The charismatic and hugely talented producer made his first mark in 2005 with contributions to <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/mobilee_records">Mobilee</a> and Statik sublabel <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/Instabil">Instabil</a>. He became an integral member of the Moon Harbour crew, co-producing the 2006 club hit '<a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Matthias_Tanzmann/maxi/Basic_Needs/59116">Basic Needs</a>' together with Matthias Tanzmann, before the label's dogma of functionality became too limiting for his versatile creative output. <br><br> Recent releases for Statik, like the '<a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Daniel_Stefanik/album/Reactivity/80168">Reactivity</a>' album and '<a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Daniel_Stefanik/maxi/Transmediale/182241">Transmediale</a>' single showcase his deep and experimental side, but Stefanik isn't neglecting his floor-filling potential either: On the contrary, his recent '<a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Daniel_Stefanik/maxi/In_Days_Of_Old_Pt.1/132404">In Days Of Old Pt.1</a>' for <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/Kann_Records">Kann Records</a> and his '<a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Daniel_Stefanik/maxi/Nocturnal/221155">Nocturnal</a>' EP for techno institution <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/Cocoon_Recordings">Cocoon</a> show him to be at the top of his game. <br><br> Our second guest is <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Kassem_Mosse">Kassem Mosse</a>, who has accomplished the feat of creating a buzz stretching from the underground dubstep scene to the international deep house community. For the past five years the Leipzig-based producer has accustomed us to his idiosyncratic lo-fi sound, which touches on raw and analogue techno, slow-motion house, as well as on diverse and abstract broken beat styles. His productions have appeared via his own <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/Mikrodisko">Mikrodisco</a> label, the cultishly revered <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/Workshop">Workshop</a> imprint, Italy's <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/Kinda_Soul_Recordings">Kinda Soul Recordings</A>, and Dial's vinyl only sublabel, Laid. <br><br> Most recently Kassem Mosse's music has received attention from an unexpected side: London's freestyle dubsteppers Instra:mental released his '<a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Kassem_Mosse/maxi/We_Speak_To_Those-Hi_Res/175509">We Speak To Those / Hi Res</A>' on their acclaimed <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/Nonplus_Records">Nonplus</A> imprint, and he's further been asked to remix Commix's drum'n bass classic, '<a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Commix/track/Strictly_(Kassem_Mosse_Need_To_Feel_Edit_Remoix)/188597">Strictly</a>' for Metalheadz. His new '<a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Kassem_Mosse/maxi/Workshop_12/229762">Workshop 12</a>' EP once again ranks among our favourites, and he has further just remixed Ellen Allien's '<a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Ellen_Allien/track/Our_Utopie_(Kassem_Mosse_Remix)/231126">Our Utopie</a>' for BPitch Control.<br><br> <table border="0"> <tr> <td valign="top"> <div style="border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 1px;"> <img border="0" width="49" height="49" src="http://www.zero-inch.com/cmaImages/1277214874000/16555/image.JPG"> </div> </td> <td>The zero" City Focus podcasts are created by Sebastian Schlachter-Delgado, one of Austria's best known music radio journalists and one of the people behind FM4's popular Friday night electronic music show 'La Boum Deluxe'.

