Influenced and brought up by music from the Basic Channel family, Detroit techno, Chicago house, Cologne minimal, clicks'n'cuts as much as early Massive Attack, Beastie Boys, Cypress Hill or the Rollins Band.
I started to play as a DJ in 2000 under My primary minimal house disguise “Pussy Kontrol”, mentally and musically moving on the axis "Bratislava - Berlin - Cologne - Chicago - Detroit" in a permanent, somewhat automatic and self-determined way. I also play under my Detroit-techno Polish moniker “Tyczko Czysticz”. As an experi-mental laptop Nordic offshoot named “Mikka Miinimä”, I occasionally create as well as perform music of my own.
I showed up among others with Portable and DNC at a giga-gig Orion Hall in Brno, Czech Republic, 2003. Showed off in Banska Bystrica (Slovakia), with Andy Vaz in a cosy tea-bar and I played there also at the Barbakan festival. Other DJs I played with in Bratislava include Jeff Milligan, Dave Miller, dB, SLG. I had a good time DJ-ing with Baltazar in a makeshift club in Vienna. My favourite DJ experiences include playing with my friend Milos at uncountable places in SLovakia, brother Bruyant (initially as "M&M" duo), occasionally "ping-pong stylee" with the vintage and laptop wizard DNC/Dunco (as Tyczko, running sporadic bar gigs named Tits'n'Clits). I live in Belgium since 2005 where I played with DJ Sensu in Brussels and Eupen.
Music influences:
Basic Channel, Cologne minimal, Detroit techno/house, Chicago house, Acid, electronic ambient and early trip-hop.
Deviations:
I used to hate pop now I like its kitschyness. I just adore horror and sci-fi movies. I like pureness of all cyclical sounds. That’s about it.

Jordan Rivera is back this time with legendary UK singer Spoonface (faada.co.uk). The voice of Number one selling Black Legend and club anthem 'Hey Girl'. Black Legend's "You See the Trouble with Me" reached #1 in the UK Singles Chart selling several million worldwide. Many recognise Spoonface's contribution to the sound of Ukfunky with the classic dancefloor hit 'Hey Girl' With a host of collaborations from Drum and Bass maestro High Contrast to Reggae Legend Janet Kay, his current efforts have kept him at the top of the club charts with tracks like Wunna Be (Christain Marchi remix) and Here For You (Time srl). This track is called 'Keep on Holding'. It's an inspirational house record aiming to provide some upliftment in these 'crazy time's'. Remixes by Jesse Voorn (Dance4Life), Firebeatz (Spinnin/Big&Dirty), John Jacobsen & Anzwer (Pacha Ibiza Residents) Nino Anthony (Portamento/Subliminal), TYNY & Jeremus (Full Throttle Rec.), Amir Barbell (FSM), Jodee Kitch (FSM) and Norty Cotto (Naughty Boy Music/Henry Street Music) Have already become a triumphant hit on myspace!"
Fresh from playing Fabric in London, Berghain in Berlin and Robert Johnson in Offenbach (3 of the best clubs in the world), Levon Vincent comes to Manna for his 4th DJ set on European soil. As part of the new New York underground house movement (together with Jus Ed, DJ Qu, etc), Levon has been responable for the renaissance of house and techno in New York and is now rapidly spreading his wings, his records causing big waves in the European club scene. A self-confessed scientist working in the field of ass-shakery, Levon has been trained in the do's and don'ts of the club scene in New York since 1992, hanging out with Dee-lite (before they became famous), going to legendary clubs like the Sound Factory and DJ'ing in bars and clubs all over town. His recent podcast for Resident Advisor caused a big stir as well and when he was playing in Germany recently, even magazine Der Spiegel wrote an article about this phenomenon.
Also on the roster is Roger 23. Roger has released on Playhouse, Volt Musik, Baud and Meakusma. His dj sets are ecletic, incorporating house, techno and weird 80's stuff. He is a true craftsman when it comes to Dj'ing, having an amazing talent to 'feel' the dancefloor, mixing in stuff from leftfield, being able to always surprise his audience, without ever losing the groove, although the 'groove' in Roger's hands is totally his own unique voice.
Levon Vincent (Deconstruct, Novel Sound, USA) Roger 23 (Playhouse, meakusma, GER) Sensu & mck (Plain, meakusma, manna)
