Mein Kopf ist jetzt frei und ich kann ich mich auch wieder andern Sachen widmen.

Was passiert auf deinem Label Resident E,/ACA2017 Productions, geht es da noch weiter?
Ich habe einige Hardcore Releases und Events für 2012 in Planung. Ein neues the mover Album wird es auch geben.

Gibt es von dir eigentlich auch DJ-Sets online zum Anhören?
Livesets von Partys gibt es vermutlich einige, aber DJ-Sets weniger. Ich weiß, das sehr viele Djs zu Hause Sets aufnehmen und diese promotion-mässig online stellen, was bestimmt nicht falsch ist, aber ich kann das nicht. Ich brauche ein Publikum, sonst funktioniere ich nicht.

Wenn ich live spiele oder auflege, weiß ich z.b. fünf Minuten vorher nicht, mit welchem Song ich starten werde. Ich mache das spontan von meiner, und der Stimmung der Leute abhängig.

Hamburg ist ja nicht gerade eine Stadt, die für elektronische Musik bekannt ist, im Vergleich zu z. B. Berlin. Warum bist du ausgerechnet hierhin gezogen?
Ich war damals bei Warner Chappel zu Besuch, und habe mich hier sofort wohl gefühlt. Hamburg ist eine sehr schöne Stadt und man hat man eine Menge Möglichkeiten. Die Musik und  Club Szene hier ist sehr auf Kollaborationen ausgerichtet.

Frankfurt hat auch seine Vorteile, aber dort kocht jeder sein eigenes Süppchen. Die Events, die  wir in Hamburg auf die Beine gestellt haben, wären in Frankfurt nie möglich gewesen.

Was für einen Platz habt ihr mit Smash in Frankfurt eingenommen?
Kultstatus!  Wir sind damals zu Sven (Sven Väth) in die HR3 Clubnight gefahren um “Konstablerwache” premiere-mässig das erste mal der Öffentlichkeit vorzustellen. Sven hat den Song ohne vorher reinzuhören live im Radio gespielt.

Es war ein Riesenspaß. Sven ist vor Lachen am Dj Pult zusammengebrochen.

Am nächsten Tag donnerte dir der Track in Frankfurt aus fast jedem vorbeifahrenden Auto entgegen. Das Wort “Korreckt” wurde Salonfähig.

Die Konstablerwache ist ja einer der Hauptumschlagplätze für Dope in Frankfurt, und daher sind wir wegen Drogenverherrlichung nicht für die Media Control Charts zugelassen worden, obwohl wir 3 mal auf der Warteliste standen.

Heutzutage wäre das ja ein Witz, aber damals war es schon ein fetter Skandal.

Es gibt Leute, die behaupten, dass du der Erfinder der verzerrten Bassdrum bist. Ist das so?
Mescalinum United “We have arrived” war der erste Track, der komplett verzerrt war. Ich habe beim Mixen die Kanäle immer und immer lauter gedreht, und irgendwann war alles total verzerrt.

Das ist normalerweise der Punkt, wo man wieder von vorne anfängen würde und alles runterdreht, aber das klang so extrem cool, das ich es so gelassen habe.

Als ich den Song das erste Mal live gespielt habe, ist der Toningenieur beim Soundcheck durchgedreht, denn er dachte die PA fliegt gleich auseinander.

“We have arrived” wurde 1991 veröffentlicht, und wird deswegen heute, als der erste Hardcore Techno Song weltweit gehandelt.

Wenn du live unterwegs bist, wo spielst du am meisten, am liebsten?
Am meisten spiele ich in Italien, Holland und Belgien. In Deutschland bin ich eigentlich relativ wenig, ausser hier bei uns im Norden. Ich bin Resident im Mega-Parc in Lübeck, und war vorher Resident im New Bambu in Neustadt. Viele Grüsse an die beste Crew und beste Crowd!

Ein jährliches Highlight ist auf jeden Fall die “Memorabilia”, zu deutsch “Erinnerung”, im Cocorico in Riccione Italien, wo ausschließlich Oldschool läuft.

