(Betoko Remix)
Betoko
London, Britain (UK)
Beto Cohen was born in Mexico, 1976, the son of actress and singer Malu Galan, he was destined to be involved in a creative environment. He started to play guitar and Drums in bands from the age of 12 and by the time he was 20 he had set up his own studio, production company and a modelling agency in Guadalajara, Mexico. In 2002 moves to London in pursuit of greater challenges as he discovers his passion for electronic sounds. A slave to his passions has led to Betoko possessing an ingenious musical mind that has commanded him to be at the centre of the international music fist. Along with a place on the list amongst other esteemed DJ’s on Mar-t’s (Amnesia Ibiza) label, Wow! Records, his solid productions demonstrate his distinctive style & approach. Described as Tech, minimal, House, the lengthy production catalog Betoko holds up against his name has seen the releases championed & play listed by DJ’s M.A.N.D.Y, Gregor Tresher, Martinez, Steve Lawler, Dubfire, Sven Vath and Marco Carola, to name a few and his tracks have been featured on TV Series like CSI, several Advertising Campaigns and Madonna's Sticky N Sweet Tour and CD / DVD. Betoko’s embellishment of his music personality gets deeper; now head honcho of his own label, OKO Recordings, he is part of the pioneering evolution of electronic magic adding high quality releases to the worlds track list, supported by some of the globes most highly regarded DJ’s.
Upcoming releases in 2012 include an EP on his new imprint Chilli Mint Music, a follow up with LOPAZZ for their Get Physical Release, A new single out on Audiofly's Supernature Label and an EP on Mar-T's Wow! Records.

(Original Mix)
Hook N Sling
Los Angeles, United States
What do Swedish House Mafia, Tiësto, Guetta, Kaskade, Oakenfold & Morillo have in common?
They all love private jets and Hook N Sling.
There is no denying that the eyes and ears of the world’s dance music fraternity are focused firmly on Hook N Sling in 2012. In just a few short years the man has gone from aspiring disc jockey to in-demand DJ, remixer and producer property.
Hook’s formative years saw him chalk up some impressive feats, in 2007 scoring an ARIA nomination, a DMC Buzz Chart #1 and several Pete Tong plays for his breakout tune “The Bump”, and later straddling both club and commercial radio success with “The Best Thing” and “Gotta Make A Move”. Add to that a swag of head-turning remixes for Calvin Harris, Fedde Le Grand, Miike Snow, Miami Horror and Ou Est Le Swimming Pool, the acclaim of mixing the Ministry of Sound Annual in 2010, and rocking gigs such as Pacha, Space Ibiza, Global Gathering and Future Music Festival, the early warnings of his impending ascent were clear.
But it’s been in the past 2 years that Hook has come out swinging hardest. First with his breakout mix for Hard Rock Sofa & St. Brothers’ “Blow Up” for Axtone (#1 Buzz Chart), and soon after with his impressive collaborative original “Diamonds In The Sky” with TV Rock and Rudy, released through Fedde’s own Flamingo Records (also garnering Tong support and climbing to the top 10 of the Dutch Tipparade). “Edge Of The Earth” (with Richard Dinsdale & Sam Obernik) on Sanchez’s iconic Stealth Records followed, with a smash remix of Wolfgang Gartner and Will I Am’s “Forever” in close step – all releases cementing his rightful ‘one to watch’ status by exhibiting his trademark production acumen and versatility.
So what would one see watching the one to watch of late? A Hype Machine #1, gold-certified Belgian Top 5 and 6m+ YouTube views for his latest goosebump-inducing offering, “Take You Higher” (with Goodwill), a stomping remix of Flo-Rida’s “Good Feeling”, and probably his biggest remix to date for compatriots NERVO – elevating their hit original with Afrojack and Aoki “We’re All No One” to bonafide banger status and clocking up over 2m views on youtube.
After the release of his DMC Miami Buzz Chart-ing and Beatport Progressive top 10 single featuring Evermore, “Surrender” in July, next up will be his buzzworthy collaboration with the NERVO girls titled “Reason”, out August 27th.
Keep watching. Hook’s only getting started.
