zuHOUSE ROCKERS / DJ Team
Lars van Josten and DJ Todde, both born in a picturesque city called Dortmund,
situated in the middle of the Ruhr area, launched their career as funk & house DJs in
1992. Soon, Lars was organising events and worked as a club promoter in his
hometown. With his initiative and dedication, he pushed the development of a local
house & techno scene like no one else in his otherwise underdeveloped area.
In 1999, Lars, supported by DJ Todde, called the zuHOUSE events into existance. A
lot of national and international big names visited them over the years, amongst
them GEORGE MOREL, FALCON, TOM NOVY, DISCO BOYS In 2000, they started
another successful event called "DEPARTURE DTM" @ Sixx.PM with guests like PAUL
VAN DYK, WESTBAM, MOGUAI and TIMO MAAS. As Lars and Todde played a lot of
gigs together, so it felt natural to take the project to the next level and eventually, in
2001, they decided to DJ as a team the zuHOUSE ROCKERS were born.
They enthused the crowd not only at their own partys but also at a lot of other gigs
in the whole of Germany (Delight und Modernes/Bremen, Betty Ford/Hamburg,
Kick/Herford, Tribehouse/Neuss, Bungalow-Club, A9/Bayreuth, Dorian
Gray/Frankfurt), gigs in Ibiza (Space, Bora Bora, El Divino) and France (Snowzone,
Boarderweek) followed.
When you watch them behind the wheels of steel it becomes obvious that they have
a lot of fun, never without leaving aside the musical and technical demands required
to play a good set . The successful collaboration between Lars and Todde was
transfered into production in 2002 with the help of PETER JÜRGENS (Prawler, Peter
Gun) & BERTY POLZIN (Beatcounter). Amsterdam based artist DADARA ® designed
all the cover artworks for their releases, a co-operation they are very proud of.
The first 12 inch was released in June 2002 and distributed by Peppermint Jam. Four weeks later the vinyl was sold out and listed in the playlists of The Disco Boys, Tune Brothers, Phil Fuldner and others. The second release followed in September 2002 and another 8 weeks later it was also sold out. 2003 No. 003 and No. 004, "Lonely Heart" and "Power", came out and took a similar successful way.
The 4th release POWER was also signed by Antoine Clamaran and re-released on the French house label Voices and to Minimalistik records in Italy. In Dezember 2004 the track will be found on MIXMAG´s tunes of the year.
In February 2004, Lars van Josten and DJ Todde started their own club called
zuHOUSE.Club which is of course based in Dortmund. Theres no home like zuHOUSE !-
The Clubs host guest like Armand van Helden, Paul van Dyk, Sasha, Timo Maas, Moguai, X-Press2, Seb Fontaine, Loco Dice, Tania Vulcano, Michael Burian, Falcon, Tom Novy, Lexy & K-Paul, Till West & DJ Delicious, The Disco Boys, Westbam, Kid Alex and many more.
Along side they all played at the new zuHOUSE ROCKER homebase.
The 6th vinyl of the zuHOUSE ROCKER, Brazilla, featured a Remix of Kurd Maverick (aka DJ Gian).
The 12 was quite successful and climb up to Place 3 of the Poland Clubcharts.
The 2005 zuHOUSE Remix of MILK & SUGARs Jezabell was successful in Germany and climb into the Top of the German Dance Charts.
The biggest Gig was in 2005 a Party in YALTA/Ukraine.
At the Club of the famous Hotel Oleander the whole set was broadcasted live in the whole Ukraine.
In May 2006 the zuHOUSE ROCKER played the first gig on the 15th anniversary of Germanys biggest Dance Event Mayday.
