John Lagora alias “Tim Wucherpfennig” was born in 1981 in Oberhausen (Ruhr-Area). Thanks to his older brother ,he got infected by electronic music in the age of 11. Listening to old BFBs-based mix tapes of “Steve Mason” was getting his favourite activity. The fast discovery of the darker & harder side of electronic music resulted in starting loving hardcore and rave tunes. With the longlasting consumption of the electronic drug,the beats became slower,softer and more experimental for him. In 1995 he got in possesion of the music software “magix musicmaker 1.0″,which animates him to do early attempts at walking in the world of music. But very quick he was bored by premade sample collections and looked for new ways,his solution was like that: “I need synthies!” So he went for it and the program “Fruity Loops” (today known as “FL Studio”) put things right for John. After a few years dealing with the new software,he started to do his first own stuff. These early steps resulted in his first releases on respected and well-known netlabels,like alquimia,rumpfunk records and zimmer in the year 2006. John received his first positive resonances on these releases from all over the world. Releasing on Netlabels persisted for 1 year,he wanted to go that way and got encouraged by criticisms. In the time of new media-technology,digital platforms like “Beatport & Juno” gave him the chance to release music on a way more seriously and professionally. First releases appeared,caught on and gave him that kind of feedback,he needed to go on with what he..s in love: making music! In 2008 John could realise the ne plus ultra of every electronic music producer: releasing on the black beauty,the vinyl record!!! His primary dream of doing music was overtaken and he had the ability to play his own records on gigs.
In 2008/2009 new projects will be presented,his upcoming releases list contains more than 10 record releases on labels like Fortek,Skript Music,Choke & Eruptive, Material Series/Monique Musique, Frequenza, Intermission Ltd. and many more. New exclusive digital releases are also in the waiting line,like the project with “Caie!”,where both influences get together to form a funny,fluffy and funky mixture between Techno and House.

In 2005 the two Stuttgart DJs and producers Frank Nova and Oliver Schleenvoigt started their latest project Monoroom, and they’ve been rocking the clubs as a techno Liveact or DJ Act ever since. The sound resonated in the scene, and Monoroom moved ahead steadily with heavy bookings. The Big Bang came in November 2006. The Brazilian mastermind Gui Boratto lent a hand and played back an explosive Monoroom remix. “Memory Inc. Part 2″ hit the dance floors like a bomb. Monoroom gained international attention and the Gui Boratto remix was on the playlists and charts of DJs like Oliver Koletzki, Kiki, Martin Eyerer, Oxia or Williams and was licensed for various mix CDs, such as “Cocorico 1″ by Oliver Koletzki. Since then, Monoroom has produced for a series of international record labels including Kling Klong, Multicolor, Superfancy, Session Deluxe, Death by Disco, Rhythmetic and others. When not producing and remixing in the studio in Benztown, in summer 2007 Monoroom was mostly on the road as a live act throughout Europe, Asia and particularly South America, and their always original sound - somewhere between minimal and Detroit techno - has played into the hearts and legs of the clubbers. They are currently concentrating on remixes for Minilogue (known from Traum Schallplatten), Dani Casarano (known from Connaisseur) and working increasingly once again on various productions of their own. Frank Nova is one of the co-founders of Freunde Tontraeger, as previously for Bond Records. He was also a label assistant for Martin Eyerer at Session Deluxe. (copyrights by Freunde Tontraager)