Das ist der Wahnsinn, man hat immer das Gefühl, dass dort die Zeit stehen geblieben ist.

5000 Leute, der Club ist eine Pyramide aus Glas, Funktion One PA. Hexenkessel pur. Eine einzigartige Stimmung.

Kannst du eine Geschichte mit uns teilen, die dir beim Livespielen passiert ist?
Ich habe mal in New York gespielt, es war noch sehr früh, und der Club war erst ca. zu 1/3 voll. Draußen haben noch sehr viele Leute vor der Tür gewartet. Plötzlich kam die Feuerwehr und hat die Party wegen Überfüllung beendet.

Die haben ganz andere Richtlinien als wir. Das war krass, denn es war die Geburtstagsparty von Lenny D., einem guten Freund von mir, der damals “We have arrived” in Amerika veröffentlich  hat.

Sehr sehr schade, da fliegt man nach New York und erlebt so etwas.

2011 ist ja nun fast vorbei, was war denn dein musikalisches Highlight dieses Jahr?
James Blake hat mich definitiv umgehauen. Den hab ich erst vor ein paar Wochen für mich entdeckt, als mir ein Freund “Limit to your love” vorgespielt hat. Ich war so ergriffen, dass ich mir sofort die CD bestellt habe. Das ist ungelogen die beste Platte seit Erykah Badu “New Amerykah Part One (4th World War), die ich seit Jahren gehört habe.

Ich stehe momentan auch sehr auf die ganzen Dirty House-Teile, die klingen zum Teil wie Oldschool Hardcore.

Es kommt leider nur noch sehr wenig Musik raus, die meinen Nerv trifft. Es geht nur noch um Party Party in der Musik heutzutage, es fehlt die Emotion, die Leidenschaft in den Produktionen.

Was passiert 2017?
Kein Kommentar!

Interview by Chrissie Klass. Dec. 2012

When can we hear the new single? Will there also be a vinyl? Would you at all be o.k. with a pure digital release?
Not before next year and we are still not sure about a digital release, maybe we will start a own label called “love yeah”. So more infos about this soon.

Is there any remarkable change in your music-style?
It should sound sexy and robotic as always.

Are you still organizing parties/concerts in Stuttgart or elsewhere?
From time to time theres is a chelsea girls party in temporary locations in stuttgart as well as several rework dj gigs. In February next year we are playing at the meant label night at “showcase” paris.

What are you listening to theese days?
Daniel likes to listen to Bob Dylans theme time radio hour and everything from sushitech and pampa. Michel is listening to everything and Sascha is listening to Wham!

Have you ever been wearing bomber jackets??
The last time i saw Sascha she was wearing a fur. Theres a photograph of Daniel in a blue bomber jacket waistcoat with outstreched tongue and Michel wants one for christmas.

How did you get in touch with JT? How did the idea of doing a remix come?
I first knew about Jeans Team in 2006. I listened to their LP “Musik von Oben”. I found them very cool and sophisticated. We had common friends and I met them in 2007, when they went to Madrid to play in one of the “Vuélvete Underground” parties, but I began to know them more when I started to go to Berlin for some short-visit trips. When I knew they where going to release new tracks, I asked them if they could be interested in having some remixes. I love the concept of remixing and I really wanted to try to do something with one of their songs.

Tell us about your music, when did you start making it and why? what was the inicial event?
I started to learn in 2003, when I was 20 and had gone back to Madrid after living in the UK for almost a year. I remember watching Laurie Anderson live in Edinburgh, performing “Happiness” in the Spring of 2003. That show really impacted me. I was amazed to see her creating such an intense atmosphere alone, only playing her devices and talking. I think I always wanted to do something artistic, especially related to music, but I first thought then that I could try to do something beautiful by myself, using electronic devices and without the obligation of having to form a band. A few weeks later I went to Sónar and saw Tujiko Noriko live, playing with almost only a laptop. It was something new for me and it fascinated me as well, how could someone develop all those sounds and layers using a single machine. Nowadays laptops are everywhere and the fascination is less, but if I think a little bit about it, it still fascinates me in a way. From that moment I wanted to have my own laptop and do my music, and began to save money to buy one.

