| "Slitch" alias André Sauerbier, 1980 was born in Thuringia in Eastern-Germany wich was already partitioned by the cold war. At his child-age music was already very important for him, so he started to learn playing several instruments, but never finished really to perfection... In the early 90..s at the age of 12, Germany just was reunited a short time ago, life turned over a new leaf. Everything changed after 40 years in times of shortage. People enjoyed their new freedom. They got a lot of new impressions, also a new kind of music emerged - simply made from a few audio-files and drum-samples composed on a computer, simple sequenzes, but absolutely hypnotising and full of energy. Slitch discovered his never-ending love - Technomusic! He visited innumerably of technoparties an became more and more fascinated by the art of playing with vinyl! So in 1997 he buyed his first turntables and vinyl and started DJ-ing himself. Soon he played his first gigs in tiny clubs in thuringia. 2003 he made his first steps in producing own tracks on his computer, pushed by the positive feedback from his friends he buyed his first professional studio hardware and refined his sound more and more... In 2007 Stefan Wenzel´s NetLabel "Unity Heart - The Schicker Company" attended on Slitch´s sound, and gave him the possibility to realease his first tracks, several EP..s and an album were following... Thus he determined to play his own music in the clubs and so he started to focus on live-performances. Today he.. is on the roll an mashes up the partycrowd all over Germany with his unmistakably pumpin.. live-mix that combines elements from Techno, GarageHouse, Minimal und Ambient... every set is an exciting eperience! |
