RIVA STARR
Every once in a while a new producer just smashes their way through into the big time. That's what's happening with Riva Starr's sneak-in-and-blow-the-place-up approach. A talent whose music works for the kids as well as the European elitists, Riva seems to have burst onto the scene fully formed, and injected a shot of adrenalin directly into our ear canals.

Luring us toward the goods like a veteran gypsy stealing your wallet, his spicy concoction of Balkan beats rubbing elbows with the best elements of tech house weaves an intoxicating spell to say the least. Definitely in keeping with the cheeky spirit of "Black Cat White Cat", this is booty shaking dance floor crack that you'll find yourself begging, stealing and borrowing to get your next fix of.

With a Top5-Beatport-Single "I was drunk" featuring those genius 'did someone say they wanted us to take our clothes off' French maestros Nôze (Circus Company/Get Physical) Riva Starr's tracks are basically so much fun it should be illegal. Prepare for immediate Riva Starr infection and celebrate with us his debut artist album pre-release party "If Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade" at WMF.



OLIVER $
For those of you following Made to Play, Oliver $ is probably a household name at this point. For those not in the know, Oliver has already dropped two massive dance-floor bombs on Made to Play in 2009 with “Watcha Gonna Do?” and “What’s In Your Head”, both doing maximum damage. His two tracks on the Made to Play Scion AV Compilation - A Night at 'Made to Play' "Gypsy Carnival" and "Runnin Low" are sure to join the cadre of Made to Play classica as well.
Like a creepy ginger Jehovah’s Witness at your front porch sporting a bicycle helmet and ‘Brother $’ badge, Oliver has been spreading the Made to Play word from his DJ pulpit as he globe trots the hottest venues the world has to offer.
As the only $ that is always strong on the international market, Oli's newest release on Made to Play Digital entitled "You Got It!" sticks to his guns with crisp baselines, choppy vocals and a Dub version of the same, intertwined to keep us ass-shaking


ROUND TABLE KNIGHTS
The Round Table Knights are a DJ / producer duo consisting of Questionmark and Biru Bee. If you had to choose one single word to characterize them it could only be “diversity”. The RTK play all kinds of electronic / acoustic / futuristic / exciting / romantic / intense music. Their bright musical horizon is loved and enjoyed in clubs and at festivals such as Sonar Festival Barcelona , Popkomm Berlin, SXSW Texas or Montreux Jazz Festival.

„It‘s all about the mix“ they say. Since 2002 the “Knights” are throwing parties all over Switzerland and inviting guests from different musical genres.The „Roundies“ have successfully done remixes for Radioclit, El Guincho, Solo, Malente&Dex;, Ghostape, Franky Rizardo and more. There latest release "Belly Dance" on Deadfish got them on the next level of production with an upcoming single on Made to Play. The Round Table Knights are seriously one of the best DJs you might have seen - no matter what genre. At the Made to Play Night at WMF they will warm it up, before Oliver$ gets serious to pass it on to Riva Starr and let Shir Khan do the golden closing.


SHIR KHAN
Berliner Shir Khan takes his name from The Jungle Book's villainous tiger and the similarities don't end there. Shir Khan proves he's as charming as he is deadly. Don't expect the usual Teutonic techno tones. Instead this is dance music hybridism in all its most glorious, baffling and technicolour forms, and Shir Khan's an expert at making square pegs fit round holes.
Electro-house is a crowded field with electric fences to boot. In such a busy genre where innovation is often suffocated by the sheer weight of volume of DJs, slamming club nights and relentless releases, it's rare to be sonically arrested. Shir Khan just did it. This Berliner is an old-school jockey managing to start global trots off the back of his well circulated mix-tapes before he'd ever made a tune. Now though, he has the confidence of many promoters in his hands and his contacts and ability to scoop up talent suggests an engaging individual.
Shir Khan is absolutely savage, slick, eclectic, multi genred, music savy and connected. His current "Exploited"-CD has been described as "engaging, riveting and diverse" and received fantastic media coverage with album of the month in Mixmag and DJ-Mag.
