corto.alto Bio:
Limitation can be a creative force in a world where anything is possible, and for a young Liam Shortall, that pool of influence & opportunity was as diverse as any. Born in Glasgow and surrounded by music from a young age, he gravitated initially towards instrumental music, picking up the trombone, learning his jazz chops, and listening to the big band, blues, and ska sounds of his family home

OPOLOPO BIO:
Opolopo DJ:s from London to Tokyo. His sets span from funk, boogie and soul to various shades of house. From sweaty, stripped down and dirty, to uplifting and lush. All unified by his worship of The Groove.
Born in Hungary and raised in Sweden, he spent the early part of his creative development tagging along with a touring keyboardist father and listening to fusion and electronic records. Artists like Herbie Hancock, Jeff Lorber, Earth Wind & Fire, Quincy Jones, Jean-Michel Jarre, Isao Tomita, and Kraftwerk
helped feed his ingenuity. The likes of George Clinton, Bootsy and General Caine infected him for life with the funk virus.
His music spans over two decades on labels such as Local Talk, JVC Japan, Z Records, Toolroom, Warner Brothers, Tru Thoughts, Sony/BMG, Defected and Especial Records. Collaborations/remixes include Grammy nominated vocalist Gregory Porter, Omar, Steve Arrington, Lisa Stansfield, Shaun Escoffery, Sandy Barber, The Sunburst Band, Mario Biondi, Azymuth, Jungle, Sylvester, Leroy Burgess, Roland Clark, Dexter Wansel and many more.
After spending eight months in Dubai as the first ever resident DJ and Music Director at a Four Seasons hotel, he's now back in Stockholm, touring the world and working on new material. Opolopo made #4 on Traxsource's top 100 Soulful House Artists of 2015. 2019 saw him make #5 on Traxsource's top 100 Soul/Funk/Disco Artists and in 2021 he grabbed the #4 spot. He made #21 on the new "Traxsource Top 500 Artists of 2022" list and also scored 5 overall # 1s.
2023 project highlights so far:
A full length album with vocalist Angela Johnson for Reel People Music is planned for early 2024 with singles coming out late summer of 2023.
Remixes for Jungle, Kenny Thomas, Touch Of Class, High Fade, Sipho Gumede and The Celebrant. A batch of remixes for Mother’s Favorite child featuring vocalists like Robin S and Saeeda Wright are scheduled for later this year.
