Artist Info
Boris Werner
One of the most talented and sought after DJ's in Amsterdam.Famous for his enthusiasm behind the decks, his style varies from minimal sounds to more uplifting house and techno. When Boris started producing his own sounds, it became clear that this was one of his talents. Boris released his first track Matchmaker / Legeres in 2007, together with his friend and musical partner in crime Lauhaus. After its massive success, they released a second track called Revenge Of The Nerds (2008). These two successful releases drew a great deal of attention to Boris as a producer, and soon he was asked to make a remix of Keep On by Matthias Tanzman. The remix was highly supported by: Onur Özur, Mathias Kaden, 2000 and One, Tobi Neumann, Anja Schneider, Raresh and many more. In the mean time Boris was busy producing his No Day Like Monday (2x12) which was released in august 2008 and immediately sold out. It became a very popular track with artists like: Raresh, Karotte, Kabale und Liebe, Kiko, Magda, Kiki, Djulz, Dave Ellesmere, Dan Curtin and more. Boris is a skillful producer and an amazing dj. Born with an instinctive funkiness, he has the ability to move any crowd. With international bookings carrying him across the border the future is looking bright for Boris.

DJ Laura
Grew up with semi “hippie” parents and can’t help but be influenced by the genre…. probably the rockier side of it. She is a well known DJ in the dubstep scene, but she loves her dark techno/minimal tunes. She is making her entrance into the minimal/tech-house scene. 0(h)20 is proud to present DJ Laura, who will be sharing here minimal tech-house live set with us.

Bells & Whistles
Two kids in their early twenties coming up in a rapidly growing scene here in San Francisco. They've started their first monthly party call DRESSCODE, bringing house and techno talent from all over the world, to the top of the Sir Francis Drake Hotel, 21 floors up at Harry Denton's Starlight Room. They've played along side people like Claude VonStroke, Tim Green, Bruno Pronsato, Maetrik, Coalition Of The Killing, Clint Stewart, Alland Byallo, Franklin De Costa, and more. Gigs are starting to pop up more frequently now for these two young DJ's, like the Porker Flat 10 year anniversary party with Steve Bug and John Tejada @ the Mezzanine. Lately the Duo has been in the studio working on some tracks so be sure to keep an eye out for these two in 2010 .
ISTATIC
Pronounced [iz-stat-ik], is Johnny James Follis and Andrew Walker from San Diego. A well known San Diego DJ, just so happened to hear one of the tracks ISTATIC was working on. With his strong ties in the industry he wanted to bring ISTATIC to San Diego’s nightclubs, (and he did). ISTATIC’s first show, at On Broadway was their big debut and a big success. They put out their first release called "Hippo" on EV Music earlier this year. "Hippo" climbed into the Top 25 on Beatport's Techno Charts. Since then ISTATIC has played at many of San Diego’s hottest dance spots including On Broadway, Club SPIN, and the underground. ISTATIC has played in San Francisco before and are excited to come back.
Semora is 0(h)20's resident and a new talent from Amsterdam. Semora grew up with music through her dad and it has always been a big passion for her. After spinning often at friend's places back home in Amsterdam her friends encouraged her to dj for real. Semora debuted September 2008 in Amsterdam. One year later she debuts in San Francisco on the Sunset Boat party in August. The crowd seems to love her whenever she spins. She has this great energy behind the decks and rocks the party out with her groovy and deep tech-house sound. With the concept of 0(h)20 it looks like San Francisco will hear more from her.
