  their own biography

  the whole biography

  Maayan Nidam, also performing as THE WAVES is an artist in flux, continues to change, evolve and challenge boundaries both in her Berlin studio and on stage. She has built a reputation as a fine producer, live performer & DJ who favours a subtle approach towards mesmeric moments. Her DJ sets, predominantly based in stripped-back, deep sounds, utilise an intriguing vinyl collection, using obscure interludes for re-contextualisation. This approach makes for some magical moments on the dance-floor, where a night’s highlight may come from the most unlikely of tracks. As a musician obsessed about sound and the technology behind its creation, her workflow places a strong focus on the studio environment. Triggering chain reactions between guitar pedals, drum machines, modular synths and acoustic instruments, generating sounds in unpredictable, exciting ways. As THE WAVES, Maayan has developed a solo live set that allows her to further her studio experiments and take them on the road. With a flexibly evolving range of hardware, she re-creates the spontaneous frame of her productions, delving deep into the possibilities of live dubbing and improvisation, keeping the performance exciting for both the crowd and Maayan herself.

  "Do what thy manhood bids thee to,?From none but self expect applause:?He noblest lives and noblest dies?Who makes and keeps his self-made laws."?[Richard Francis Burton] Revelation instead of obviousness, radical reduction versus reckless verve, ecstatic eternalness, anti-elastic dictatorship of utilization.??In the course of an existence amidst the international Techno circus manège that has been running for (in nearly correct mathematical terms) 20 years, Mario Radecki alias Sammy Dee was able to earn an irrevocable aura as an innovator of electronic music workmanship, far away from beaten mass consumption paths and neoteric-commercial validity.??As a (former) resident of Berlin based genesis time venues Tresor and Ostgut, the name Sammy Dee has already been notorious for a passionate manifestation of systematic, personality changing mixing skills back in the 90s. Defining an unparalleled audio-arty range, the vinyl fanatic likes to disperse his beliefs and visions eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth to the skilled and listening audience. Through Sammy's audiophile and distinctive presence, subtle bass-lines are consistently oscillating alongside psychotic tunes, chopped and edgy explorations float through intangibly grotesque layers - all flawlessly sailing around a mediocre moment of time with a trademark, mischievious Perlon smile. The monthly club night hosted and curated by Sammy, "...GET PERLONIZED!", at infamous Panorama Bar, is anno 2011 one of the most prestigious club events Europe-wide. It has a certain illuminating power up it's sleeve, that can not be gained by promotional exuberance or by worshipping at the alter of capital return; but with musical consistency - keywords that encompass and define everything the Berlin born artist does.??Various releases, inter alia in cooperation with Guido Schneider and Heiko Laux for Poker Flat and Kanzleramt respectively, are defining the German maestro's vita. Together with his "confederate in crime" and Perlon co-founder, Zip, Sammy created Pantytec in 1998 – eight letters that stand for an infinite flow of emotions, minimal perfection and properly arranged timelessness. Six publications followed, including one album full of all-pervading anti-labelling named Pony Slaystation.??Working together with Bruno Pronsato, the man being described in this biographical text gave birth to Half Hawaii in 2006. To date, three physical liaison results have been manifctured on Perlon, hello?repeat and Diamonds & Pearls. Sammy Dee's youngest child is named Ultrastretch. Titled after the PERLON68-B-side and not to be confused with his regular party series at Berlin based Weekend club, Sammy founded Ultrastretch at the end of 2010 with a collective of like-minded musicians and cultivated artists who were ready to walk with him on his underground community based path into a non-genre-focussed and cross-benched/forthright future. Release #1 was realized in January 2011 with Matthew Burton's 'Who Loves You/Small Winner', a Seuil and Half Hawaii EP is on it's way. "One man with a dream, at pleasure,?Shall go forth and conquer a crown;?And three with a new song's measure?Can trample an empire down."?