LINCE is a solo project, isn’t it? what kind of sounds and instruments are you interested in and use?
Yes, LINCE is a solo project. My first musical works have been ambient, electro-acoustique pieces. I think I will always continue doing that kind of stuff, but now I´m also interested in producing dance music. I was always interested on dance music, but not still as a producer. Laptop is the basic tool for my work, but I also incorporate other sounds from external instruments, like electric guitar or piano, record voices or introduce elements taken from field recordings.

What about the process, how is compositing and recording?
I think I spend a long time imagining, thinking about the concepts of the releases and the things I would like to express. Later I just start to work until I have something I like. After working hard beautiful things come normally out.

And how do you imagine the ideal situation to listen to your music?
The first CD, “GOLPE DE LUZ”, was expected to be an ambient album, with whom the listener could have an introspective experience. The next work I have on mind should be something more rhythmical, sensual and hedonistic.

Which releases do you have until now? And for the future, what is to come?
I self released my first LP, GOLPE DE LUZ. Two late singles from tracks of GOLPE DE LUZ are almost ready. I have also plenty of strange pieces, experimental cuts which- with the time- took form to be some kind of EP release. I´m working also on a couple of dance tracks, which I´d like to become my first club music single. My plan is to release the singles and the EP this year, while I work on the next album.

As we see, your project has a strong relation with aesthetics, how important is this? And why is that so?
I love when musicians surround their work with beautiful art-work. I consider that a vey important part of the proposal, as it can have a strong message. The main question is if the music is good or not, but when it is, and the art-work surrounding the music is also good, the artistic piece becomes something better, more magical and fascinating. Since I was very young, I loved when the albums had beautiful covers and booklets. That made me admire more the artist and enjoy more his work. I love how the movie stars from the golden Hollywood years could look so great on the pictures and promo-photographs. There was some kind of concept of unreachable beauty, admired, idealized from the distance, and that made them so desired and ideal. When there´s mistery and charm (in the different ways it can be conceived) it´s easier for me to get into something and to be able to dream. I think that´s why I´m interested in a beautiful and thrilling image. I think that can help to make things more interesting and exciting.

Can you mention some influences in your personal approaching to the art, music or life in general?
I have always on my mind the models of the artists who have inspired me since very young, but I find often wonderful new people doing great stuff and they influence me as well. I´ve met lots of people who have influenced me, but there´s someone who did really mark me: Cocó Ciëlo. Cocó is and will always be a permanent reference- artistic and personally- for me.

Tell us about your Dj facet, which kind of music you play and what mood do you want to create?
I like DJs who make me dance and have fun, but I like them more when I also have a sophisticated and artistic experience. When I play I have that concept on mind, but after exploring lots of different artists and labels when getting ready for a DJ Set, at the end I just play music I like, tracks that move me.

LINCE

His first LP, “GOLPE DE LUZ”- a collection of slow, intimate and nostalgic songs recorded between 2007 and 2009-, would be released in autumn 2009. Since then, he made a collaboration with the US experimental artist Zan Hoffman [The Twists And Turns Of The Loved And d C - ZH27, 2010] and started to explored new territories- conceptual and formally- for a new LP, while never stopping working as DJ on a sophisticated, avant-garde, uptempo club sound, with whom he takes his love for dance music and most hedonistic side out.

LINCE has given live and DJ shows at places like the mythical club OUI in Madrid- where he was one of the resident DJs between 2007 and 2010-, Stardust (Madrid), Cuántica Festival (Granada, ES), Monkey Town (New York, USA), the Alpha-Ville Festival (London, UK) , and Monster Ronson´s, Stattbad Wedding, M.I.K.Z. or the Temporäre Kunsthalle in Berlin.
