Henrik Schwarz
Beschreibung zur Veranstaltung:
Henrik Schwarz was born and raised in South Germany where he also took his
first musical steps as a DJ in local Clubs playing Rap, Hip Hop, Rare Groove
and Jazz and Detroit Techno. Soon after he started to spin regularly he was
also interested in computer music production and started to do his own
tracks in 1992 with a few drummachines and synths. When he got his first
Laptop in 1998 he began integrating it in his DJ-Sets and soon the Laptop
played an important role in all his music activities. The software got
better and better and Henrik was enjoying the new possibilities.
1999, after he had finished his studies in Graphic Design, Henrik decided to
move to Berlin and worked as a Graphic Designer for several years. By-and-by
things developed nicely also on the music side and he had the chance to
found his own label SUNDAY-MUSIC together with Sasse who had just released
Henrik's first ever Vinyl 12" called "SUPRAVISION EP" on his label Moodmusic
Records. "Marvin", one of the tracks on the record, got attention from many
DJs around the world, especially BBC's Gilles Peterson took it in his show
and played it with immediate effect. From that moment things made a great
leap forward for Henrik: He received first remix requests and started to
travel to the UK and other European countries. His next releases "Jon" on
SUNDAY-MUSIC and especially "Chicago" on MOODMUSIC became very successful
and made him shift his activities more and more from Design towards music
production and travelling.
Over the last years with international bookings all around the globe Henrik
improved his HENRIK SCHWARZ LIVE show and is now one of the most requested
live acts in the dance scene. At the same time Henrik produced a string of
very well received remixes and own tracks: WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES for
Coldcut on Ninjatune became one of the biggest club hits of 2006, LEAVE MY
HEAD ALONE BRAIN bridged the gap between Jazz and Techno and Soul and was
super well received by Deejays from Hip-Hop to House to Techno and became
the biggest hit for SUNDAY-MUSIC so far. Until today he has remixed many
very well known names like Mari Boine (Universal), Kuniyuki (Mule Musiq),
Tosca (G-Stone), Ethnic Heritage Ensemble (Deeper Soul), James Brown, Dark
Globe feat. Boy George, Omar feat. Stevie Wonder, Jazzanova, Jesse Rose,
Detroit Experiment, and many others. Today many fans are awaiting his debut
album which is in the works effectively since a few weeks.
2006, as a result of him getting more and more known by a wider audience,
Henrik was asked by !K7 to do one of their famous DJ-Kicks series and the
result has been regarded as "one of the highlights of the series" and led to
another cooperation of the label and Henrik: HENRIK SCHWARZ LIVE recorded on
CD featuring recordings from his intoxicating live shows from all over the
world.
With Dixon and Âme from Innervisions Henrik released "Where We At" with
Derrick Carter on Vocals which became an instant classic and marked the
beginning of a fruitful and close collaboration between Henrik and
Innervisions until today with successful releases and remixes like AMAMPONDO
AND HENRIK SCHWARZ - I EXIST BECAUSE OF YOU, ANE BRUN - HEADPHONE SILENCE
(Henrik Schwarz Remix, Dixon Edit), Crocodile IV-RMX for UNDERWORLD, HOLD MY
HAND IV-RMX for UNKLE and many others culminating in the first unforgetable
Live show of the dreamteam together "A CRITICAL MASS" in Amsterdam in 2008
with more gigs in 2009!
