Brixton - Hard To Mix Drop Bass Network Acid Trax - Nov 2007

Biography of Brixton

Brixton was born on the 24th May 1971 in Oppeln. In 1983 he moved with his family to the Rheinland in Germany. Highly influenced by the first electronic disco sounds, he ended up playing his first DJ-set at Space-Club in 1988 to a large and very inspired audience of clubbers. In this moment Brixton knew that electronic music would be with him for the rest of his life. In the following years his DJ-sets took all the well-known European clubs by storm. Finally, in 1990, after several successful years behind the turntables, Brixton brought out his first record. Not long after he brought out other records on diverse record labels (Analog-Records, Drop Bass Network, U-turn and EMF).

By 1994 Brixton was ready to go his own way and it was in this year that he founded the label 'Holzplatten.' First he had a few releases, but in time 'Holzplatten' became a platform for international DJs and artists in the German speaking regions. In 1997, on his Radioshow, 'Subsonic' (broadcast weekly on Evosonic), he would introduce the newest Electronic Dance Music releases. Brixton produced and played Techno of the widest variety, from banging Acid-Techno to the more modern, simply structured Minimal-Techno.

In 1998, after some 30 releases on his label 'Holzplatten,' Brixton founded two additional labels: Kazumi and SimpleMuzik. With these two labels, Brixton wanted and wants to give new and young artists the chance to gain recognition for their innovative music. Due to the growing demand on these labels, meanwhile Brixton unfortunately didn't find so enough time to produce his own records anymore.
But now he's back in the pits and will release his very first longplayer 'eTechno.de' on Holzplatten in October. If Brixton is ever playing in your area or can be heard live, then it's definitely worth a visit.
