Smith n Hack is the collaborative project of Soundhack aka Soundstream and Errorsmith, who is also part of MMM.Associated with the legendary Hardwax record store in Berlin, the two guys are producing disco, house and techno influenced clubmusic since over 10 years now. In 2001 Smith n Hack started a series of ‘tribute’ releases as a way to pay respect to their favorite artists.Smith n Hack’s production skills brought them the appreciation of Matthew Herbert and Ricardo Villalobos, who asked them for remixes. Smith n Hack’s genius rework of Ricardo Villalobos‘ “Easy Lee” into a psyched out high energy anthem has been one of the highlight tracks of 2004 and their remix of Herbert’s “Moving Like A Train” currently hit the dancefloors heavily!

The female pseudonym of Sarah Goldfarb hides a male artist that lives in Marseille and who is definitively part of these new electronic emergent signatures. Since 1994 Jean-Vincent Luccini (his real name) has organized parties on a register inspired from north american pioneers such as Richie Hawtin, Jeff Mills, Carl Craig and their direct heirs: Baby Ford, Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano.For his production Jean Vince chose the pseudonym of Sarah Goldfarb, the name of the amphetamined grandmother in Darren Aranofskys Requiem For A Dream. In 2003 his productions were pressed by Colognes label Trapez. It was just the beginning : he started working on regular basis with many other labels all over Europe, such as Handeld or Treibstoff. In 2005 Jean Vince also helped create a new net label in his city, indigomagenta, releasing free tracks and taking inspiration from creative common licences philosophy.The label Roman, Photo was created a few months later with some of his friends, following his meeting with Someone Else who gave him the first Roman.In 2006, Sarah Goldfarb released the atonishing Superbooper on his friends label Virgo Music, along with a remix of [T]ékel.
