Juergen Drimal

Vienna Scientists Mastermind - Jürgen Drimal (32) developed his passion for music at the tender age of nine, which should coin his path of life decisively. The stepping stone for his musical evolution was the purchase of some Motown records. This was the decisive stimulus for taking keyboard lessons in the years to follow. By aid of his later next door neighbour, no other than Jazz drummer Idris Muhammad, Drimals love and knowledge for and about Black Music blossomed and he absorbed all shades of Funk, Soul, Jazz, RnB, Brasil and Latin.His further way was the logical consequence of a passionate love affair with music. The stations he took were the following: Starting with a short tenure as a record dealer, he opened his own enterprise at the age of 19. It didnt take long for Jürgen Drimal to make a move to Vienna, launching his record store Cool Vibes in the centre of Austrias capitol.Besides his occupation with the record market, Drimal has already been DJ-ing in various clubs since he was 16. Eventually, in 1994 he underwent his first attempts to become a producer of electronic music and this venture led to the release of Time Zone in 1996, a corporation with Jochen Reiter. Inspired by the amazing potential of Viennas DJ scene and the obvious lack of a platform for releases, Drimal developed the compilation project Vienna Scientists in 1998. Functioning as a forum for DJs and Producers alike, it gave Austrias Electronic New Skool the possibility to showcase its skills and styles. In the spring to follow, Jürgen Drimal founded his own label Vienna Scientists Recordings which by now proudly presents its 16th release Vienna Scientists IV- Five Years Of Solid Grooves.Parallel to the foundation of the label, Drimal and his fellow music producer Gernot Ebenlechner teamed up in order to release their very own musical ideas. They christened their offspring by the name of Freedom Satellite which is about to mature to LP length only this year.Jürgen Drimal - crossing the boundaries between retro and future jazz, funky beats, house and boogie tunes.
