Press Info:
You feel the weight of concrete, steel, and decades of history alongside every beat. “Berlin,” by Clark Davis is a homage on Europe’s ultimate home of techno. In cooperation with Clark Davis, a series of artists who definitely wrote long time techno history, have lend their support with thrilling remixes. G-Man, aka Gez Varley, renowned from his groundbreaking work with LFO, lends his innovative touch by two remix versions. Steve Stoll, a fixture on the global techno scene since the early 90s, brings his minimalist approach. Additionally, Roseen, inspired by sounds and rhythms of Detroit and influenced by Berlin´s subcultural night life, contributes his unique sound. All this makes “Berlin” a deep techno journey that does justice to the spirit of Berlins techno history.
CLARK DAVIS
1998 he bought his first record player. Ten years later, his first solo production was released on fach05 -VA – Treacle. In between he became an active member of the techno scene by organizing thrilling off-location parties and starting his career as a DJ. For him, diversification was always very important. Whereas other DJs just play four-to-the-floor sounds, he combines plenty of genres. His music style can be described as a conglomerate of Detroit, House, Techno and Chill Out – as DJ as well as producer. After his debut, several more releases followed on labels like AFFIN , 3rdWAVEMUSIC , Connect FOUR Recordings, and WALL Music.
In 2017, the Hamburg-based and multi-talented techno artist founded his own label District 66 together with an old school friend and he later released on Snork Enterprises.
STEVE STOLL
Producing pure, minimalist analogue-minded techno in the vein of early Plastikman and Joey Beltram (even though his career began as a drummer with the industrial label Wax Trax), Steve Stoll has recorded for Nova Mute, Probe, DJax, Delirium, Synewave and his own Proper NYC label. Raised in Brooklyn, Stoll listened to hip-hop and disco as a child, then joined the Army straight out of high-school. He served for five years, including a period in the Gulf War when he plotted bomb runs by satellite. After being released, Stoll shifted around: he played drums for the industrial group Sister Machine Gun, studied jazz and began recording straight-edged techno for Big Apple labels like 212 Productions and Damon Wild’s Synewave.
Stoll debuted for Sm:)e Recordings with the 1995 album Pacemaker. The following year brought another album, Zero Divide (recorded as the Operator) and an EP for Nova Mute (as the Blunted Boy Wonder). After he reverted back to Steve Stoll, Damn Analog Technology followed in 1997 and The Blunted Boy Wonder one year later. He stopped because of parenthood but now picked up the gear again.
G-Man
G-Man aka Gez Varley first came to prominence as one half of the ground breaking electronic group LFO. Their first release LFO “lfo” reached number 10 in the UK charts and went on to sell 150 000 copies worldwide .. ( 1990 ) (gez left LFO in 1996 and went on to do G-man as a solo project
Over the years Gez Varley has recorded for labels like Warp, Force-inc, Gigolo, Swim, K7, white noise and +8 ( to name but a few ) and worked with the following producers Mark Bell ,Richie Hawtin, Karl Bartos ,Marco Carola and Thomas P Heckmann.
Gez has also remixed many people over the years including Radio Head, YMO, Art of noise, Afrika bambaataa (planet rock), Laurent Garnier, Soft Ballet, Alan Wilder ( depeche mode), AUX 88 and many others.
He has also played most of the top clubs worldwide such as nature one germany, sonar spain, Berghain Berlin, the omen Frankfurt, the orbit Leeds, liquid room Tokyo, New music seminar New York).etc.
Over a carer of 23 years Gez has sold over 500 000 records world wide not including remixes and compilations and has had his music used for 2 computer games and 2 adverts ( vw golf and also the ” hummer” car in the USA ).
ROSEEN
Hailing from Berlin, Roseen stands as both a DJ and a prolific producer. His journey into the realm of electronic music began in the early nineties, and from those early days, he’s been spellbound by the pulsating rhythms of American techno, particularly the sounds echoing from the streets of Detroit. Yet, his musical compass doesn’t merely point to one city; it’s an amalgamation of Berlin, New York, Birmingham, and Brighton that shape his sonic landscape. These diverse influences converge in his productions and DJ sets, crafting a unique sonic tapestry that defies convention. As a producer, DJ, label co-owner, and one-half of the enigmatic duo Ausgang, Roseen operates in the shadows, quietly carving his path in the underground. His releases are a testament to the raw, unadulterated essence of techno – a genre he believes should maintain its purity. There’s a certain naivety intrinsic to his music, a purity that emanates from spontaneous and sketchy moments, creating an unmistakable vibrancy. Many attempt to replicate this spirit, but few succeed. For Roseen, that’s the artistry of making music. It’s something that, if you listen closely, you can discern in both his productions and his mesmerizing DJ sets.
