Wareika, Federleicht, Hatikvah and Here Today are just some of the projects of Hamburg's busy house music vocalist, producer and DJ, Florian Schirmacher. The passionate collaborator has been further working with artists like Märtini Brös and Mathias Kaden for releases on labels like Cadenza and Liebe*Detail.

After successfully teaming up with Guido Schneider as Glowing Glisses at the beginning of the decade, Schirmacher joined the Havana Boys, Henrik Raabe and Jakob Seidensticker, to form Wareika. Their open-minded and modern approach to house music has since gained the trio widespread popularity, culminating in the release of their recent album, 'Formation'.

Schirmacher's other current projects should not be overlooked by any means however: Deep house outfit Hatikvah for instance, which highlights Schirmachers distinct singing style, or adventurous ambient house project Federleicht. Together with Andre Hoffmann, Schirmacher has further started his own label recently, FormResonance.
