Biografía
- This is the new project by Christian Prommer and Alexander Barck, aka PROMMER & BARCK. You surely know them since both of them are around in the dance business for a long time and are responsible for many quality releases and dj sets alike. Alexander B..What a journey! Well, these guys have had so many experiences and numerous discoveries – they’ve gone through: Rave, Jazz, Krautrock, Garage, Detroit, House, Hip-Hop, Disco, Folk, Dubstep, Electronica, Funk, Punk, Wave, Chicago House, handmade music and Soul. Oh, those nights at clubs, the records, the shelves, the dirt in the second-hand record shops, the stacked audio- and studio magazines in their toilets or elsewhere in the house, the hours spent making their own radio-shows, hundreds of hotels checked in and out of, dozens of sound-checks done. Last but not least, the revivals, the subgenres, the fusion – well these peeps have given real influential input into some of these (sub)genres in the past. If we generally agree with the thesis, that 90 % of these musical genres are boring, mainly crap, commercial, rip-offs or trivial, then all that’s left is 10 % of really good music. This is the kind of music we like. Music which we would take to a lonely island, tunes which can rarely be played in clubs, records we would never sell, music so awe-inspiring it brings you to your knees or has you being afraid to share it as a file. We are talking about tunes, which changed the life and world of Christian Prommer and Alex Barck. Talking about groundbreaking influences. Well, these guys’ are so wide-ranged, that a young foolish nerd could never compete with them. No doubt, you have to attest: these guys internalised thousands of records, hundreds of thousands of songs, of which only a small part at all belongs to those 10% of inspiring music. Furthermore they, we, you are always discovering something new in those gems that these 10% are. You can call it love for music – someone may interrupt: better call it “love for detail”. But, isn’t it a concentrated passion, which is lying very closely to addiction and meticulousness. It has been influencing daily life, relationships, everything, twenty-four-seven, for 25 years and ongoing. So, besides a lot of fun, it is also hard candid work.
