DJ PETE - Peter Kuschnereit is a man with a somewhat understated, yet deeply resonating influence on the electronic scene within Berlin and in turn modern dance electronic music across the globe. Most widely know for joining forces with sometime collaborator Rene Lowe (a.k.a. Vainquer) to form Scion, together they provided the landmark debut release for the legendary Basic Channel's sister-label, Chain Reaction (1995's 'Emerge'). The duo were later called upon by BC's Mark Ernestus & Moritz Von Oswald to represent the duo's many excursions into dubbed-out techno in the live arena; a calling which in turn resulted in their destroying dancefloors across the globe and also 2002's awesome 'Scion Arrange & Process Basic Channel' CD. Shortly after Scion's debut, Pete released a string of equally as compelling, solo recordings under the pseudonym Substance through CR which were then compiled in the form of 1997s stunning 'Session Elements' album. Remix work followed for the likes of Juan Atkins, and Central's The Memory Foundation (and more recently Robert Hood) cementing interest in his production work and the chance to release for Surgeon's Counterbalance imprint, yet again revealing a different side to his sound; this time under his DJ-Pete moniker. Despite a recording career that speaks for itself, it is fair to say that Pete is in fact just as renowned as one of the core members of staff at the mighty Hardwax in Berlin - without a doubt one of the worlds finest record stores - with the cream of electronic music passing through his hands on a daily basis, and it is with this in mind that we welcome him to The Ruck. DYNAREC - Having been honing his production skills since 1994, Dynarec eventually debuted on Holland's highly respected Delsin records with 2003's 'R-Cam' - An e.p. which, whilst wearing it's influences on it's sleeve, across the 5 varied tracks, in turn set an agenda for extremely potent electronic funk with particularly high production values. Interest snowballed and further releases soon came in the form of an e.p. for Marco Passarannni's Nature imprint, the launch of Vaporwave - Dynarec's own label - with the fearsome 'Eiso-X', followed by 'The Lost Souls' and the highly acclaimed LP 'Input User' (both once again for Delsin); all of which serving to further cement his reputation as a musical force to be reckoned with. With the 4th Vaporwave ready for release, remix work for CKal & Glasgow's Point One Recordings, last years stunning 'Legendary Days' (Kondi) still very much fresh in peoples minds AND (phew!) a 2nd LP forthcoming on Nature, Dynarec has somehow also taken time to develop some of the other aspects of his musical personality... With three 12"s under his belt as Chris Kalera, he explores the realms of techno and more pop orientated sounds and as Speakwave - his latest incarnation as debuted on last years 'Planet Delsin' LP - exposing listeners to recordings inspired by the motor-city soul of Detroit; recordings that have thus far gained such high acclaim as sounding "like Kenny Larkin in his prime"... Weighty praise indeed, which can only serve to further wet appetites for the imminent releases which include more tracks for Delsin and also an e.p. for Brighton's very own bastions of lush electronic sounds, Digital Soul Records. Clearly a man currently on the crest of the wave of his boundless musical energy, it is with great anticipation that we look forward to the arrival of Dynarec for what should prove to be a must see live performance from an artist that's on the top of their game.
