"Authenticity is everything - without it everything would appear to be nothing
more than a hollow shell", says someone who has found himself at the centre
of the international techno scene since 2006. The passionate musician from
Bremen has become a heavy influence for an awful lot of producers
worldwide. With his album "Liebe ist." ('Love is.') Stephan Bodzin has
reached yet another highpoint in his career.
As the son of an experimental musician his career in the music industry was
set from an early age. And it was only a matter of time before Stephan would
fall in love with electronic music. Composing music for several prestigious
European theaters was the first successful platform for his music.
At the same time he discovered his passion for club sounds and increased
his efforts in this area. Due to the quality of his impressive music
he has reached the top of the international techno scene. He
has remixed songs for well-known bands such as Depeche Mode, Booka
Shade and The Knife. His releases can be found on labels such as Get
Physical, Datapunk, Gigolo, Systematic and Giant Wheel.
"Throughout my releases and all my collaborations I managed to let my ideas
flow freely and to develop my own style" Stephan explains. "I understood
that my personal definition of good and bad music is very dynamic and that's
why intuition is so important in this business". He describes himself as a
"melody man" - "after all it's the melodies that endure". The responses to his
productions seem to confirm this: his sounds are greatly loved in clubs
worldwide. DJ Hell himself has dubbed Stephan's tunes as the ground
breaking "Bremen sound".
It was a logical move to create his own label called "Herzblut" in 2006. As
part of the label-conglomerate Plantage 13 he has found the ideal creative
framework for his works.
His productions have done nothing but raise his worldwide profile even
more and he now has the freedom of an individual artist with a worldwide
audience.
"This was a massive step forward", he explains, "I produce music to share it,
and I can experience this great feeling in each of my gigs". On top of that
Stephan has created a phenomenal live set that he performes
around the globe.
Stephan's music is as polarizing as he is, both as DJ and live artist. But
there's one statement that holds true for all of his productions: they are
certainly of the highest 'authenticity'.
