Omid 16B is a true artist but also a DJ/ producer of the highest caliber and owner/ founder of Sexonwax Recordings and the recently resurrected Alola Records. His artistic approach to everything he’s touched has so far seen a prolific 15 years and is getting from strength to strength. His artist album “Sounds From Another Room” on “Eye Q Recordings”, through to his mix compilations like “Balance 13” on Stomp Australia or “In House We Trust” on Yoshitoshi have lead to critical acclaim as his singles which have been signed on to major labels like BMG/ Deconstruction just to name a few. Sponsored by industry giants such as Pioneer, Ableton, Roland and Native Instruments Omid has been hailed as one of the most cutting edge artists coming out of the UK in the past decade. His remixes have ranged from artists such as The Cure to Gus Gus, to François Kevorkian to Deep Dish and Depeche Mode amongst many others.

An artist truly in ascendance, Omid 16B had a crazy 2011. Following the release of the double-A-side ‘Rain/ Passion of Zorro’ on John Digweed’s Bedrock stable, Omid has been touring furiously. From Carl Craig’s Planet E stage at Snowbombing, through to DJmag’s 20th anniversary show at Space Ibiza to the MTV festival in Croatia, a plauded London SW4 main stage, Bestival and the Space closing parties in Ibiza, Omid has not let up.

Currently Omid is finishing the last stages of his new artist album to be released in 2012. This will be documented by the BBC who are currently making a film about DJ’s with a different background based in London and Omid 16B will play a major part in allowing the world to get an insight to his everyday life as a DJ.

Omid is not a new face to Austin – he came here 16 months ago and completely rocked the pants off Halloween. We’re extremely lucky to have him back for a truly underground party on the fringe of SXSW 2012. Invite your friends and start spreading the word.

Will Konitzer – Nothing At All [Out Now]

One of my tracks “Nothing At All“, is included on the Houseology Vol.1 compilation from Crystallight Records. It’s a deep house number with a bouncy groove, some luscious pads and a dreamy vocal. Highly recommended for chilling out to at the end of this Indian summer. The compilation also features another seven great tracks from the label, so please go and check it out. The whole release is exclusive to Beatport.

RealMusic Events continues to advance the dance scene in Austin. Through the production of quality shows with quality artists, in particular their month-long string of events dubbed MAYhem, they are delivering top-notch artists from around the world to Austin’s top venues. Much of the talent has never been to Austin or the entire state of Texas ever before, so needless to say they are making waves in the 512. One of the next big events that they have coming up is on Sunday, May 29th, when RealMusic Events presents the world-renowned progressive house DJ Thomas Gold!

Thomas Gold is a regular at many of the world’s best venues, having circumnavigated the planet with rousing appearances throughout Asia, Australia, Europe, Middle East and North and South America. In three short years he has built an impressive (and award-winning) back catalogue. DJ Mag named him the Breakthrough DJ / Producer of 2010, and Beatport nominated him for ‘Best Progressive House artist’ in 2009. He also went won an award for ‘Best Progressive House Track’ for his remix of Delerium’s “Silence.” On top of his original solo releases, he has done remix work for some of the heaviest hitters in the global dance scene, working with names such as David Guetta, Fergie feat. LMFAO, David Tort and Paul van Dyk.

Joining in the fun at Light Bar this Sunday will be eye-catching, head-turning, jaw-dropping group of dancing vixens known as The GoGo Gadgettes. They have danced for many acclaimed artists and DJs such as The Black Eyed Peas, P. Diddy, Armin van Buuren, Benny Benassi and Rusko. Getting the party started will be local resident DJ/Producer Andrew Parsons, and the San Antonio-based DJ Shwann, who was a recent performer at Nocturnal Festival.

I’m playing 10pm-11.30pm.

Love you all

Our focus is to release thoughtful and emotive dance music, bringing together sounds from all over the House music spectrum, yet emphasizing music with an innovative and inspirational touch in order to depart from the often stale and monotonous world of commercialism and mainstream dance music. Cromarti Records is a vision created by House Music enthusiasts and label managers Abraham Garza, Andres Aguirre, and George Horn that also consists of Will Konitzer and Julio Lacayo. Cromarti has, thus far, gained support from the likes of:

Hernan Cattaneo, Jody Wisternoff, Lovebirds, Tom Morgan, The Timewriter, Matthias Vogt, Gorge, Nomad In The Dark, Richard Earnshaw (Spiritchaser), Gabriel Sordo, Hisham Zahran, Evren Ulusoy, The Disclosure Project, Jon Silva, Pablo Fierro, Soul Minority, Sebastian Davidson, Add2Basket, and Ricky Ryan to name a few…

We currently have original productions and remixes from worldwide artists such as:

Evren Ulusoy, Claes Rosen, Ricky Inch, Roland Nights, Lopatyn, Sachrias & Aslak, Disclosure Project, Pablo Fierro, Adham & Hisham Zahran, Da Funk, Elastic Sound, Surrealism, Dana Bergquist & Peder G, Latenta Project, Ross Couch, Seb Dhajje, Jevne, Artie Flexs, Manwoman, Kyka, Third Floor Tiger, Daniel Martinez, Memo Insua, HouseRiders, Moskardi, Hernan Cerbello, Andres Aguirre, El Catrin, and George Horn

We hope you will join us on a Sunday evening, before the hectic work week, to sample the grooves we wish to keep providing for Electronic Music fans in Austin and all over the globe. Each hour we’ll be giving away FREE CDs with some of Cromarti Records best tunes to date! We will also be handing out some of our shirts for free as well, unfortunately we only have a few left and hope you can fit into a Medium 😛 Since we are kinda low on the tees, we’ll also raffle off two $10 Beatport giftcodes that you will receive from either us via email which will allow you to purchase some new beats from the port of beats that is beatport…

DJ Sets by:

George Horn (Cromarti Records, Aqaumarine, Cabrio, Acryl Music)

Rey Aguilar (Cromarti Records, Fade Records, Pet Food)
As one of Cromarti’s artists to be featured on the label, Rey Aguilar will be joining us from McAllen TX where he has been one of the leading promoters of House Music for quite a few years. Rey has also become a favorite of Mr. Chris Fortier himself for his label Fade Records, and has been releasing a number of Rey’s originals and remixes.

+ Showcase: EL CATRIN (Cromarti Records, Nightbird, Grouper)

Julio has recently had an EP released to Sebastian Davidson’s NIGHTBIRD label, signed to GROUPER RECORDINGS, and soon Austin’s very own CROMARTI RECORDS.
