The name Wolfgang is synonymous with greatness. Name your baby Wolfgang, and he may grow up to be one of the world's leading chefs, or a member of a seminal band like Kraftwerk or Van Halen. In keeping with that tradition, in less than three years the producer and DJ known as Wolfgang Gartner has gone from strength to strength, with eight #1 tracks on Beatport (including the site's best-selling track of 2009) and remixes for A-list artists (Black Eyed Peas, Timbaland, Britney Spears), all lauded by peers such as David Guetta, Tïesto, and Pete Tong.
Like another famous Wolfgang, Gartner started his artistic experiments at a very young age. As a little boy growing up in California he studied piano, playing both classical and jazz. But it was during a family trip to Tanzania when he was 11 years old that Gartner was turned on to dance music, in the form of a mix tape that featured Kevin Saunderson's 1988 crossover techno hit "Good Life." "I heard that track and it completely changed the chemical structure of my brain." Back home in America, he began making his own forays into the field, producing original tracks on drum machines and keyboards while other kids were off at soccer practice or watching cartoons.
As he moves forward, Gartner doesn't want to just advance his art form - he also wants to put a fresh twist on Top 40 fare. "I definitely want to work with pop and rap artists as a producer." So long as his identity and integrity remain intact: "I want to make what I like making, and if a rapper can rap on it, then great." With numerous new projects in the pipeline, he still appreciates the distinction between world domination and overexposure. "I'm definitely about quality over quantity," he concludes. With Wolfgang Gartner, only one thing is certain: his next move is always a surprise.

Billie proudly presents her first single ‘Give Me The Knife’
Billie burst onto the scene in 2012, when she wrote the lyrics and vocals to Netsky’s Puppy, turning the instrumental banger into the anthem We Can Only Live Today, one of Netsky’s biggest hits to date. Billie also joined Netsky’s live band on a never ending world tour, and kept on working on new music for her solo project behind the scenes.
Billie’s first single Give Me The Knife is an eighties flavoured electro-pop gem she wrote with Goose producer and drummer Bert Libeert. Straddling the line between immaculate pop perfection and indie cred isn’t always easy, but Billie handily manages to do so.
The stunning video comes from the gifted young photographer and director Athos Burez.")
