About Me


This profile was edited with spaceprofile.net Editor
BORN 1973 AND RAISED IN SOUTH GERMANY, ARNE WAS INFLUENCED AS A YOUNG KID BY HIS MOTHER AND HER VARIED MUSICAL TASTE. AFTER SEVERAL EXCURSIONS INTO DIFFERENT MUSICAL STYLES SUCH AS DEATH METAL AND HIP HOP IN HIS TEENAGE YEARS, ARNE FINALLY DISCOVERED TECHNO MUSIC AT THE AGE OF 21.
SINCE THAT TIME HE BECAME INFECTED AND SOON STARTED TO DEEJAY. AFTER PRACTISING HIS TURNTABLE SKILLS AT HOME, HE BECAME A RESIDENT DEEJAY AT THE DEPOT CLUB IN TUEBINGEN, WHERE HE RAN A MONTHLY PARTY EVENT FOR 5 YEARS. THERE HE MET WITH ARTISTS LIKE OLIVER KAPP, FABRICE LIG, SHAKE, PACOU, DJ TIM AND LOTS OF OTHERS, AND DEVELOPED HIS PASSION FOR THE DEEPER SHADES OF TECHNO MUSIC, ESPECIALLY COMING FROM DETROIT.
IN 2000 ARNE DECIDED TO MAKE HIS FIRST ATTEMPTS AT PRODUCING DEEP MELODIC TECHNO HIMSELF WITH ONLY A COMPUTER, AND SOON REALISED THAT HE NEEDED TO GET SOME REAL GEAR TO EXPRESS HIMSELF AUTHENTICALLY. ARMED ONLY WITH A FEW PIECES OF GEAR HE STARTED TO DO HIS FIRST REAL TRACKS AND SOON GOT A RECORD DEAL WITH FRANKFURT BASED LABEL PROPAGANDA.
HIS FIRST 12", THE "THROUGH THE COLONNADES" EP WAS RELEASED IN EARLY 2001 AND GAINED SOME GOOD REACTIONS SUCH AS GETTING CHARTED BY LAURENT GARNIER. BECOMING FAR MORE INFLUENCED BY DEEP ELECTRONIC MUSIC, ARNE BEGAN BUILDING HIS STUDIO AND HIS OWN MUSICAL STYLE. SOON HE GOT IN CONTACT WITH OTTO KOPPIUS, LABEL OWNER OF THE DUTCH GROUNDZERO/KEYNOTE LABEL, AND GOT HIS SECOND RELEASE, THE "SNOWFLAKE" EP IN 2002.
AFTER THAT A LOT OF 12"ES FOLLOWED, RELEASED ON LABELS SUCH AS STARBABY, DOWN LOW, HEADSPACE AND TECHNOIR AUDIO TO NAME A FEW.
IN THE FUTURE MANY OTHER PROJECTS CAN BE EXPECTED FROM HIM, FOR EXAMPLE RELEASES ON MATRIX DETROIT, AFFECTED, STYRAX, FRANTIC FLOWERS AND MORE.
HE IS NOW LIVING IN THE FRANKFURT AREA WHERE HE CONCENTRATES ON HIS OWN PRODUCTIONS AND THE DEEP SIDES OF SOULFUL ELECTRONIC MUSIC. HE FOUNDED HIS OWN LABEL "AW-RECORDINGS" IN 2004 AND RELEASED HIS FIRST ALBUM "PATH OF THE GODS" IN EARLY 2007 ON HIS LABEL.

My Interests

Producing music and deejaying.

Music in general, mainly electronic music of all categories, especially what we call deep like the stuff coming from Detroit, but also interested in jazz, some metal stuff, funk from the old days, soul etc.
I love reading good books, mainly science fiction books and thriller stuff.
Also I'm a film addict and like all the classic science fiction stuff like Star Wars (the original old ones of course!) or the best film ever Blade Runner....
I'm interested a lot in cooking Thai food and people that tried my food never complained, so I guess it has to be pretty good. I do love to watch my two cats play and it's great to see them enjoying their life! They make me smile a lot more than I usually do.

I'd like to meet:

People that realised that life is too short for non-important things such as having a bigger car than the neighbor etc. People that enjoy their creativity and have a sense for beautiful things. I'd love to meet Herbie Hancock to talk about music, that would be awesome! Depeche Mode!

Music:

Detroit techno, good deep techno and house in general, ambient, some electronica stuff like Black Dog, Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin and so on. Jazz from the sixties and the good old Blue Note era, Pharao Sanders, Sun Ra, Herbie Hancock especially in his funky electronic era in the 70s.
I love Depeche Mode forever and always. My first self bought record was DM and I guess they have to play DM for my burial. Also like some metal stuff, not the really hard stuff anymore as I'm getting older and older... hahaha...
Parliament & Funkadelic, The Supremes, James Brown, Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Johnny Cash, Porcupine Tree, Audioslave, Morrissey, The Smiths, The Cure, Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream and so on and on....

Movies:

Blade Runner is the best! Star Wars (the old ones), Indiana Jones, The Godfather, Alien, Aliens; Alien Ressurrection, Sin City, L.A.Crash, Lost in Translation, Broken Flowers, Mad Max, Renaissance, A scanner darkly, 300, Sideways...

Television:

No, thanks!!! Only like King of Queens, Sponge Bob and Lost (even though it slowly gets boring now). Apart from that I only watch different documentations.

Books:

Lord Gamma & Morphogenesis by Michael Marrak, The Stand by Stephen King, Do Androids dream of electric sheep? by Philip K. Dick, Osten Ard Saga by Tad Williams, Lord of the Rings.... Authors like Frank Schaetzing, Dean Koontz, Dan Brown, Jules Verne, Robert A. Heinlein, Arthur C. Clarke....

Heroes:

Herbie Hancock! George Clinton! Marvin Gaye! John Lennon! Derrick May! Mad Mike Banks! Manuel Göttsching! Tangerine Dream! Chewbacca! Sponge Bob!
