Read more Biography Joachim Spieth Producer & DJ As „very charming minimal house with Black Forest funk“ a reviewer from the United States once assessed the first publication of Joachim Spieth, born 1979 who – as nice as the misty-eyed gaze from overseas may be – doesn`t come from the solitude of the Black Forest, but from a contemplative hicktown near Stuttgart. “Abi 99”(“Abi” is the general qualification for university entrance) appeared in 1999 - as the title already suggests – at the freshly established label “Kompakt”, which combined the outrider labels of German minimal Techno, “Profan” and “Studio 1”, which up to that point had never featured any artist outside of Colognes naturally grown former Delirium posse of Cologne. When the exceptional british DJ and cult presenter John Peel played the Maxi shortly after its release in his legendary radio show, it became clear that the five years of research with synths and drum machines had been worth while. Inspired by the public interest, Spieth remixed Egoexpress on Ladomat during the following year, and added “You Don`t Fool Me”, the follow up-12 inch on “Kompakt” and – on the side - published his debut album “Fluchtpunkt” at the Cologne-Stuttgart label “onitor”. With the help of his ability to present a constant variable and diverse musical performance, he quickly was able to win new listeners within the dance music scene, his preferred terrain actually being somewhere between the intersection of minimal Technoscapes, grim sounding Techhouse and playful Ambient. A blend of influences that probably aren`t found in the back catalogue of WARP without reason. In 2003 The Orb-Mastermind Dr. Alex Patterson takes the track “You Don`t Fool Me” onto his “Back to Mine” compilation, as Joachim deals with the eighth part of the “Speicher” series on the side of “Kompakt” CEO Michael Mayer, and moves forward with the track “Under Pressure” in the best Cologne-stripped-Technostyle. Even Sven Väth notes the benevolent on his playlist. He stays true to this more robust style immediately, as “Schlag auf Schlag” on the “Kompakt” sublabel “Auftrieb” is born the same year. Miscellaneous Remixes follow (for Michael Mayer, Reinhard Voigt, Einmusik, Ego Express, Process, Apoll, Bjoern Stoplmann, Pigeon Funk, Wolfgang Hagedorn, etc.), as well as several compilation licensing, one further successful 12 inch on “Speicher” and a number of engagements as a DJ - a side of Joachim Spieth that not very many knew about until then. In the past two or three years that has drastically changed. He`s travelled in Germany and Europe, where he usually chose the narrow path between harsher House and rather minimalistic Techno, with which he succeeded well. “A set must be multifunctional () build up and break down pressure”, he explains – a statement that - especially in times of inflationary minimalisation - is not only very courageous, but musically also offers a constant welcome change. Even if the latest productions and DJ-Sets are less noisy, Joachim has always kept his weakness for massive beats and basses, for the felt beat – precisely for the one which makes people go nuts.