The label's initial focus on deep house music gradually expanded to include contemporary tech-house by artists like Luna City Express, Martinez, and Seuil. <br><br> <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/Jahtari">Jahtari</a> is another popular imprint, crossing over chiptunes, dub and ragga styles from a network of international contributors coordinated by Werk Disks artist <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Disrupt">Disrupt</a>. <br><br> The diversity doesn't stop here however: Eclectic new wave disco sounds can be found in the productions of <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Good_Guy_Mikesh">Good Guy Mikesh</a> <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Filburt">& Filburt</a>, the latter also running local record store Freezone. <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Map.ache">Map.ache</a> and <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Bender+Sevensol">Bender & Sevensol</a> have recently started their excellent deep techno imprint <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/Kann_Records">Kann Records</A>, and artists such as <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Marko_Fuerstenberg">Marko Fürstenberg</a>, <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Douglas_Greed">Douglas Greed</a>, <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Sven_Tasnadi">Sven Tasnadi</a> and <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Juno6">Juno6</a> have likewise made a name for themselves with distinct takes on underground techno and house. http://www.zero-inch.com/blog/18419http://static.zero-inch.com/podcasts-download/zero_inch_podcast_035_CityFocus_Leipzig.m4a http://feed.zero-inch.com/~r/zero-inch/podcast/~3/Y8DSXX_r7lc/18252 <div><div><a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/blog/18252"><img src="http://www.zero-inch.com/activityMedia/image_18252_container_20842_image.JPG" border="0" hspace="3" vspace="2" align="left"/></a>Chances are you've seen <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/G.Rizo">G.Rizo</A> on stage on Patrick Pulsinger's recent album tour, behind the decks at her own <i>Art Klub</i>, or starring in performances by US artist Jen Ray. <br><br> For the past few years G.Rizo has been busy making waves across the music and art scenes, editing New York's Repellent magazine, releasing on DJ Hell's <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/International_Deejay_Gigolo_Records">Gigolo</A> imprint, and working with musicians like <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/In_Flagranti">In Flagranti</a>, <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Snax">Snax</A>, and <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Jimmy_Edgar">Jimmy Edgar</a>. <br><br> Most recently the multi-talented singer, DJ, and producer has embarked on yet another new venture: Setting up her own label, <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/Hezekina_Pollutina">Hezekina Pollutina</a>. <br><br> First releases on the label have seen G.Rizo team up with long-standing collaborator Sasha Crnobrnja of In Flagranti, with remixes coming from West Coast electro legend <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/The_Egyptian_Lover">Egyptian Lover</a> and Parisian new-rave producer <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Dinamics">Dinamics</a>.

Taub has been pursuing his eclectic sounds for a solid decade now, both as a DJ and as a producer. <br><br> Ten years ago Ulysses gave us a first taste of his talent with his 'Tribalismo' EP on Gary Martin's idiosyncratic Detroit techno imprint Teknotika. Since then he has been spreading his productions far and wide - from his '<a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Ulysses/maxi/Aviator_Sunglasses_EP/224872">Aviator Sunglasses EP</a>' for Savas Pascalidis' <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/Lasergun">Lasergun</a> imprint to releases on legendary Chicago house label Guidance, Cologne's <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/My_Best_Friend-MBF">My Best Friend</a>, and of course Ulysses' own imprint, <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/Scatalogics_Records">Scatalogics</a>. <br><br> On paper such a choice of labels might seem haphazard, but Ulysses' productions have managed to maintain a unique musical handwriting despite their stylistic versatility. Elliot Taub's main point of reference is certainly early house music, but he also draws inspirations from various other musical genres and eras - disco, techno, electro, as well as New York's new wave and no wave scenes of the 1980s - all of which he distills into energetic tracks that combine dancefloor appeal and pop music finesse. <br><br> If anything, Ulysses' sound has become even more eclectic lately.

Taub has been pursuing his eclectic sounds for a solid decade now, both as a DJ and as a producer. <br><br> Ten years ago Ulysses gave us a first taste of his talent with his 'Tribalismo' EP on Gary Martin's idiosyncratic Detroit techno imprint Teknotika. Since then he has been spreading his productions far and wide - from his '<a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Ulysses/maxi/Aviator_Sunglasses_EP/224872">Aviator Sunglasses EP</a>' for Savas Pascalidis' <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/Lasergun">Lasergun</a> imprint to releases on legendary Chicago house label Guidance, Cologne's <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/My_Best_Friend-MBF">My Best Friend</a>, and of course Ulysses' own imprint, <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/Scatalogics_Records">Scatalogics</a>. <br><br> On paper such a choice of labels might seem haphazard, but Ulysses' productions have managed to maintain a unique musical handwriting despite their stylistic versatility. Elliot Taub's main point of reference is certainly early house music, but he also draws inspirations from various other musical genres and eras - disco, techno, electro, as well as New York's new wave and no wave scenes of the 1980s - all of which he distills into energetic tracks that combine dancefloor appeal and pop music finesse. <br><br> If anything, Ulysses' sound has become even more eclectic lately. His '<a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Ulysses/maxi/Gibson_in_E-Love_Hangover/197238">Gibson in E / Love Hangover</a>' single on <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/Internasjonal">Internasjonal</a> from late last year surprised us with two slow motion cosmic disco epics.

