Actor One is a music production project of Ison and Christos Mavridis and its purpose is to move your body through your ears first. Based In Thessaloniki, Greece they have been Djing on their own separate projects pushing dance music forward in the country through the established NON collective, however it is not more than a year since they have decided to work together on music. Sharing the same passion for music based on house and detroit grooves they have created and developed their own electronic sound.

Actor One were formed back in 2008. With early releases with a different studio partner on labels such as International Deejay Gigolos and Bloop recs Actor One received support from artists such as Agoria, Heidi, Hell, Danny Tenaglia, Osunlade, Brothers Vibe, Laurent Garnier, JImpster to name a few. They have also remixed Fischerspooner on their " Supply & Demand " single. A quiet period has followed when Actor One have been reformed with Ison & Christos Mavridis this time and looked for new musical pathways. And today they are back better than ever .

Their official return on discography is coming through a contribution of an exclusive track on Heidi's " Jackathlon" compilation which is going to be released in June 2011 on Get Physical records. However expect for more things to come soon from AO.

With a broad musical background which varies from jazz, Chicago / Detroit house, to 80's synths & techno Actor One have been reworking their music by improvising constantly in the studio. Their musical blend of house, minimalism and jazz is easily identified. However there is also more serious approach on their music with deep and heavy basslines using " black " surprise vocals, ready for packed dancefloors.

Techno?s biggest flaw is its self-referencial tendency. You know the deal, the common
contemporary DJ/Producer steals an Underground Resistance-Record from his older brother
at the age of 16 (biographical details may vary, not to impair the facts, though), thus
presuming to have found the holy grail (what, of course, nobody is claiming to deny).
His world is shrinking down to Detroit, Chicago, New York and Berlin within the following
years, he?ll equip himself with records and turntables and not look over the rim of his MKII
ever again. Adam Ports biography is different. Adam was Hardcore, when he was 16. No, not
Rotterdam-Hardcore. We?re talking New York-, Boston- and Washington D.C.-Hardcore here.
It?s a past that he still lives up to, cultivating it in his vegetarian-straight-edge-lifestyle.
After that there was HipHop. He got in touch with turntablism, discovered his love for vinyl and
evolved to be a skilled DJ for the first time. Then, finally came Techno. This way of tracing
down spaces, giving one the best possible chance of self-development, is the essential
reason for Ports presence being so unique. There?s no scene-dictated tunnel view in his
activities, there is only a pointed emphasis on style, on groove and sophistication. An
emphasis, that, because it?s informed by Dub, Danchall, Rap, Soul or even Psychedelic Rock,
is advanced enough to always shine through the inflationary characteristic of the genre as
notably original. That applies to both, his productions and his DJ-sets.
What Adam Port is laying his hands on might have its place within the parameters of House
and Techno, but it?s always more than that. It?s his style.

Adrian & Adrian, two guys from Zurich started off with music just like everyone
else by trying several instruments and scratching on grandfather’s turntable,
nothing special about that. Both were born in the mid 80’s when the techno
and house community was rising to the top.   
 
90’s dance, hip-hop & house stuff influenced one of them. The other half was
more into melodic sounds and Europe based techno. On the road as solo
artists they met in 2008, found mutual connection with their interpretations and
became dj & production partners.   
 
Harmony between Dj-ing, performance and immediate contact with the people
makes a good to a "better" dj. The self-proclaimed brothers have a sensible
feeling for the Clubheads, dance-a-holics and all the others, for which "music"
means attitude not just a word. They love to mix up different styles to make
their sets intensive, diversified and unique. Almost poetic, comparable with an
exciting story.  
 
Their first Release on OFF Recordings got immediately strong feedbacks from
Toni Rios, Reboot, Ray Okpara, Brother’s Vibe & many more.  
 
Adriatique are also featured on the highly anticipated second Release from
Diynamic’s Sublabel 2DIY4. Their groovy new- interpretation from Feist –
Honey, Honey is considered as one of the summer tracks 2011.  
This was their kick-off to be also part of 2DIY4’s motherlabel Diynamic Music.  
 
In addition to their musical-work & busy club-schedule Adriatique have their
monthly based event series „Moving Around Us“ in Zurich which has grown to
a meeting point for international guests, local talent, music & art.
