Jakob is a Berliner, from Kreuzberg to be exact. As all good parents do, his wanted him to play an instrument. After years of successfully dodging music lessons and his parents wishes, he finally at the subtle age of 15 decided that he desperately needed a bass guitar, which then through diligent practice manoeuvred him from hardcore bands to funk and jazz bands. But suddenly, there was a small problem: he liked Techno parties much better than rock concerts. So, as one does, he began buying the odd techno maxi here and there until one day little Jakob thought to himself: Why heck, I can do that too! So off he went and bought himself an overpriced Atari St40 and a cheap synthesizer, only to realize that oops those guys from Detroit really do know what theyre doing and that it wasnt that easy after all. Well, that is basically where Jacobs ambitiously planned out life suddenly took a screeching of the wheels turn in another direction. Franziskus is from Erfurt, a small and rural part of Germanys quite rough and wild East, which didnt stop him from starting piano lessons at the innocent age of 6. His musical interests took him from the usual suspects like Michael Jackson and The Pet Shop Boys through to Hardcore (obviously not on the piano). But then one day, or night to be exact similar to Jakob, all was to suddenly change.. A fortuitous night out at the legendary E-Werk in 1993, made this young mans heartbeat skip from Chopin over to a 4/4 beat where it was to remain, probably forever. Three years later Franziskus took up residency at the infamous Sub ground Lighthouse After hour, resulting in numerous further bookings. The paths of these two young men crossed whilst they were both studying to be sound engineers. Seeing as all the other students in there year were long haired Metal heads it was only a matter of time until their paths crossed. So, after spending a few long Berlin party nights together they decided to see if they could start a project together. And so the story ends or better yet, begins with Format:B........................... booking requests, please contact cliquebookings: www.cliquebookings.com ..MoH and the braunstownerZzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063616204969974942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754139151709237485.post-91107559183339490822011-02-27T15:35:52.414-08:002011-02-27T15:35:52.414-08:00Dieser Kommentar wurde vom Autor entfernt.MoH and the braunstownerZzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063616204969974942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754139151709237485.post-46107393301417053792011-02-06T12:45:59.370-08:002011-02-06T12:45:59.370-08:00By 2004 he had reached a plateau of sorts, and was...By 2004 he had reached a plateau of sorts, and was torn. The harder techno sound he'd been pushing for so many years had elevated him to the scene's top tier, but inside he harboured a burning desire for musical upheaval; a lust for refinement, to slow things down and get back to the groove.<br />Now residing back in Napoli, Marco began a process of reinvention, starting with a focus on bookings at smaller clubs with more underground sensibilities that better suited his new, more considered style and offered the opportunity to hone it over the course of longer,<br />extended sessions. Domestic Minimal Noise was set-up as a bridge between the Marco Carola of old and new, evidenced by the label's pacey yet undoubtedly funk-fuelled output. The encapsulation of this transformation came a couple of years later, however, as Marco<br />reneged on his stance of not recording mix CDs (he always felt his three-deck, club-ready style was inappropriate for the form) and agreed to contribute to London club fabric's seminal mix series. Fabric 31 was a lesson in sleek, future-facing minimalism. The disc<br />introduced Marco to an entirely new audience and clearly illustrated an artist revelling in a fresh creative perspective. 2007's Apena would also prove to be hugely significant. The release heralded his first<br />collaboration with Richie Hawtin's Plus 8/Minus stable. This family environment has since established a platform from which Marco has been encouraged to express himself with unbridled creative freedom. The most widely recognized example of this was 2008's<br />undeniable earworm "Bloody Cash" which garnered Plus 8 with one of that year's biggest techno tracks. Both Minus and Plus 8 have continued to host his 12-inch productions at regular intervals (Plus One, Plus Two and Walking Dog to name a few), and in 2M Marco<br />has been granted his own sub-label (strictly limited to 2000 copies per release) to curate as he sees fit. Ibiza has become more and more of a key destination for Marco through the years, and in<br />2010 this was solidified by his residency at Cocoon's Monday night Amnesia sessions. Party ringleader Sven Vath showed further faith in Marco by asking him to mix Cocoon's Party Animals CD alongside Nick Curly, building on the foundations laid down by Marco's<br />double-disc Time Warp 2009 mix, which married the deeper house end of his range with his now trademark groove-ridden techno.<br />When it came to following up Open System Marco knew it must be with something exceptional. "I've been working like crazy on Play It Loud," he says on the travail behind his latest full-length. "I've never been working like this, not even when I was a kid and I wanted<br />to be known!" The resulting album is the perfect amalgamation of Marco's DJ and production sensibilities. Play It Loud's 18 tracks are presented in mix form and explore what proved for Marco to be a highly fertile middle-ground between home listening and the<br />dancefloor—a reduced tempo and complete creative license from Minus allowed Marco to burrow deeper into his sound than ever before. "I always try to do something new," he says. "When I produce, or when I DJ, I don't really think about where I want to go musically, I just start to feel."MoH and the braunstownerZzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063616204969974942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754139151709237485.post-46214966248467900452011-02-04T22:43:23.099-08:002011-02-04T22:43:23.099-08:00...upon which he would continue building on.
In 1......upon which he would continue building on.<br /><br />In 1991, at an outdoor “rave” party in Stockholm, Joel experienced a musical style he had never heard before. In the lights of his discovery of techno, he has found his passion. Soon after, Joel began picking up mostly House and Techno from the Stockholm record shops. Nevertheless, he met Adam Beyer at school, who spent his lunch breaks teaching Joel how to mix and play records with the pair of Technics 1210 he had at home. In 1993 Joel bought an Ensoniq sampler and DJ equipment of his own, and from that moment, he confidently took off into realms of electronic music.<br /><br />Joel found inspiration to pursue a full time DJ career in 1995. From that point on, he has consistently flexed his musical background with his range of productions and superb choice of label releases. After many releases on different labels around the world, Joel felt that it was time to take control over his music and in 1998 a new project was born: “Inside Records.” Since then there has been a continuous release flow of quality dance-floor techno 12” from his studio in Stockholm.<br /><br />Working with Adam Beyer as the duo “Safety Session,” the two have received an overwhelming response to their releases. Being a contemporary musician with rare training and a good ear has led Joel down the path of electronic music. As DJ and live act, Joel has been performing in numerous countries across the Globe. He has become an artist to be watched and followed. Joel Mull is a perfect example of the successful contemporary techno artist.MoH and the braunstownerZzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063616204969974942noreply@blogger.com
