Sam Sparacio is a renowned Dj-producer and remixer who was born in Hanau – Germany, with Italian heritage. He began his career in the early 90s in Palermo, Italy, where he quickly established himself as a prominent figure in the “house scene made in Sicily.” In 2009 he moved from the south to Milan, were he was co-founder of the Academy club, a resident of the “Unconventional Party,” and became the label manager of Gasoline Records in 2011. Sam performed at the finest clubs around Italy and at various music festivals and Gasoline Records showcases in European cities such as Berlin, Madrid, and Barcelona.
AnVetta is a Ukraine-born DJ and producer who started performing in her native Lviv in 2007, as resident of Fashion Club. It wasn’t long before she broke out into touring all around Ukraine, playing the festival and club circuit until 2014 when she was invited to live and take multiple residencies in the burgeoning Chinese club scene, performing at JJ Club Sanya City (Hainan), Circle Club (Beijing), Light Club (Shangai), Leo (Suzhou), Hy Club (Wenzhou), Hepburn (Guangzhou) and many more. Soon, AnVetta found herself one of the most in-demand DJs at top brands such as Mercedes, Lamborghini, and Lexus, as well as tour DJ for Heineken and Corona.
Vivienne’s signature styles encompass Techno, Hard Techno, and Melodic Techno, characterised by dark, high tempo energy injected into all her sets. She’s becoming known for her in-your-face attitude in her sound, bringing this aggression and excitement to every performance. She draws inspiration from artists such as Richie Hawtin, Joris Voorn, Nina Kravitz, DJ Rush, Ki/Ki, SPFDJ, Anetha and Daria Kolosova and draws parallels from each artist. Fueled by her relentless dedication, she now fervently advocates for Music Festival Culture, Techno, and Shuffle Dance, aiming to immerse Taiwan and Cambodia in the vibrant sounds she holds dear.
It was in 2018 when Fin first thought about mixing music. Always a lover of eclectic sounds, it was living in Shanghai when he first experienced the draw of a record store – yet still, despite being a regular on the dancefloor, electronic music, specifically, was not on his mind. This initial interaction, deep dives into Jazz and Hip Hop, trying to see if they work together, this laid the foundation for Fin’s blended electronic affair. Soon after moving to Cambodia and launching Egg Baguette, a techno orientated night in Siem Reap, the move to Phnom Penh was made.
