At the age of 14, he worked in a Club behind the bar as one of the DJs falls ill and André gets the chance to fill in behind the decks, an experience that was to change the course of his life... In the beginning of the nineties he has become a regular in a variety of clubs. In 1994 he started to work for the renowned record distributor Neuton, where he meets Paul Brtschitsch. In 1995, André and Paul found the label TAKSI. Shortly after receiving a residency in Berlins famous TRESOR in 1996, André moved to the German capital. By now, he has become quite famous for his intoxicating 10 hour sets; he plays all around the globe and has another residency in Berlin´s BERGHAIN / PANORAMABAR. However arduous his working schedule may be, there is still time for creativity. In 2011 André and Dana Ruh found the Label ARAS, not only to release their own musical vibes, but to give way to unheard-of talents and productions. ARAS takes its name from the brilliantly colored macaw parrot, and as a virtual proof stands for a multichromatic style that the label uses for its creative output.

Hailing from New York, he was seduced by techno music when Jeff Mills held a residency (as well as his own first) at the Limelight in the early 90s. Dave started to produce music and from the mid-90s onwards, put out music on Damon Wild's Synewave and his own Infrastructure imprint. Together with Regis (Karl O'Connor) he worked as Portion Reform, putting out uncompromising music on Downwards and becoming the only non-Birmingham producer to release on the label. In 2008 Dave moved to Berlin, still working with Regis, and now Silent Servant (John Mendez), put his focus on the acclaimed Sandwell District imprint. Since, the label, now come collective, has skyrocketed into cult status. Decentralizing the artist ego, Sandwell District has blurred the lines between the artist, label and dj, re-arranging the DNA of modern dance music. Silent Servant is a producer responsible for some of the most eclectic and innovative techno to have emerged in recent years. Part of an exhilarant creative resurgence in the genre, he is also the newest talent in the Sandwell District line-up. Along with Regis and Female, of the legendary English Downwards imprint, and NYC underground legend Function, Silent Servant has not only founded a new, contemporary sound, but also the support needed for the basis of a highly conceptual and uncompromising new label rooted in experimentalism and a semi-industrial aesthetic.

The releases are placed somewhere within the field of experimental house and techno but there doesn’t seem to be any identifiable logic to the distinctive output. That is, unless you dig a little deeper and examine the aural and visual aesthetic with discerning eyes and ears, which is when you’ll discover that the labels founding fathers have very set ideas on how they want to go about the business of putting out music. Since its inception, the Tartelet crew has been on an ambitious, idealistic mission to put out the freshest, strangest and most remarkable new electronic music while paying meticulous attention to its visual communication. This is why every record on the young Danish label marks a new chapter in terms of both music and cover art.
