WANTED & STEREOTYPE Present: Daniel Stefanik (Cocoon)

It all started with a weekly Wednesday at Club Trilogy, Souk Madinat Jumeirah. The idea was entirely based around exposing Dubai to the finest underground DJ talent from around the world. Whether it be in techno, minimal, house, electro, break beat, electronica, the goal was to maintain a very high standard of artist bookings and really give the people of Dubai an education in what the world of underground dance music has to offer! We also intend to give the local talent the chance to get the exposure they deserve, giving them a good few hours to play before the main artist. WANTED now returns every Thursday from 5th December and to kick it off with a bang, we've teamed up with the boys from STEREOTYPE to bring you nothing but the best! >> STEREOTYPE << A night where carefully selected international House and Techno DJs and Producers play for your ears. A night where our resident DJs set the tone and the VJs will keep you intrigued with his/her live animations. And what brings it all together is that vibe that you create when you come down and express yourself, move yourself and bop your head to the beat. https://www.facebook.com/stereotypedubai >> DANIEL STEFANIK (Cocoon Germany) << Born in a rather provincial area around Leipzig Daniel initially in his boyhood had his first rhythmic taste by way of the little drummer boy set for 8 years. Starting in the mid-nineties he immediately felt in love with Detroit Techno. What followed was the Stefanik big-bang: research, reading, slangin goods, learning, cash collection, looting of the hard wax, the development of an affinity for the proper records, laying sets in the Berlin strong box, adding new wrinkles to his sound…until he then belonged to those who had taken such a dose of the electro that there was no turning back. Together with Stefan Wesemann as Urban Force he affects a unique vision from dub, electronic, & techno. Further stations of his production and DJ activity are Statik Entertainment including Digital Label-Instabil, Cargo Edition, Moon Harbour, Tanzmann & Stefanik, Dessous, Mobilee, a residency as DJ in the Distillery in Leipzig and Club Zooma Plauen, and not to forget his numerous remixes with the completely special Stefanik-Feder (feather). The playful multifaceted-nous, mental impact and nerdy aesthetic of his musicals put different stylistic facets to: dub, house, techno, minimal-, & maximalist tonal imagery, in addition to the Detroit bow each with weight and pitch as an adjustable parameter, seeping into the Stefanik-esque production - a script without rigid limits! The end of 2008 saw a special heartfelt occasion with the album “Reactivity” on Static Entertainment – a truth, on many levels worked hybrid from the dub world, harmonic riffs, ambient moments paired off with depth and visionary impact from house and techno. Currently Daniel Stefanik is at the like-minded Freude am Tanzen camp, with his first release, which in 2008 was blessed with the ‘licht of vinyl’ being itself a true enriching of the opulent FAT-catalog. His art is to reduce at just the right place, thereby the quintessence of the music is brought to the fore and at the same time a feeling of frivolity is left behind. >> Salah Sadeq | Techfui << A multi-cultured creative who, for the last 21 years, has excelled in the field of music and design working with and alongside a number of high profile international and regional creative agencies, clients, brands, venues, labels and artists. His hunger and professionalism has translated across to his musical career as well, something which is apparent to anyone who has heard him play. An experience of any of Salah’s magical sets is one that remains with you for days, weeks and months. It’s from within his soul that this talented and well-exposed DJ reaches out, with a style of music that spans deep - house - groovy - minimal - electronica - techno - acid - disco - dub - abstract beats and pieces that GET UNDER YOUR SKIN; a truly experienced diverse style that never fails to infect the listener with a dirty groove. Renowned across continents as a serious performer, Salah has a unique ability to keep a room full of people grooving for hours. Once you’ve heard one of his sets, you’ll definitely want to come back for more. ____________________________________________________________ • EVENT DETAILS • • Tickets: AED80.
