The Jury
Nico Pusch
Nico Pusch is one of the most famous German techhouse DJs. He already worked with Robin Schulz and many other artists worldwide.
2013 saw the release of his You EPon droomschipp, his first personal release on vinyl. After smaller releases before, this was the final accolade at the latest.
Then in 2014 his first album Von Luft & Liebe came on WePlay. Shortly thereafter, the well-known Faze-Mag invited him to do a DJ mix for their in-house mix series, which was released as Faze #29. After countless singles and EPs remixed by Township Rebellion, Carlo Ruetz, K-Paul and Thomas Lizzara, among others, his album "Different Worlds" was released in 2018, on which he once again demonstrates his wonderfully multifaceted way of creating music.
More singles and releases followed, until now the ways crossed again with his home label droomschipp . This is how the idea of the Blackbird Remix Contest was born in a joint collaboration.
Plunk.ton
Plunk.ton is label co-founder and the captain of droomschipp. In 2010 he himself was among the winners of the remix contest for the track "The Way It Took Us" by Florian Meindl. This experience also motivated him to organize the Nico Pusch Remix Contest.
2011 saw the first vinyl release of Plunk.ton as a Various Artist EP together with a track by Marcus Mahler. His most successful work was probably the Allein EP, on which Nico Pusch also contributed a remix. Subsequently, there were many other releases, especially on droomschipp and labels such as Wanderlust, Lover Or Mate, Audio Safari and Who Else Music.
In June 2023, his first official album called Transformation will be released.
Daniel Helmstedt
Daniel Helmstedt fascinates with his very own distinctive style of combining relaxed arpeggios with harmonic pads and strings. He proved this in the recent past with the track Bliss , among others, which was released on the HYMNS label run by AKA AKA.
Daniel had his first release Erdbeerliebe / Laubtänzer in 2011 on pure RecordsThere also followed his first release on vinyl called Luft & Liebein 2012. On droomschipp his Drawn EP with remixes by Plunk.ton and Ben Haydie is an absolute favorite. But Daniel has been around a lot and released diligently on many other labels like Maldesoule, Mango Alley, Blue Magenta, Manual Deep and Tächno.
Recently he finished his first own sample pack, which will be released soon via Zenhiser .
Alexander Ebisch
Alex has a musical family background and has a fine hand, or rather a fine ear, for wonderful harmonies and transitions.
So he came on board the droomschipp in 2015 with his first release Don’t Say Wrong . Since then, he has immortalized himself in various remixes and different releases on Wanderlust and Oxytech Limited , among others. His personal highlight was his single When Simple Feelings Cry, which was released on Wanderlust in 2020.
Alex has been an integral part of the droomschipp crew for many years, not only because of his music.
