Bungardt ) whom is a very good friend of mine is this Saturday’s Empire of Perth guest for the final set of 2011 and what more can the most amazing Miss Shiva as the EoP Saturday Night Session Podcast. Much Love Miss Shiva…. //ENJOY!!!
While most DJs and producers get to know travelling as a weekend strain, they make use of their spare time during the week by relaxing and taking in new energy. Miss Shiva went their own, serpent way, literally: only travelling had revealed the entry to make it possible for her acquiring the state of a DJ goddess… Via a concatenation of incidents she had been washed ashore of a well-known place where a worshiped temple of Techno had been located to which the German party community made their pilgrimages every weekend. But let’s follow her career right from the start:
Miss Shiva doesn’t know any standstill. On the contrary – willing to change for the better her manifold interests as well as her desire for discovering and absorbing something new made her always achieve top performance. In 1991 her urge for movement and freedom eventually led into an extensive travel through Europe. Fate (i.e. in this case her funds running out) ended her journey in Frankfurt, Techno city, at the time of the dawning of a new musical era. So Frankfurt was her destination for the time being, at the same time the place for starting her new career. The magical attraction of masses in motion made Miss Shiva feel drawn to the temple of Techno mentioned at the beginning: namely Sven Väth’s Omen. Inspired by the the legendary scenes which were going on there every weekend she started her triumphant advance as a DJane herself three years later. Shortly afterwards she discovered her preference for a Trance-infected sound that reflects her temperament best.
Shiva, Hindu god of dance and patron saint for the DJane personifies universal energy. The rhythm of his dance is related to the dynamics of the universe, just gets the great variety of its celestial bodies and their forms of motion going. Trance is the musical style that is permanently lasting in motion– rhythmically, melodically, harmonically. Miss Shiva, who wanted to be a dancer already from childhood, is gaining new energy from these meandering structures, transforming it into Asian dance styles every time during her DJ sets. Thus, the power of music is passed on to the party animals, all out by its mediator.
After having played residencies in various local clubs Miss Shiva resumed travelling, this time worldwide: she is booked for spinning in the biggest clubs as well as at the most famous events (HR3 [Frankfurt radio station]-Clubnight, Cosmox-, Love Parade Germany, Vienna, Zurich, Budapest…). The party headquarters Miami, Ibiza, Malta and England fight over her. During the “Overload” spectacular at ‘Kunsthalle’ Vienna in 2001 she obtained the desirable Techno Award for the best DJane of the year 2000. Her 12″EP “Dreams 2002″ (rmxs by Cosmic Gate and Humate) rose sensationally to the Top 20 of the British sales charts, an ennoblement only a handful of German producers have succeded in to date. The incredible success has repeated itself just now: The current double CD compilation “Dream Dance 24″ (Sony Music) having been mixed by Miss Shiva has entered the British charts, too – from 0 to position 30!
A South American tour (Miss Shiva played 4 raves in Peru, among others) as well as guest performances in Canada are just further stops within her restless dance mission; her forthcoming bookings will lead her to South Africa. Even this year she will launch her own Artist Mangement Agency Frankfurt Sounds Artist Management.
