About the artists

Fumiya Tanaka

Fumiya Tanaka has been regarded as one of the legendary DJ/artists in Techno/House for over 25 years. He has been doing numerous projects such as his private label “Sundance” “TOREMA Records”and his recent works from “Perlon”,his famous party “CHAOS” (in Tokyo and Osaka). Through his long running career, he has been successfully expressing the possibilities of music. His unique style is focused on “minimal” house and techno, but through his play, he pulls out the beauty, the depth and the thickness of music and turns “minimal” into “maximum”. This is one of the reasons why he is still at the top.

Julian Alexander

His family tree stands in the steep jungle of Surinam, but Julian Alexander grew up in Slapfunk’s hometown Utrecht. With his brother DJ/producer Samuel Deep around, he already got the hang of producing when he was still a teenager. Influenced by jazz, hip hop and underground house and UK garage, the multi instrumentalist presents a solid and powerful sound. Where Julian’s muscular tracks bang the dance floor grapples gravity. At the moment Julian Alexander is focussing on the A&R for the SlapFunk Records label.
