When two exceptionally talented producers combine, one from England and one from Germany, it does not take a genius to guess what the results will be.

Spencer Parker is one of Europe's leading djs and his unique style of house music is in demand the world over and with his productions, remixes and re-edits being supported by names such as Radio Slave, Luciano, Dinky, Richie Hawtin, Steve Bug, Nic Fanciulli and Locodice, the future looks bright.

Spencer's musical style is simply described best as, underground house music. Preferred record labels range from the techno stylings of Planet E, Perlon, Underground Resistance, Rekids and Relief, through to the uber-cool house of Rush Hour, SOM, Tsuba and Playhouse. A "typical" set from Spencer could include everything from acid house and techno to some cool jackin' tracks and the odd trippy vocal. Now a resident of Berlin, Spencer has guested at all of the cities best clubs including Watergate, Bar 25, Arena, Wilde Renate and Weekend, as well as continuing his highly successful residency for the Rekids label, at the world famous Panorama Bar.

As well as playing regularly in his adopted home town, Spencer is in high demand worldwide, with recent visits alone including Russia, China, Japan, America, Australia, France, Italy, Sweden and the UK.

Spencer's production career began in 2005 and has since seen him release on respected labels such as Tsuba, Liebe*Detail, Saved, Crosstown Rebels, Nite Grooves, Area Remote, Word and Sound, Buzzin' Fly, King Street, Ovum and Rekids. Having been a big part of the Rekids label since its inception, in 2009 Spencer was also charged with mixing the labels first compilation entitled Rekids Revolution.

Ian Pooley hails from Mainz, near Frankfurt, in Germany, and has been bridging the gap between techno and house, creating superb tracks such as the massive 'Celtic Cross' and 'Chord Memory', as well as recording more housier and disco orientated workouts for labels such as John Acquaviva's Definitive Records, Effective Records and N.R.K Sound Division. Ian has also Remixed for Daft Punk, The Cardigans, The Beloved, Green Velvet and many more. By refusing to pigeonhole his sound, Pooley records have graced the record boxes of DJs as diverse as Dave Clarke, Justin Robertson, Dave Angel, Judge Jules and Terry Farley.

As you would expect, Ian Pooley as a DJ mixes up the latest dancefloor favourites, regardless of BPMs or origin. Cutting up disco house and Chicago trax, New York wild pitch and Detroit techno, Ian covers the whole musical spectrum in his sets, and can adapt to purist house clubs and techno nights alike. Ian has recently aired his DJ skills on the Radio 1 Essential Mix, and a new album called 'Meridian' (V2 Recordings) has received excellent reviews, as well as singles on NRK as well as a prestigious release on Derrick May's classic Transmat label.

After linking up for some time in the studio, the pair delivered their first killer 12” ‘Kinderteller / Jolesch’ on Ovum Records, following that up with a remix on Semester Musik. In 2011 Tsuba proudly released their ‘Feel the Same’ EP which was extremely well received with DJ support from Loco Dice, Sebo K, Jimpster, D’Julz, Luna City Express, Franck Roger, Matt Tolfrey, MANIK, James Teej, Brothers Vibe, among others.
