Der Energieberater
Vinyl DJ, remixer, producer from Wiesbaden... "Always surprise the audience!" he said and he manages to do this again and again. One of the last who understand their craft and one of those who respect the original and becomes a part of the song through creativity.
Der Energieberater is ...?
...a Vinyl-DJ and producer from Wiesbaden/Germany. Motto: always surprise the audience. I love to celebrate with the crowd and make remixes from cool bands and songwriters from the indie scene.
Who inspired you to make music in general and how did you get into music?
I started out as a dj in the 80s so I have a lot of influences from the beginning of electronic music, house and grooves from this great time. I love Kraftwerk, New Order, vocal house but also old-school hiphop with funky grooves.
You are a well known Remixer and Producer , when do you decide that a remix is ready for a release?
I try to respect to the original but also want to give the song a new vibe. When I´m happy with the remix I always ask the bands if they like it too. Then it is time for mastering and the release.
Who would you most like to collaborate with?
I like to work with musicians from my area but also from all around the world. If I like a track it either could be an unknown artist but also a famous band. In the last 2 years I appreciate to reach out to bands via instagram and collaborated with great artists from Austria, Canada, Sweden and California, England,… and my hometown Wiesbaden.
What do you think was the last "Big thing'' in the music industry?
Vinyl😊 Music on wax is not only data : it earns the big sound and respect. Especially a 12” Maxi-Single.
