Arne Weinberg Biography

Born 1973 and raised in south Germany Arne was influenced as a young kid by his mother and her varied musical tastes. 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 those 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 authenticly. Armed only with a few pieces of gear he started to do his first real tracks and soon got a record deal with the 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, labelowner of the Dutch Groundzero/Keynote label, and got his second release, the "Snowflake EP" in 2002.

After that a lot of 12“s followed, released on labels such as Starbaby, Down Low, Headspace and Technoir Audio (together with Shawn Rudiman).

Many more projects have been realised since that, including releases on Matrix Detroit, Styrax etc..

2004 was the birth year of Arne Weinberg’s own label, AW-Recordings with artists such as The Moderator, Sean Deason, Duplex, DJ 3000, Erell Ranson, Kubra, Convextion, Deixis and Arne himself.

Finally his first album was released in early 2007 and gained a lot of attention all around the globe.

In the beginning of 2008 Arne and his label moved to Glasgow where he concentrates on his own productions, his label imprint and the deep sides of soulful electronic music.

The Youngsters – Babylon Superstars [20:20 Vision]

For the younger dancers on today’s floors, the standout track ‘Babylon Superstars’ is positively modern minimal and deserving of some kind of Isolée-esque treatment. I prefer ‘Fukuoaka Underground’ here though – deep, emotional French techno with a large dollop of Motor City. An absolute beauty.

Tracklisting:

• 01. Babylon Superstars
• 02. Babylon Superstars (Simon Baker’s Infant mix)
• 03. Fukuoaka Underground
