Ten Walls, Maxim Lany and Kaiserr

Marijus Adomaitis' career has taken many different forms, but as TEN WALLS he's been more creative than ever. There's an idea that musical theory inhibits creativity in dance music, imposing rules in artists' minds where they need not exist. Sure, an experienced pianist might struggle to adopt the melodic restraint that techno requires, but it's a flimsy notion to apply wholesale, especially when you consider the work of someone like Marijus Adomaitis. Adomaitis grew up in Lithuania in a family of musicians, his father and brother both violinists. Adomaitis chose bassoon, and played throughout high school. Classical music and jazz were a constant in the house. He later attended music college, and wound up taking on what he describes as "projects," i.e. working as a producer for other artists. When Adomaitis eventually released his own music, it was his background as a musician that defined his club tracks. Ten Walls is probably the best manifestation of Adomaitis's past experiences. His arrangements are rich and full of instrumentation, and with tracks like "Gotham," "Walking With Elephants" and "Requiem," he realised the bassoon's unlikely dance floor potential. www.residentadvisor.net/features/2088 - www.facebook.com/TenWalls

MAXIM LANY is one of the great Belgian DJ’s, but has long since moved past the Belgian borders. Staying true to his roots, Maxim is still living and working in his beloved city of Ghent, where he made his first DJ sets with the records owned by mum and dad. Lany is famed for his tightly mixed adventurous sets, in which fat bangers and odd-ones out get an equal share. It’s his very own universally acclaimed sound, which not only made him a household name, but also led to starting his own label and having the creative freedom to do what he wants. That is the key here, because Maxim is at his best when he is completely unleashed. www.soundcloud.com/maximlany

KAISERR is the alter ego of Stephanie Keysers, a 26-year old, Antwerp-born DJ. Her first love for dreamy and floating electronic melodies started when she attended a gig headlined by Damian Lazarus. Music soon became an obsession and started to influence her daily pursuits. Recently picked up by the renowned Labyrinth Bookings Agency, she started to find her way around Belgium’s nightlife. With a residency at the Labyrinth Club in Hasselt as well as stints at Extrema Outdoor Belgium and WECANDANCE Festival, the future looks promising. www.facebook.com/kaiserrbelgium/