Most recently Tectonic has been paying homage to dubstep's Jamaican roots with its '<a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/search?searchText=Scientist Launches Dubstep Into Outer Space&fuzzy=true">Scientist Launches Dubstep Into Outer Space</a>' project, a collection of dubstep tracks remixed by legendary Jamaican dub producer <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Scientist">Scientist</a>. <br><br> Tony Williams a.k.a. <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Headhunter">Headhunter</a> has been putting his name on the dubstep map with similar proficiency. His deep and complex production style landed him a deal with London's iconic dubstep label <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/Tempa">Tempa</a>, which released his acclaimed debut full-length '<a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Headhunter/album/Nomad/96452">Nomad</a>' in 2008. <br><br> A close connection to Berlin's <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Modeselektor">Modeselektor</a> led to an exchange of remixes, with Headhunter remixing Moderat's '<a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Moderat/track/A_New_Error_(Headhunter_Remix)/171783">A New Error</A>' for <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/50_Weapons">50 Weapons</A> and Modeselektor contributing a version of his '<a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Headhunter/maxi/Prototype_(Modeselektors_Broken_Handbrake_Remix)-Sex_At_The_Prom/120899">Prototype</A>' to Tempa, which was backed by '<a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Headhunter/track/Sex_At_The_Prom/120898">Sex At The Prom</a>', probably Headhunter's biggest hit to date.

Despite having been one of the first tracks Ali Jackson had recorded, 'Temple Ball' perfectly highlighted Jackson's unique take on dubstep, juxtaposing percussive subbass breaks with oriental orchestras that could have well served as the soundtrack to a Hong Kong kung-fu flick. <br><br> Gravious' subsequent '<a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Gravious/ep/Futurist_EP/216741">Futurist EP</a>' for <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/Highpoint_Lowlife_Records">Highpoint Lowlife</a> further refined his musical approach. Detroit-style pads and funked-up synth chords lent tracks like '<a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Gravious/track/Jupiter_Jazz/216738">Jupiter Jazz</a>' and '<a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Gravious/track/World_of_Tomorrow/216740">World Of Tomorrow</a>' an airy, almost weightless feel.

Despite having been one of the first tracks Ali Jackson had recorded, 'Temple Ball' perfectly highlighted Jackson's unique take on dubstep, juxtaposing percussive subbass breaks with oriental orchestras that could have well served as the soundtrack to a Hong Kong kung-fu flick. <br><br> Gravious' subsequent '<a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Gravious/ep/Futurist_EP/216741">Futurist EP</a>' for <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/Highpoint_Lowlife_Records">Highpoint Lowlife</a> further refined his musical approach.

From the early 1990s on McMilan and partner Orde Meikle paved the way for the local electronic music revolution, by starting their own label, <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/Soma">Soma Quality Recordings</a>, hosting their own club nights at Glasgow's famous Sub Club, and of course with their highly prolific production work, recently appearing mostly on their newly founded imprint, <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/Paragraph">Paragraph</a>. <BR><BR> Another driving force in Glasgow's scene is <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Optimo">Optimo</a>, the DJ and production unit of JD Twitch and Jonnie Wilkes. For the past 12 years the duo has been pioneering the open-minded mash-up of dance music styles with their weekly club nights, their edit and remix work, and their insanely popular DJ mixes. JD Twitch has further launched his own <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/Optimo_Music">Optimo Music</a> imprint recently, which is just as eclectic, releasing neo-disco by New York's Den Haan next to re-issues of classic works by Trobbing Gristle's Chris Carter.<BR><BR> Our final guest is Jack Revill a.k.a. Jackmaster, representing Glasgow's latest wave of electronic music artists. Revill started to work in Glasgow's well known Rubadub record store when he was just 14 and launched his first label <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/label/Point.One_Recordings">Point.One Recordings</a> in 2005 with classic electro by artists like Gosub and Voltaic (a.k.a. <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Martin_Patton">Martin Patton</a> and <a href="http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Rustie">Rustie</a>).
