THOMAS LANGNER
Thomas Langner aka Ex-Or started his dj career in 1998 in his home town Czestochowa, organising series of parties called “Connection party”. Over thirty musicians from Poland and abroad gathered there to play on various occasions. Ex-Or played in majority of Polish clubs and cooperated with a top Irish DJ, Paul Kelly. It was Kelly who offered him the possibility to present his first sets in the famous Temple Bar in Dublin. Gaining fans in Poland Ex-Or was successfully stirring up parties in a number of clubs especially those open for new club sounds. He was the first one who played progressive house in south of Poland. Looking for new challenges he moved to Cracow were his sets were enthusiastically welcomed in clubs like Prozak, Roentgen and Ministry. Thanks to his great dj skills he was offered a residency in, a legendary now, club called NOBAR. His employers did not need much time to appreciate his talent and good ideas and proposed him the position of the artistic manager. The superb feel of the dancefloor made him an obvious choice as a support of a significant foreign artists like: Anthony Pappa, Yunus Guvenen, Ozgur Can, Christian Cambas, Innate, Leama, Andy Moor, MOS, Mike Monday, Santos ,ToneDepth aka Greek ,Matt Black. Thomas openly admits that he admires work of following artists – John Digweed, Satoshi Tomiie, Luke Fair, Infusion, Echomen, Andre Absolut, Chab, Dousk. While playing sets on parties he is testing his new productions, which are known to his closes friends and funs and also very much appreciated by others. Ex-Or’s case is filled with electronic house and progressive house, chosen carefully in accordance with atmosphere and stage of a party. Nowadays, together with dj Mj.uzi.k he is working on promotion ,in other parts of Poland and England ,of their own project called "LOVE". So far" LOVE" has turned out to be one of the most popular club events in Cracow (Poland) that is gathering mass audience every month. The future looks very bright for this young talented dj-producer: in January 2006 together with polish producer Jacek Janicki they will release their first vinyl on record label Twisted Frequency. Their remixes of Brisker & Magitman ft Electra "Feel me" by James Harcourt were constantly at the top of the charts , support from Hernan Cattaneo, Anthony Pappa, Matthew Dekay, Flash Brothers, Fred Numf .

For sure, new year will bring more quality productions for Existence and Pure Substance, radio shows as well as top notch parties, which we are all looking forward to.
