About Me

Die Single "Dieser Ton" wird Anfang Februar auf Two Faces Records erscheinen! Im Vertrieb bei Wordandsound. Online wird´s die Single unter anderem bei DJTunes und iTunes geben. Neben dem Original-Mix gibt es Remixe von Lars Sommerfeld und Position:Greenfield. Hier der originale Press-Release:
The latest release on Two Faces shows a slightly different side of the label and introduces the new artist Björn Leineweber. Björn combines modern electronic clubmusic with rock and punk influences and his special german vocals to a very own style. The original mix of “Dieser Ton” shows his full talent for writing exceptional lyrics, beautiful harmonies and creating unique sound designs. A track with a lot of feelings. On A2 we find Position:Greenfield - an artist out of the label environment. He developed a remix with classic techno elements and unexpected variances. A track for the early morning hours to deeply touch the crowd. On the flip the label boss himself makes a very compact groovy floorburner. Perhaps one of the hits in 2008 ;-) No more words needed.
Björn Leineweber - Im Vollbesitz meines geistigen Eigentums!
Als Independent Künstler und Rechtsanwalt auf dem Gebiet des geistigen Eigentums bin ich stets daran interessiert, neue Kontakte in Sachen Produktionen, Remixing, Lizenzierungen und Veröffentlichungen zu knüpfen. Gerne werde ich auch in all diesen Punkten vermittelnd oder unterstützend tätig, sei es für die Seite der Labels oder des Künstlers. Weierhin kann ich in Sachen Eventplanung, Design (Veröffentlichungen oder Flyer), Videodreh und Artistmanagement auf viele Kontakte zurückgreifen, die ich gern weiter vermittele.
Wer darüber hinaus Interesse daran hat meine Songs zu veröffentlichen, zu lizenzieren, Remixe für kommende 12inches oder Mp3s zu fertigen oder mich einfach nur als DJ zu buchen, sollte sich nicht scheuen mir eine e-mail zukommen zu lassen.
P.S.: Solltet ihr eine meiner Platten kaufen wollen und weder im Laden noch im Internet fündig werden, so schreibt mir doch einfach eine e-mail... es gibt noch backstock! Gleiches gilt natürlich für mein Album (bisher noch ohne Label), welches ich mit Freude gegen einen geringen Unkostenbeitrag unter die Leute bringe.

Björn Leineweber came to electronic music when the famous Club „Rote Liebe“ opened its gates in his hometown Essen in the Ruhrarea of Germany in late 1997. Fascinated by this sound he and some of his friends came to the conclusion, that playing and listening to those kinds of records was more suitable to their lifestyle, than Punk has been the years before. With all Punk Cds traded in 12inchs it was not a long way from gatherings in local Bars to his first residency at the “Cardoza” in 1999. Thanks to the more international focus of this club Björn came to play with international Djs such as Bad Boy Bill, Boy George and George Morel. No wonder he wanted more than to play only at the local areas clubs. In 1999 he also met the bookers from XXL Event Marketing that led him to gigs all over Germany, like the famous gay Club MS Connexion in Mannheim and the high society Club Chip in Berlin as well as residencies as the House DJ at the Acid Wars events in the Düsseldorfer Tor 3 and Münster Fusion Club.
Soon XXL retarded from the decentralised party organisation and began to focus on local Events in the Ruhrarea. There Björn got his next residency at the Kronski/Markthalle in Gelsenkirchen what became a sure shot for exclusive parties with about 1500 people once a month.
Björn began early to put some old records into his DJ-Sets and remixed them live. His affection to whitelabels soon became his trademark. In 2001 Björn came to know that his old friend Thimo U. Seidel who had done quite some 12inchs as producer released some whitelabels too. Björn took his chance and Thimo´s knowledge to get into producing himself. Having the chance to put records together with some mouse clicks only and the chance to get his music on Vinyl with the help of Thimo´s connections, Björns reputation as a top whitelabel DJ was fixed. It was maybe this that brought Björn to some Radio shows at Sunshine Live´s Full House Show that could be listened to by thousands of people all over Europe.
The work with Thimo Seidel at Audiosex Studios and their affection to dj tools and remixes brought Thimo and Björn to the idea of doing some records with allied forces. This was the birth of the MashUp Kids. Together with Tom (Keyboarder, coproducer) they made three records. Everyone knows how their hit “to the clouds above” influenced the clubscene all over Europe in 2003.
But being focused on his own career Björn had a delightfull summer 2003 in and around his hometown. With the summer of the century came his residency at the Amphitheater in Gelsenkirchen. This was a kind of “Café-del-Mar” like open air location that allowed the people in the Ruhrarea to listen to his sets with a very Mediterranean feel. The biggest events in 2003 for Björn were the Ruhr in Love (30.000 people) and FKK (2.500 people). Also in 2003 Björn came to play as resident DJ at Blow! Club in Essen.
In 2004 the MashUpKids encountered Europe’s No1 clubs with their unique style of computer based mixing, live remixing and various never heard exclusive versions of well known housetunes.
Meanwhile Björn worked out his own official releases on OPAQUEMUSIC and several other labels. His song “Ich bin raus” became one of the top hits in the underground of German minimalelectro because of its unique and unusual vocals. As the 12inch was only available in limited copies at first, it was soon sold out and found its way into the cases of Lexy , DJ Hell and Tube & Berger and became a hymne in the mystified Hotel Shanghai in Essen where Björn played his first live gig.
But life isn´t all about music. Björn´s studies of law forced him to take a time out of business and concentrate on doing his exams…
…2006: Focussing more and more on intellectual property law and blogging his way through the netaudio scene, Björn reconsiders on his old strength and he finally finishes his first album. Having survived the horror of law exams Björn called up his old mates and again asks Thimo Seidel to publish one of his songs. Backed up by remixes by Lars Sommerfeld his single “ich denke” hit the road in August 2006 and is soon licensed for compilations. No one knows what is going to happen from now on. People speak of Tube and Berger remixing his next single and Björn Djing on his laptop presenting Netaudio to the club culture of Germany.
Björns new single "Dieser Ton" will be released in February 2008. Original Press-Release:
