Ruede Hagelstein / Lake People / Curses / Total Fitness b2b Cranks

Creating the right atmosphere is essential for Martin Enke alias Lake People, so it doesn't surprise that he prefers to play on his strength to create an arc of suspense with melancholic melodies that drive the audience relentlessly to his gently deep interpretation of house. After his release debut on Kollektiv Turmstraße's Musik Gewinnt Freude imprint in 2011, it was his Point EP in particular that fortified the typical Lake People sound. His debut album Purposely Uncertain Field will be released through Munich's Permanent Vacation


Curses was originally an Institubes (RIP) artist back in 2009 and to most had disappeared.

However, at 6am, November 19th 2012 at an afterparty in New York, Curses came back.

"I was going to a lot of after-hours parties in Brooklyn and loved it. It inspired me to go to the studio and suddenly I had a whole bunch of new songs. Next thing I was djing. It was at that point when I knew Curses was coming back."

And Curses has hit a nerve with the first single SO GOOD.

He sent the track to a few friends and suddenly the song is being played on Radio 1. Seven times in two weeks. On top of that Heidi asked for a DJ mix for Radio 1 as well as long-time friend Skream.

Meanwhile back in the US, Tensnake was about to begin his first ever full North American tour with Curses in support. A strong friendship was formed and pushed Curses to full-time.

Curses has a slew of massive singles coming out in 2013 and 2014 on various labels.


Cranks is a Brooklyn-based DJ and producer. His techno-tinged tracks and foreboding yet flowing sounds can be heard in clubs throughout NYC and on his debut EP, released in July through the Safer At Night label. Cranks is gearing up for a busy year with more tunes on the horizon.
