George Denver & Harrison Baker, better known as IN PARALLEL, are two students of the dancefloor. Influenced by sweat-dripping festival dance tents and iconic compilation CDs from the likes of Ministry of Sound and Hedkandi, IN PARALLEL is the result of two bubbling producers coming together to produce a new era of nostalgia-tinged club music.

George has been making noise in the dance music scene for the last 4 years, after finding a love for drum and bass. Initially influenced by artists such as Sigma and Kanine, it was only after discovering artists such as Sammy Virji, Oppidan and MPH that George was swept up by the new UK garage revolution. Harrison plays guitar, piano, and violin, but nothing satisfied him as much as digging into his parents’ collection of classic dance vinyl. Going to university in Manchester fuelled him to take production and DJing seriously, setting up his own record label Pure Filth, and releasing music under the name Baika.

Together, IN PARALLEL have combined their passions to break new ground as a duo, willing their signature sound into taking over dance floors the world over.

The Italian duo VLTRA, Riccardo Anzalone and Samuele A. Giambona, began their musical journey influenced by the electronic sounds of leading artists like Avicii, Hardwell, and Tiësto.

In 2021, VLTRA's track "Zilla," released on Repopulate Mars in collaboration with Kyle Walker, reached #3 on the Beatport Overall chart. That same year, VLTRA released "Bananza (Belly Dancer)," which topped Beatport's "Bass-House" chart. Since then they've collaborated with industry heavyweights like the Martinez Brothers and Loco Dice and had subsequent releases on John Summit's Experts Only and Meduza's AETERNA labels.

A graduate in graphic arts, and a Spaniard born in Paris, Romain Garcia has always drawn on his many influences, whether cultural or artistic. A DJ since he was 15 and a fan of techno, particularly melodic, during confinement he sent a demo to Ben Böhmer, who immediately fell in love with his soaring style, imbued with exotic sounds, distorted voice samples, layered on danceable anthems , hypnotic. This artistic love at first sight gave rise to a collaboration and thus was born “Cappadocia”, the first track by Romain Garcia released on Cercle in 2020. This was followed by the release of a single, “White Flag”, on the German label Ton Topferei. Recently spotted by the management of NTO, with whom Romain shares many stages, he signed with the prestigious English label Anjunadeep.
