Biografía
- "If I had to describe what house music means to me - it may sound vague - but all i can say is, house music is my motherland, my home… in the figurative sense, it's like a place where i really feel at ease." A strong statement from DJ André Hommen, who..André Hommen was introduced to the music he loves via the radio. Musically his hometown Nettetal in western Germany doesn't have much to offer at first glance, although more than a few world-famous producers started their career there in the mid nineties. The music at the parties of his young peers wasn’t interesting for André. Seminal radio-shows opened him the doors to a world of music, which was way more thrilling and intriguing to him. On one of these days he made his decision: House music with its warmth and its groove is the sound which shall become his musical home. André Hommen started mixing by himself; at first in his bedroom but soon at some underground parties in his home-region. André Hommen's life script continues to build traction with house music at it's center. He is part of the administrative and creative team behind Dennis Ferrer's New York City based Objektivity imprint and has had the opportunity to develop projects by artists including Ferrer, The Martinez Brothers, Loco Dice, Henrik Schwarz and more. In collaboration with the producer Gorge of the 8bit label, André Hommen's first release for Objektivity was created. His acclaimed debut title "Marashi" from 2009 was one of the most played tracks of that year. In 2010, another collaboration with Gorge followed. "Hakunyo" was released on Germany's cult-label "Plastic City. In 2011, East Coast house legend Dennis Ferrer has announced "No Difference”. For this release, Ferrer teamed up with his long-time touring partner, André Hommen, to drop a slab of stripped-down and funked- out deep house. The single features complicated chords, chopped-up male vocals, and creatively re-sampled percussion to arrive at a skeletal but effective track. "No Difference" came out on Objektivity and was played by nearly all big names of the worldwide house music scene. After a lot touring from 2011 - 2014, André finally found the time to go back in the studio. Following his well received remix of Ane Brun’s 'To Let Myself Go' on Objektivity, it was finally time for his very own, first ever solo EP called "The Bottom Line" mid 2014. This groovy number consists of three tracks that are style-wise all very different, showing off Hommen's wide range as producer. EP's title track 'The Bottom Line' was first featured in André's Boiler Room NY set (February, 2014), receiving great response and a massive "Track ID?" -explosion on social media. 'Epiphany' and 'Reach Out' on the B side do not disappoint either - as groovy as they are energetic, they would fit well in different stages of any set. We should be excited that more tracks by André Hommen are coming soon and if you see him perform in a distant club somewhere around the world, fear not for he is not homesick. André Hommen has found his home.̸2016 Dennis Ferrer - Son Of Raw (André Hommen Remix) / Objektivity 2015 Fritz Kalkbrenner - Void (André Hommen Remix) / SUOL André Hommen - Battery Park EP / Objektivity André Hommen - Introspectral EP / Poker Flat Tensnake - The Walk (André Hommen Remix) / True Romance 2014 Ane Brun - To Let Myself Go (André Hommen Remix) / Objektivity André Hommen - The Bottom Line EP / Objektivity Larse & Sneaky Sound System - This Feeling (André Hommen Remix) / Noir Music Pezzner feat.
