electric Xchange is a night devoted to high quality progressive electronic music on a non-pretentious base: Love for Dance Music. Each edition a different International Line-up of DJ’s and Live Acts will be invited to Xchange the unique sound from Berlin, the city of beats, with the Amsterdam underground dance sound.

Artlaunch invites DJ’s to share and exchange their love for Dance Music. We specially combine DJ’s and Live Acts who love to play together and in some cases never had the chance to do so before. Back to back sets will be one of the many ways we will make this night an unique Xchange.

Around midnight the backroom of Studio 80 opens up for another editon of our ArtLaunch DJ Cafe.

This 2nd edition of electric Xchange at Studio 80 takes place on Thursday December 14th and features Matthew Styles (Crosstown Rebels, London) and Prosumer (Panoramabar, Berlin / Playhouse Records).

As label manager at Crosstown Rebels, Matthew Styles has up till now been the secret weapon in the Rebels DJ team armory. After receiving critical acclaim for the See You @ The Party CD on Music For Freaks, Matthew has created a buzz and a great deal of love for his exceptional DJ sets at some of the world's coolest clubs, particularly the Panorama Bar and Watergate in Berlin, Pulp in Paris and Fabric in London. Matthew is a DJ and producer on the rise.

Matthew Styles runs Crosstown Rebels, London’s finest electro/techno/house imprint, with Damian Lazarus, and has thus been responsible for putting out all manner of classic tracks and versions from the likes of Kiki & Silversurfer, Hiem, Mish Mash, Konrad Black, Mathew Jonson, Frankie Flowerz, Alex Smoke, Black Strobe, Holden and Pier Bucci’s Familia LP.

Prosumer aka Achim Brandenburg lives in Berlin, where he has been producing music since 2000. He is a resident DJ at the Panoramabar and recently played the Fabric in London.

The word Prosumer describes people who are not only consumers but at the same time also producers of the item used by them. And if you’re into old school Chicago house than he's the one for you! Laurent Garnier wrote about Prosumer’s “The Craze”: “It is what house music is all about, full proper emotions, stunning vocal and a real funky groove! It is absolutely awesome!”.

Prosumer's latest release is his remix of Sebo-K's “Moved”on Mobilee's Back to Back Remix Series Vol. 1 for which he also did the vocals.
