Loco Dice @ Vessel

Loco Dice has opened for Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Jamiroquai and Usher all over Germany. Within a year he was playing at Tribehouse and now plays all over the world. Loco Dice's own definition of house music is "deep, groovy, chunky, driving, Dice really loves the smaller clubs and the Terrace bars under an open sky and this is borne out at both his residencies at DC-10 and Tribehouse. It was at Tribehouse that he was spotted by producer and DJ Timo Maas, and as a fan and a friend he signed Dice to his 4:20 imprint and together with Martin Buttrich and vocalist Phil Barnes they created their first Clubsmash "Phat Dope Shit.” NIKITA is among the top DJs of San Francisco’s world-famous club scene. In 2005 Nikita was chosen to host his own radio show on Northern California's Energy 92.7 FM – The Massive Mix. Performing anywhere from 2 to 8 hours, Nikita's playfulness behind the decks takes you on a ride seamlessly blending sick minimal grooves, heavy basslines, melodic synths, and twisted beats, while still keeping it soulful and deep. Nikita has played along side the likes of Lee Burridge, Steve Lawler, Steve Bug, M.A.N.D.Y., Tom Stephan (Superchumbo), Craig Richards and Damian Lazarus, with inspiration coming from friends like Ms. Honey Dijon, Tedd Patterson and Danny Tenaglia. Through his broad musical taste and genre bending, Nikita has always managed to create a unique dance floor experience that continues to draw a diverse audience. Christian Morag of Bang the Box has been influenced by Carl Craig, Derrick May, Mood II Swing, Juan Atkins, Green Velvet, Derrick Carter, Kompakt, Transmat, Relief, Cajual, MAW dubs, Eletroids, Doppler Effekt, Drexia, Underground resistance, Mr. Fingers, DBX, and more.
