| biography |
ANTONELLI, aka Stefan Schwander from Düsseldorf, has been one of the
undisputed pioneers of german electronic minimal music for over a decade and
stands alongside such great names as The Modernist, Wolfgang Voigt or
Thomas Brinkmann. With his many pseudonyms such as A Rocket In Dub, Repeat
Orchestra, Rhythm Maker, Pop Up, Swimmingpool or Antonelli he continues to
inspire whole generations of producers as well as DJs.
Since the mid 90s, ANTONELLI has been making cutting edge electronic music.
His clear affinity for disco is reflected in flawless propulsive dance
grooves and the occasional anthemic refrain. Like the best tracks of GIORGIO
MORODER, his basslines bubble below a straight ahead beat, and the melody
brings the whole affair into ecstasy.
Most of his releases also reflect a bit of ANTONELLI's experimental side.
Though these are for the most part straight dance cuts, there are also nods
to the production styles of dub and modern abstract electronic music,
where sound manipulation produces unexpected tones and surprising rhythmic
complexities. His tracks are elaborate and detailed works of charming
minimalism ranging from dancefloor hits (albums: "Me, The Disco Machine",
“Click” and 12"s: The Vogue feat. Miss Kittin, Mean Machine) to the soft and
beautiful ambient arrangements on his latest album “The Blackout Quintet”
released on ITALIC.
ANTONELLI however is his major project , and Schwander has spent a lot of
time over the last few years taking it live to cities as far afield as
Tokyo, Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, Moscow, London and Copenhagen.
Beside his live activities he is also very active on the remix front, and
has cooperated with Michael Mayer, Freestyle Man, Farben, Lawrence, Steve
Bug, Ego Express, Elektro Music Department, Oliver Hacke, Error Error, Mondo
Grosso to name but a few. |
