Biography of Arne Weinberg

Born 1973 and raised in South Germany, Arne was influenced as a young kid by his mother and her varied musical taste. 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 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 authentically. Armed only with a few pieces of gear he started to do his first real tracks and soon got a record deal with Frankfurt based label Propaganda.

His first record, '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, label owner of the Dutch Groundzero/Keynote label, and got his second release, the 'Snowflake' EP in 2002. After that a lot of 12 inches followed, released on labels such as Starbaby, Down Low, Headspace and Technoir Audio to name a few.

In the future many other projects can be expected from him, for example releases on Matrix Detroit, Styrax and more. He is now living in the Frankfurt area where he concentrates on his own productions and the deep sides of soulful electronic music. He founded his own label, AW Recordings' in 2004. After several releases, his full debut album was released on AW in early 2007.
