Nika Breithaupt aka Nika Son has been working as a musician, artist, film composer and DJ since she graduated in Fine Arts from the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Hamburg in 2012. Influenced by musique concrète and the vastness of electronic music, her compositions are created from deformed and fragmented field recordings, which she weaves together with analogue synthesising, broken rhythms, rare vocal snippets and modulated tape. As a sound artist and film composer, she has become a dedicated hunter of extraordinary sounds while experimenting with new and old technologies in music.
Detlef Weinrich aka Tolouse Low Trax soon developed his own distinctive electro-musical language after founding Kreidler (1994). He has been working as Toulouse Low Trax since around 2005 and has shaped the internationally celebrated sound of Salon des Amateurs and brought it to the world. In addition to his musical work, he has also helped shape the Salon des Amateurs community and influenced many young musicians and DJs.
