Arabian Prince aka Professor X
Arabian Prince is one of the most important figures in the history of electro music. Apart from being one of the founder members of the legendary hip hop group N.W.A Arabian Prince worked on an incredible amount of LA electro projects including Professor X and the X-Men and was (with Egyptian Lover) one of the biggest DJs of the scene in the 1980s. With the rediscovery of electro in the late 1990s Arabian Prince has come to be hailed as one of the genre's greatest exponents and has since returned with a blistering live show and a compilation album on Stones Throw.
The Hacker
The Hacker (real name Michel Amato) is without doubt one of France's greatest ever electro/techno producers and has had a stellar career since his emergence in the mid-1990s with a string of classic releases on the now defunct Good Life label. Gaining widespread international fame for his work with Miss Kittin he was credited as one of the originators of the electroclash movement in the early 00s. Since then he’s had a string of releases on labels like Turbo and Minimal Rome and is back in solo mode with his productions and DJ sets, renowned across the world for his ability to devastate any dancefloor he encounters.
The Hasbeens AKA (Alden Tyrell and DJ Overdose)
The Hasbeens are Alden Tyrell and DJ Overdose, two legends of Dutch electro music in their own right who decided to form a band together. Both coming from I-f's legendary Viewlexx label, Tyrell has been one of the hottest electro producers in Europe ever since his first record, the cult classic 'Love Explosion'. With Overdose widely known as one of the best electro DJs in Holland for many years and a string of classic EPs such as 'Trust Me' and '2012' they made a considerable impact with their joint productions as The Hasbeens. At Magic Waves they'll be appearing as Hasbeen vs Hasbeen for a very special live set incorporating all their solo classics as well as tracks joint tracks as The Hasbeens.
TLR & Rude66
Two of Creme Organisation's greatest talents: TLR was the founder of the label and has been one of Holland's best regarded underground DJs ever since the mid-1990s. Playing a wide range of classic sounds he was one of the first DJs to revive both Electro and Italo Disco music in his mixes and since then he has fearlessly spearheaded the resurgence in interest in Chicago house via the distinctively excellent release roster that he developed with Creme. One of the finest producers to find a home at Creme was Rude66 who has become the stuff of legend in the global electro community for his hard-rocking live sets and groundbreaking releases. With a career history stretching back to the acid glory days of Bunker Records and Djax-Up-Beats he recently sealed his reputation as one of the most formidable and innovative producers in electro music today with the release of his 'Sadistic Tendencies' album on Creme. With TLR playing a DJ set and Rude66 performing live we're very happy to present an ideal Creme combination!
