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:

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 đ 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…

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.

——————-
Demi:
Demi has been lighting up dance floors worldwide for the better part of the last decade. Whether heâs performing at the biggest global festivals, opening up for some of the planetâs most influential DJs or headlining marathon sets deep in the caverns of the underground, or globetrotting with fellow rogue sonic warriors Omid 16B & Desyn Masiello under their SOS guise, the desire to create a positively sonic experience has kept his fire burning more than any award, nomination or adulation that has come his way over the years.
He is the man behind the infamous Deeper Substance & Substantially Deeper parties (2001-2004) that exposed his savvy work as a promoter; bringing talent from across the globe to some of London’s intimate underground venues. Heâs also had much publicized performances with Danny Tenaglia in NYC, Miami and London, along with influential gigs touring with Pete Tong and performing with Laurent Garnier at Pacha, Ibiza.
Looking to further his career as a producer, Demi started Deeper Substance Records and a succession of releases between 2005-2007 caught the attention of his piers and featured on various high profile label compilations. Wary of not wanting to flood the market with ‘flavours of the month’, his studio output has been a slow and deliberate process of developing and evolving both a technique and vision of his mind and soul.
The last few years have seen Demi focus on the SOS Collective. In it’s current format consisting of Omid16B & Demi – locked tight to a positive feedback loop, their self-religion over the years has been inspiring to all, as anybody who experienced their live shows will testify. From their infamous boat parties in London & Ibiza to sellout WMC marathon sessions in Miami, along with a 3hr Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1 (a first since its inception) to add to their acclaimed triple disc opus mix for Balance on EQ Recordings in 2008. This timeless piece demonstrated musical synergy at its force, and forever etched its mark on dance music’s legacy.
Their energy-fuelled quarterly residency held at Ministry of Sound in London since 2007 inspired SOS to embark on their follow-up project which featured one mix recorded live at the venue whilst the second CD showcased brand new productions and unreleased remix material from SOS. Their sonic blueprint was previewed to the world in February 2010 on a double-CD compilation for Ministry Of Sound. The album saw critical acclaim from the music press and was named âCompilation of the Monthâ in both DJ Magazine and Tillate. DJ magazine were to give the trio the prestigious front cover feature in their 2010 New Year issue.
At present, Demi is channeling all his love and devotion towards the original productions of a debut SOS album for a sonic assault on the masses in 2011 as well as further sonic experimentations and guilty pleasures of his own.
Sponsored and armed by industry giants such as Pioneer, Ableton, Roland and Native Instruments, expect to hear what you need, not necessarily what you expect.
MYKE’S HAUNTED HALLOWEEN HAPPENING
TO CELEBRATE WILL”S 30TH
Get this one in the diary. We’ve got lasers, pumping sound, visuals, lights and all things spooky to make this one party you won’t forget.
Entertainment for the night consists of a selection of local DJs + special guest OMID 16B.
——
Omid16B lives for music. Cutting edge dance music is like oxygen for Omid Nourizadeh. A DJ, producer and label owner of Alola, Disclosure and SexOnWax Recordings, heâs spreading his passion worldwide.
Fans range from Sasha to Tenaglia, François K to Morales and from Digweed to Danny Howells. Equally important to Omid are his fans on the dance floor. And he turns them on with superb sets that twist and turn from sexy tribal house through to dark, emotive techno – each set morphing to bring out the best in the crowd.
Of Persian roots, Omidâs family immigrated to London when he was just one-year-old. His artistic flair and musical ear developed at an early age – as did his ambition. Influenced by Hendrix, The Cure, Depeche Mode and The Mission, he started playing the guitar at 14, learned how to play drums and bass guitar at 15 and formed his own band when he was 17. Already Omidâs tastes were becoming âmore dance than rock, more loops than words, less songs more toonsâ.
Omid laid the foundations for his own career path and set up Alola Records in 1994. Under his ORN moniker, his stunning âSnowâ track was picked up by BMG Deconstruction and Omidâs production talents were snapped up by Eye Q, signing his debut album âSounds From Another Roomâ (1998). This album was met with critical acclaim and spawned the hit single âWater Rideâ. Another album followed as $16 Million Dollar Man on Under The Counter before âHow To Live 100 Yearsâ in 2002 on the respected Hooj Choons label and not to forget a mix compilation for his own label Alola âEverything all of them every yearâ (2002).
The singles came thick and fast- but quality has always been the name of the game. To date, Omid has remixed great artists from The Cure, Gus Gus, Danny Howells and Halo Varga, Morel, François Kervorkian and Pete Moss. But once again itâs Omidâs skills that come to the fore.
âSome DJs and producers have their finger on the pulse – Omid16B is the pulse. Music runs through his veins.â Lesley Wright, Editor, DJmag
An organic come together of the labels SexOnWax and Deeper Substance Records means that a new name in the club scene was born: SOS (SexOnSubstance). A concept for good and quality music, together with friends Demi and Desyn Masiello they are conquering the world, starting with their London boat parties and Ibiza residencies, and not to forget their excellent 3 hour SOS – Essential Mixes on BBC radio 1.

WILL KONITZER: Will Konitzer is an emerging talent from London. With his unique take on melodic, deep, progressive, tech house, he was quick to be picked up to play at many of London’s venues such as Turnmills, Ministry of Sound, the White House, plus numerous other UK appearances. Will learnt to rock a dance floor running “Coordinated”, a respected deep, progressive, tech house night that broke new talent and kept a great crowd. He was lucky enough to share the decks with Anil Chawla, Mark Sun, Jim Rivers, John Taylor, and Dave Seaman amongst others. In 2008, Will moved to Texas where heâs built up a solid reputation with the local promoters, establishing himself as an interesting new addition to the American EDM scene. The move has also given him time to concentrate on his burgeoning production skills, which are beginning to flourish.
GEORGE HORN: A new face to the Austin EDM scene since Febuary of last year, George is sure to get you involved in the music. He has been DJing for over 10 years, and is known for playing some of the best in Todays Deep House/Tech House Grooves. As a producer, since the middle of last year, George has remixed for some of the worlds leading Deep House record labels like: Deepology/Aquamarine, Glideslope, Open Bar, Guess, and Witty Tunes alongside artists such as Richard Earnshaw, Florian Kruse, Adam Byrd, Art Patrice, Satoshi Fumi, Da Funk, and Fabien Kamb.
