10.28 周六 •The Halloween Hoax Day 2 - Fiedel

一场完美的派对体验就像闯入了现实生活的仙境，在令人着迷却潜藏危险的风景中一路狂奔。10/27&28，POTENT 邀请到两位 Berghain 常驻 —— Boris 与 DJ Fiedel 揭开万圣序幕。无论你是热衷于在 “sweet spot” 狂舞的 OG 玩家，还是初来乍到的舞池新手，在这里，时间无痕，语言无形，唯独享受这份冲破黎明的狂喜时刻。

Fiedel limitlessly undermines & overrides expectations. He's no average techno or house DJ. His sets build something new, while capturing the moment. Whether straight techno, banging 80's acid or electro funk: he always surprises.

Contrast. Objection. Antithesis. This is how you might start an attempt to describe the world. A seemingly chaos of shapes and thoughts that don't belong to each other. An overall image to be found in life and in music. But that's not how Fiedel views things. Where others make distinctions, he sees connections, where others find emptiness, he finds rooms full of opportunities.

Finding those harmonies, connections and contexts marks out his musical work. The synthesis of apparently opposing music, the interaction and the mix of styles and moods, without loosing the storyline, that makes out the characteristic Fiedel sound.

Born and raised in Brandenburg, he finds access to the music through various artists and styles in the mid 1980s. He was influenced by artists of the old school hip hop like Mantronix and Egyptian Lover and the early works of Depeche Mode and Kraftwerk. A very important influence was Monika Dietl’s radio show at Radio 4U in West-Berlin. Her show aroused the fascination and the longing for musical freedom and diversity, that was not possible in former Eastern Germany. Those impressions gave him a first feeling, a first vision of what should become alive later on.

After the wall came down, the way was open to access a fresh scene, and with it came a whole spectrum of new and old music to discover. In the beginning of the 1990s, he started DJing in public as a regular at the Monday events at Subversiv. Shortly after he began his collaboration with his befriended Errorsmith under the name of MMM. They released several productions and play live shows. Since 2000 he is resident at OstGut and later on at Berghain. On the compilation Fünf he had his first solo release on the incorporated Ostgut Ton label, followed by contributions to the compilations Various (2013) and Ostgut Ton | Zehn (2015). In 2012 he eventually founded his own label Fiedelone, to give his own productions a more personal base. In spring 2014 he developed a live set, which he premiered at Berghain. March 2017 saw his first full Ostgut Ton release with the 12" Substance B, followed up by his contribution to the Berghain mixes series in January 2018.

无论是纯正的 techno、80年代 acid 或是 electro funk，Fiedel 总能超越舞池的期待。他热衷于在混乱中寻求和谐、在情绪互动中传递故事情节，反差、异议、对立是构建其经典声音的关键词。Fiedel 成长于勃兰登堡，上世纪80年代 Depeche Mode 与 Kraftwerk 早期作品激发了他对音乐多样性的迷恋与渴望。

柏林墙倒塌后，Fiedel 前往传奇唱片店 Hard Wax 开始了朝圣之旅，得益于此他开始在 DIY 派对 Subversiv 的活动崭露头角，并创立了当地最受欢迎的派对之一 Wax Treatment。1996年，Fiedel 与好友 Errorsmith 开始以 MMM 的身份合作，他们首张自发行《MMM 1》从最初便奠定了其独特的美学：用 techno、disco、hardcore、house、electro 等融合创作向过去致敬。

1997年由 Monolake 的 Robert Henke 进行母带后制的《Donna》一经面世即刻在地下世界引起轰动，其另类的编曲时至今日依旧令人着迷。2010年发行的大热曲目《Nous Sommes Mmm》同样是他们献给锐舞的赞歌。“MMM 的名字取自’Messe der Meister von Morgen’，即’xhibition or trade fair of the masters of tomorrow’。这是东德青少年科学竞赛的名称，旨在激励学生与青年工作者进行探索与发明，从而使社会变得更加紧密。”MMM 在 Fact Magazine 的采访中说道。

Fiedel 被视作柏林派对 peak time 的最佳选手，尝试在每一场演出打破人们对柏林声音的刻板印象，将流淌于这座城市的 techno 血脉与 Disco, UK-Born Music，Old-school Electro 以及 hi-NRG 相融合。2000年开始，Fiedel 先后成为 OstGut 与 Berghain 的常驻，并在 Ostgut Ton 旗下发行无数经典之作。

《Substance B》

继以制作人身份参与合辑 Fünf (2010), Various (2013) 与 Ostgut Ton | Zehn (2015) 之后，《Substance B》是他在 Ostgut Ton 发行的首张个人专辑，同名曲目被描述为 “high-energy, raving techno belter”。2012年，Fiedel 相继创立了自己的厂牌 —— 致力于个人创作的 Fiedelone 以及专注于合作项目的 Fiedeltwo，从而寻求更广阔的艺术自由与独立空间。2020年，Fiedel 再次推出黑胶厂牌 Super Sound Tool，表达他对音乐的恒久愿景：“Big sound before big names”。
