DJ:
Jerome Sydenham

Introduction:
Jerome Sydenham – the creative head behind labels like Ibadan Records, Apotek, musician with great tunes like “Timbuktu”, “Sandcastles”, “White Light” etc. – delivered our January 2016 mix.

His DJ sets are nothing short of phenomenal – veering from deep, intricate, chugging techno, to jackin’ tech house, into huge anthemic house moments in the classic vein. Always pursuing his love for techno – both industrial-edged thumpers and deep, soulful Detroit moments, with some melodic beauties along the way.

Jerome Sydenham’s illustrious music career took off in the late eighties when he joined the prestigious A&R division at Atlantic Records where he worked with the likes En Vogue, Das Efx, and breaking the vocal house group Ten City. Soon after he met emerging producer Kerri Chandler – one of his closest friends and a former collaborator, his name as a producer and DJ gradually built over the ’90s, with his superb label Ibadan Records launched in 1995.

Sydenham’s desire to push the creative envelope took him into the world of Techno with the hit “Asama”, with which he launched the German based label Apotek Records. The year 2007 also saw the initiation of a new label collaboration, Avocado Records, established in Denmark with heavy weight producer Rune RK with the monster track “Elephant”.

In 2009 remixes by Sydenham included: “Angel” by Carl Craig (Planet-e), “Forming Dies” by Adam Beyer & Joel Mull (Drumcode), “Way of the Lonely Ones Pt2” by Nihad Tule (Spectrum), and “Materia” by Nic Fanciulli (Global Underground). 2010 has seen Sydenham releases on Drumcode, CLR and soon to come Planet-E.

DJ:
Ian P. Christ

Introduction:
Ian P. Christ plays music as a DJ and has promoted hundreds of party- and live events since the early 2000’s. His current resident nights are “Ceremonies” and “Death # Disco”, the latter run together with Philipp Strobel of “Aufnahme + Wiedergabe”. Ian and Phil have not only released four volumes (so far) of the well acclaimed “Death # Disco Compilation”, but also played the main floor of Berghain recently. An evidence of the genre-overlapping popularity of the event series they’ve established in 2010.

Having his roots deep in the veins of Cold Wave, Post Punk and Goth, Ian’s personal taste has developed more and more into the direction of Electronic Body Music, Synthetic Wave and Techno within the past three years. A fact which obviously had an impact on the sound mix provided at his own nights.
