Luigi Gori came to the fore in early 2000 as one-half of the production outfit Presslaboys. Combining his background in electro, acid and progressive house with partner Omar Neris own interest in Detroit and german minimal techno, the pair forged their own sound, releasing records on a number of labels including crosstown rebels, baroque, stella and raw alongside establishing their own Presslab umbrella.
Tunisia-based Sin Tek entered the production realm as a technician at a local studio before a series of remix work brought him to the attention of gori and neri. Last year Presslab put out his >After the silence< EP, which was followed up by his Hotfingers debut >House is feeling< earlier this year.
In 2005 Poppcke moved to Berlin to study at the school of audio engineering, beginning to work with Daniel Solar shortly after as Solar & Poppcke. As a solo artist he has released on Freerange, Defected, Soma and Darkroom Dubs, playing in clubs such as Watergate and Bar 25 as well as internationally.
