Two in One - Sten and Lawrence - at this Tech-verg!
Клубные российские · 04.04.2005
A live performance by Sten aka Lawrence will take place at the internet pub "Phlegmatic Dog" as part of Anton Kubikov's Tech-vergi project. Guttersnipe - Live and DJs Kubikov B-Voice and Meshkov will also perform. Sten is also known as Lawrence (dial/kompakt/mute/ghostly international) - Lawrence is also known as Sten (sender/dial/kompakt). The first EP single by Sten, the dance alter ego of producer Peter Kersten, also known as Lawrence, was instantly taken up by DJs such as Sven Vath, Andre Galuzzi, and Tobias Thomas. Within a few days, it was sold out: Music recorded by him as Lawrence delighted the guys from Depeche Mode and Daniel Miller from Mute records, while Martin L. Gore and Goldfrapp asked him for a remix. Now Sten will make them all dance.
His album will be released at the end of October, and it will hit the press in October/November. In November/December, he plans a European tour. A live performance, rich in minimalism but creating maximum mood – we are talking about a DJ who loves spinning vinyl until noon the next day, a techno lover and euphoric dancer.
1989. Front Club in Hamburg: Chicago house, acid, Detroit techno. Sweat runs down the walls, neon lights shine, the sound is incredible. The DJ launches a new melody into the crowd – a couple of seconds, and the dance floor will jump, shout, sing, and adore the track - "It Is What it Is". At that moment, Lucky realizes that this addiction will never go away. Sten, also known as Peter M. Kersten, fell into this addiction at that very crazy moment. Techno and its machines will never leave his life. Roland TB303, the standard since the Phuture's "Acid Tracks", the bell sample from "U Ain't Really House (Farley Jackmaster Funk) 1987" is as beautiful today as it was then, and the synthetic strings on "It Is What it Is" will elicit ecstatic joy for many years to come. However, without sinking too deeply into nostalgia for the days gone by, this endless feeling inspired Sten to turn the very shape of his life into the mood of "Leaving The Frantic". This is music that will never stop – today's stars, such as Villalobos, Ada, Abe Duku, Karsten Jost, Michael Mayer – they don't care too much about innovation. Their techno music is a result of the past and the present. The moment of emergence can be compared, in this case, to the feeling in the club – your eyes are closed, you can't stop dancing. The result of parallel dreams with machines will be moments of techno life in the future. Sten has been contributing to minimalist techno since his first 12-inch "TV" in 2002. Some tracks made it into compilations by Sven Vath, Andre Galuzzi, and Tobias Thomas, a number of compositions were released all in the same 12-inch format on Sender records. Sten's moods, sounds structured into intense playbacks, arrive just in those club moments when you want to close your eyes and escape the frenzy. But the works from the cool, Nordic DJ and musician have never been simple tools for club parties. In the harmonies and sound lies something visual, verbal, what we know of Sten's alter ego - Lawrence. From the height of his endless manic passion for music, addiction to techno sound, Sten tells us what Adonis said back in 1986: No Way Back!
Reminder: from 9 PM to 5 AM every Thursday, a live broadcast from Phlegmatic Dog is available on radio www.technowave.ru, and besides that, all recordings of past parties can be listened to at techno.44100.com
