  the whole biography

  Phonk D’s background in music is synonymous with the development of dance music in the 1990s. Born and raised in the greater area of Germany’s Frankfurt am Main, his career as a Dj and producer is an outcome of the cities varied and lively club scene at the time. Raised on an (un-)healthy diet of weekly trips to the now legendary dance floors of nightlife icons like Dorian Gray or Sven Väth’s Omen, Phonk’s pocket money soon started to fully disappear in record shops, while he started to pour these resources and experiences into a first DJ gig in 1997. Followed by the usual training periods of the time (do your own parties, work in record shops, collect more records), and his enthusiasm for breathtaking DJ tricks and skills, his scope extended to hip hop and its roots in funk, soul and disco. Fast forward into the 2000s and Phonk D found himself as part of the fast-paced German rap scene with the production duo Kollege Schnürschuh. Taking care of MCs like Madness or Doell and playing as their backing DJ, he spent the better part of the new century’s first decade working in hip hop. However, old love never dies and Phonk found his way back to his beginnings and the four-on-the-floor rhythm. In 2014, he founded his label Footjob as an outlet for true school house. Ranging from disco influences and sampling techniques to classic deep house, it has all bases covered. With over 30 releases by a recurring string of artists and focussed on the tastes and productions of the label owner himself, it’s among the most reliable sources for that vintage and dry-aged dance sound. That didn’t go unnoticed by labels like Glitterbox, Exploited, Future Disco or Shall Not Fade or even Salsoul records that all featured the production talents of Phonk D. The same holds true for his DJ entity. Representing all these values and experience, it’s impossible to not be enamored by his presence in the DJ booth. With impeccable selections from his core business, carefully curated curveballs and surprises, Phonk D embodies the spirit of old school deejaying propelled into the here and now. Welcome to his world of merry music.

  Born in West Berlin in the 1970s, the producer has come a long way since first hearing Technotronic’s “Pump Up the Jam” on the radio in 1989, a time when the Berlin Wall was pulverized to the ground and house music reached the city in full force. Growing up on a diet of George Benson and Chic from his American stepfather’s collection, he then entered the quintessential orbit of Hardwax and Tresor in the early ’90s. It was there that he discovered his love of Chicago’s chopped-and-screwed roughness and New York’s groove. The young producer took his influences and transformed them into a template that would come to define his output: he chopped, cut, and reforged loops into his first Soundhack release in 1997, which was met with instant acclaim, as well as his first official Soundstream release in 1999, “Good Soul”. Since then, each new Sound Stream, Soundhack, or Smith ‘N’ Hack record (his singular collaboration with friend and peer Errorsmith) is greeted with anticipation by DJs, producers, and fans around the world. The pace for his output—released every few years in a measured fashion, but always instantly classic—has kept up with the quality of releases, from the timeless “Live Goes On”, “Bass Affairs” and „Love Remedy“ to his recent triple album „Disco Fantasy“. Tightly sampling disco and funk and overlaying them with pummeling kicks, his tracks are always instantly recognizable, dance floor bombs—crossovers as likely to be found in the bags of disco heads as much as house producers. Helming his DJing craft in the old Tresor and Ostgut, few can lay claim to having played at Berghain/Panorama Bar around 200 times since its doors opened in 2004, a residency that has cemented Soundstream’s DJing reputation at home and abroad. A look into his bag reveals lovely disco 12 inches, dirty Chicago house, immortal club classics, and dew-fresh jams—all blended, mixed, and sliced together with style, grace, and his trademark smile. Humble and understated, Soundstream doesn’t cater much to the world of social media hype and vacuous musical trends. Rather, like all great musicians, he lets the music do the talking.
