You most likely heard of Sven Palzer or even gone sweaty to one of his sets, when you’ve been clubbing around the German Rhein-Ruhr area in the past years. Whether at Düsseldorf’s legendary “Home14“, where he was one of the main residents or now frequently at Cologne’s most popular afterhour “Breakfast Beats“ or the uprising “Versteck“ club in Dortmund to name just a few, Sven is dropping his hypnotizing trippin’ sets, that range between the chunky side of House and the swinging side of Techno, at some of the hottest events around and abroad.
But there’s much more to this multi-activist than just passionately spinning records since the age of 15. Although his first love is the deepest, he has paved his way in the music industry and nowadays additionaly promotes and co-directs several labels, owns the booking and promotion agency “BPM Affairs“ and since 2007 runs his own label PUZZLE TRAXX.
The label’s aim is as simple as ambitious – serving soulful pieces of dance electronica far beyond stereotyped thinking. So far Puzzle Traxx has released productions by the likes of Patrick Zigon, randomPLAY, Alex Under, Agnès, Martin Landsky, Alessandro Crimi and lately the Puzzle head himself, whose label debut “Quid Pro Quo“ in collaboration with friend Patrick Zigon was well received by the international DJ elite. The course is set and there’s much more to follow on the production side... stay tuned!
Sven has commited himself completely to music and lives and breathes it. It’s a fulltime job and purpose in life at the same time. Call him a dreamer, but he’s not doing it for the limelight! He’s doing it to see his visions becoming real, to take the scene a little further and push boundaries, for the unity and the sweating bodies. Music has got so much more to give than money and fame!
