Together:The New England Electronic Music Festival is that rarest of opportunities. For many people, dance music and its continuing surge in popular culture provides a chance to collaborate and communicate as never before: thoughts are remixed, songs are made in cooperation and entire events are promoted collectively.
Together will be an extension of this idea, a multi-venue, multi-party, multi-panel super event uniting not simply genres of music, but entire scenes once thought to be disparate. The city of Boston provides a unique platform as well, with its enormous student population, numerous technology centers and differing types of venues.
Together Boston will reach thousands of personalities within the mixing generation. As The New England Electronic Music Festival we will touch on not just dance music, but the emerging technologies of electronic music production. By involving different groups—from the most senior avant-garde lovers to the youngest members of this new sound, this is the genesis of a new era of collaboration and innovation for the New England arts, technology and music communities.

HISTORY
After more than 10 years of experience in the field of media storage solutions, Christoph Winkelmann (Managing Director) founded the company Geckwin e.K. in 1999 with the aim of improving the existing archiving solutions market by delivering more individual and user friendly ideas. With the incorporation of a suitcase manufacturing factory in Asia 6 years ago and the simultaneous foundation of the sales company Geckwin Hong Kong Ltd., the perfect condition for this aim was created. Today we have about 180 employees in our factory, covering the following fields: design, manufacturing, quality control and toolmaking.
When it comes to the storage of media products, innovations like the MEDI SYSTEM (launched in 2001) are especially relevant. This product, developed and produced by us, is protected by worldwide patents and for the last 4 years has been the most successful archiving solution for the storage of media such as for example CD, DVD and Video. Parallel to the production of the MEDI SYSTEM in 2001, we produced a limited edition series of high-quality DJ Bags exclusively for our export customers to complement our range of CD archiving products. Following overwhelming positive feedback from our customers, we decided to launch our own brand, “MAGMA”, offering new and more individual concepts for DJs. Today we have an attractive and broadly diversified product range, which specifically considers the wishes and different demands of DJs.

Our philosophy is to turn original concepts into reality through high quality control manufacturing. The perfection of innovative designs provides end-users with functionality and quality.
Above that, the active integration of internationally renowned DJ artists to the development of our products are decisive to the success of our brand.
We always consider current economical conditions when setting our prices and in turn this has made us a stronger player and helps us to constantly grow within the market. Our customers are our partners and are supposed to grow economically together with us. Success is a laborious process and requires continuous development, particularly in the field of media storage where fast evolutions are very normal. For this reason we always focus our look towards evolutions in order to be able to satisfy the current and future demands of our partners.