[Arthur O’Shaughnessy] "Es reden und träumen die Menschen viel / Von besseren künftigen Tagen / Nach einem glücklichen goldenen Ziel / Sieht man sie rennen und jagen." [Friedrich von Schiller] Offenbarung statt Offensichtlichkeit, radikale Reduktion versus rücksichtslose Rasanz, ekstatische Zeitlosigkeit anti elastisches Verwertungsdiktat: Im Verlauf einer Existenz inmitten der Manege des Techno-Zirkus, welche sich über mathematisch fast korrekte 20 Jahre erstreckt, durfte sich Mario Radecki alias Sammy Dee einen unersetzlichen Nimbus als Innovator elektronischer Wertarbeit abseits von Massenkonsumation und kommerzieller Bonität erspielen. Als (Ex-)Resident der legendären Berliner Gründerzeitlokalitäten Tresor und Ostgut war der Name Sammy Dee bereits Anfang der Neunziger als passionierte Manifestation gezielt-persönlichkeitsverändernder Mixing-Skills berüchtigt. Einen musikalischen Rahmen definierend, den der Vinyl-Fanatiker zeitpunktunabhängig Auge um Auge, Ohr um Ohr an die geschulte HörerInnenschaft zu verteilen pflegt: Subtile Bässe schwingen während seiner audiophilen Präsenz entlang psychotischer Tunes, Zerhackt-Diffiziles schwebt unter Ungreifbar-Groteskem hindurch, den plausiblen und mittelmäßigen Moment mit schelmischem Perlon-Lächeln gekonnt umschifft. Der von Sammy von Anbeginn kuratierte, monatliche Clubabend "...GET PERLONIZED!" in der Panorama Bar zählt anno 2011 zu den angesehensten Veranstaltungs-Schienen Europas, jene Leuchtkraft in petto, nicht prämiert mittels promotionellem Überschwang und Gottesdienst an der Distinktionsrendite, sondern erkämpft dank musikalischer Konsequenz - ein Stichwort, welches das gesamte Tun des in Berlin Geborenen konkretisierbar macht. Diverse Releases, unter anderem gemeinsam mit Guido Schneider und Heiko Laux auf Poker Flat beziehungsweise Kanzleramt, zeichnen die Vita des deutschen Maestros. Mit seinem Komplizen am Dienst des Mystischen und Perlon-Co-Gründer Zip kreiierte Sammy 1998 Pantytec - acht Buchstaben eines unendlich fließenden Stroms an Emotionen, minimaler Perfektion und exakt arrangierter Zeitlosigkeit. Sechs Veröffentlichungen auf Perlon folgten, inklusive eines Albums voller gelebter Anti-Etikettierung namens Pony Slaystation. Mit Bruno Pronsato kooperierend, gebar der in diesem Text im Mittelpunkt Stehende im Jahre 2006 Half Hawaii, drei physische Ergebnisse der Liaison, publiziert auf Perlon, hello?repeat und Diamonds & Pearls, erblickten bis dato die Musik-Welt. Sammy Dees jüngstes Kind trägt den Namen Ultrastretch. Benannt nach der PERLON68-B-Seite - und nicht zu verwechseln mit seiner regulären Veranstaltungsreihe im Berliner Weekend - gründete Sammy Ende 2010 Ultrastretch als Kollektiv gleichgesinnter und kultivierter Künstler, welches genreschubladenunabhängig ein Stück des Underground-Pfades gemeinsam zu gehen bereit ist. Veröffentlichung #1 wurde im Januar 2011 mit Matthew Burtons Who Loves You/Small Winner realisiert, eine Half Hawaii-EP befindet sich in der Release-Pipeline. "Wenn Du ein Schiff bauen willst, dann trommle nicht Männer zusammen, um Holz zu beschaffen, sondern lehre sie die Sehnsucht nach dem weiten, endlosen Meer." [Antoine de Saint-Exupéry] Ludwig II

  the whole biography

  Thomas Franzmann aka Zip aka Dimbiman, co-founder of the label Perlon, is familiar with the dancefloors around the world and famous for his tremendous minimal shifts within the 4/4 scheme. He has an illustrious musical history which began in 1986 as singer in the band Second Voice. In 1992 he moved to Frankfurt and joined the EBM band Bigod 20. After several releases the band split. In 1996 he got together with Markus Nikolai and Chris Rehberger to form the audio-visual project Pile. In 1997 he and Nikolai founded the Perlon label, on which he has released under the pseudonyms Dimbiman, Pantytec (with Sammy Dee) and Narcotic Syntax (with James Dean Brown). In 1999 the SuPERLONgevity compilation was released, featuring 'Bushes', a track that has since garnered chart-topping remixes from the likes of Derrick Carter and Fatboy Slim. Franzmann also recorded with Peter "Baby" Ford and has appeared on Ford's label PAL SL. He is a regular guest DJ in clubs around the world and holds residencies at Robert Johnson (Offenbach) and the Panorama Bar (Berlin). He participates in the Narod Niki project, occasional collective laptop live jams initiated by Ricardo Villalobos and Richie Hawtin. He has released tracks and remixes on Perlon, Playhouse, Force Inc, Novamute and others.
