Biography of Sarah Goldfarb
The female pseudonym of Sarah Goldfarb hides a male artist that lives in Marseille (one of the biggest and hottest cities, in the south of France), and who is definitively part of these new electronic emergent signatures.
Since 1994 Jean-Vince (his real name) has organized a lot of parties with local techno collectives on a register inspired from north american pioneers such as Richie Hawtin (and his experimental label M_nus) Jeffs Mills, Carl Craig and their direct heirs : Baby Ford, Ricardo Villalobos, Robag Wruhme, Luciano or Someone Else. The refined structures and the contained tempo of this minimal scene was just fascinating this DJ, even before representative and now famous labels such as Kompakt or Traum/Trapez became widely known and played in all (good) european dance-floors.
In 2001, Jean Vince, now recognized as one of the best local Djs, bought his first machines. If his DJ sets oscillates between minimal house and techno, his productions are a subtle mix between micro house and hypnotic techno. For his production Jean Vince chose the pseudonym of Sarah Goldfarb, its the name of the amphetamined grandmother in Darren Aranofskys Requiem For A Dream. Why ? This film was an aesthetic shock to this cinema lover (he completed studies in this field before investing himself completely into electronic music).
This female pseudonym brought him good luck. In 2003, becoming more and more famous, his productions were pressed by Colognes well known label Trapez. It was just the beginning : Sarah Goldfarb started working on regular basis with many other pretty well known labels all over Europe, such as Handeld or Treibstoff. And its with the latter, and especially with its owner Marcel Janovsky that a strong and friendly complicity was born : Sarah Goldfarb could release most of his productions on this german label.
However, being a freedom lover, in 2005 Jean Vince also helped create a new net label in his city, indigomagenta, releasing free tracks and taking inspiration from creative common licences philosophy.(www.indigomagenta.com) The label Roman, Photo was created a few months later with some of his friends, following his meeting with american great and emergent artist Someone Else who gave him the first (and smashing) Roman, Photo release a very, very good and promising start.
