Biography

„In my sets I combine Deep-Tech-House-Minimal with sexyness and give so a creative playground for a corybantic act of dancing energy,” Andri sais. “The people on the dance floor should experience the history of my sets and should have the chance to completely forget them selves.” The groove is deep, because for the seven-year-old Andri there was no better teacher than his own battery. Accompanied by the metronome and armed with sticks he mauled his drum kit with passionate dynamic. “The fascinating effect of beats and rhythm began to hypnotise me increasingly.” With an increasing control of his movements he internalised the soaring tension via the groove. Today it is the carrying element in all his live sets. With the album "Space Plane" from third space, he experienced for the first time technoid mental cinema. Logical consequence: With the acquired fascination with vinyl and underground techno acts the first mixing desk came. Even before he was sweating in the clubs with the record case, he experimented with the program “Music 2000” on the Playstation. Such a studio dinosaur was still served about the television. About “Reason” he came to “Ableton LIVE” with whom he has been working in the studio since the first version. With an education in audio engineering he generated samples of everything: Soundtracks, CDs, Accapallas towards to ambient noises using Field Recorders. Starting in clubs such as the “Dachkantine” still under the pseudonym “Knallkids” he fully focuses from now on as a solo artist on his live sets. With his first release on the label “Slutfunk” he is becoming a solid party anchor in the Zurich club scene. Quickly, Andri is notorious for his energetic performances throughout Switzerland. He stroke on enthusiasm after a few gigs abroad. His experiences are especially effective at the “BAR25” closing party: “Feeling, mood, people – pure magic! I make music exactly for this atmosphere.” He carried his audience onto a multi-sensory trip on the cultural universe of the “Fusion Areals” – the dream palace for each rising artist. Thanks to his EP “The Change” he finally landed on he international dancing floor. The disc record counts as brilliant sound work at DJs and music experts alike where his talent literally spills over into the room. Musical thinkers such as Ricardo Villalobos and Richie Hawtin are aware of the enormous energy, which the disc record unfolds on the dance floor. In the near future Andri will sprinkle some more musical pearls with releases on “Cityfox” and “Highgrade”. His sets are distinct arrangements and they are constantly pointed with freaky samples and varying rhythm. Deep but always funky bass lines cause constant thrust and driving beats are accompanied by. Andri uses continuously vocals and hall-effects. He varies them sometimes short to long and flavours it with dirty and sometimes clean beats. The gross contrasts make up the unique soaring tension of his productions and live sets. “Groove is the lubricating oil between my musical imaginations and the musical reality on the dance floor. This energy exchange is the fuel cell, which the story about my music can be told again and again with.” Those who book Andri get not only rocking live sets from a convinced party freak but a compact dance floor story with sexy deepness factor.
