TIME OUT NEW YORK
This track, from DJ Hell’s fine Teufelswerk album, pairs two generations of iconic roués, with Ferry’s world-weary voice and lyrics the perfect complement to Hell’s melancholic melody. Charted as one of top 10 club music of 2009
DJ MAG
A DJ Hell/Bryan Ferry collaboration is never going to be mundane, but this surpasses expectations. 'U Can Dance' is a lost Roxy Music track rendered into a contemporary club classic by the visionary hands of HELL. Add into this conspiracy of talent remixes from Carl Craig (who creates two strokes of pure genius), DFA's effortless helms-man Tim Goldsworthy and Simian Mobile Disco on their most on-point form, and you hardly need us to tell you: you need this. 5 stars.
CLASH MAGAZINE
Here we get glammed up techno, the likes of which we've not heard for a while. It's dated romantic vocals are its charm. Driving nocturnal bass keeps heads down on this tip whilst a standout remix from Sir Carl Craig sees him up the narcotic synth stabs to epic proportions. Robert Hood would be proud. A great single delivered by a triptych of true, if disparate legends.
DMC ZZUB CHART
The stunning fashionista anthem from 'Teufelswerk'. In it’s original form 'U Can Dance' features the iconic Bryan Ferry doing his distinctive crooning over percolating sophisticated Moroder-esque disco rhythms, and it works like a marriage made in heaven. With remixes from Carl Craig, Tim Goldsworthy and Simian Mobile Disco who round off the package with roof raising spaced out electronics and a hypnotic driving groove. Massive. No.1 for 2 weeks

THE GUARDIAN
'The DJ' on which P Diddy shouts a lot about "motherfuckers" is
one of the most ridiculous, brilliant things you will have heard in a long time.
MELODICA
Hell’s 'The DJ' is a magnificent single, massive, huge tune.
AFI KHAN / BBC RADIO
Great! Crazy beats & perfect vox.
In the box and number 3 in the Terrorist playlist. 5/5
PULSE RADIO
A package like this invites a pondering of how essential such a vocal is.
Each production here shine in their own right and with differing auras,
but it's MC Puffin's rattled babble that pushes them towards mediocrity.
WILLIE GRAFF
Cool vocals from Diddy.Extended trip version by Radio Slave is very nice.
It just keeps going andit never leaves you bored. Very nice!
RESIDENT ADVISER
Hell's ‘The DJ’ is something special.
When Diddy talks about "15 or 20 minute versions,"
it sounds silly & out-of-place. 4,5/5
365
‘The DJ’ is a refreshingly dirty (oxymoron) mix feat. the vocals of P.Diddy,
who has found a way to contribute to a legitimate dance track the best way he can.
Tocotronic's single taken from their new album 'Schall & Wahn' - 'Macht Es Nicht Selbst'
is out now with HELL's ambient house pop extravaganza version.

Patrick Mohr FW 2010 Collection feat. Music by HELL
Helmut Geier, aka DJ Hell of International DJ Gigolos, has long been a part of the fashion scene. He plays often for couture and prêt-à-porter shows and even produced a mix compilation for Chanel.
Recently, Geier has been exploring the fashion world from a different angle, as a designer. After providing the music for one of their runway shows, he developed a relationship with Austrian label Wendy&Jim and has since collaborated on a line of underwear for the team—now “Wendy&Jim & Hell.”
The line, consisting of three different styles in varying fabrics—pure organic cotton, lightweight mesh and lace is available in select boutiques around the world, and will also be launching its second collection the spring 2010.
Freudenhaus meets HELL
“Music and fashion have always been my passion” - says Helmut Geier a.k.a DJ HELL, renowned for his affinity with his sunglasses. Therefore the latest collaboration between HELL & Freudenhaus should come as no surprise. And the product of this collaboration is the unisex aviator glasses designed exclusively for the Munich-based eyewear label.
This black beauty reflects darkness and sleekness, something that HELL has always explored as an artist. This juxtaposition can be seen in HELL's recent single 'The Angst pt. 1 & 2', a dramatically beautiful and dark track full of emotion with a hint of gothic misadventure, much like the iconic figure himself, who indulges this fascination towards designers like Dior, Margiela and Raf with classicism.
The limited edition 500 pairs of Beauté Noire features smokey deep-lilac lenses set within a dark brushed-metal frame with delicate silver studding around the lenses, accompanied by a special Design HellTM signature case, and will be available through the Freudenhaus website and at selected boutiques across the world from November 2009.
Followers of the German techno icon will know that he is fond of grand statements. And this time he’s spot on: Teufelswerk – German for “Devil’s Work” – is Hell’s masterpiece. Across 16 exquisite tracks divided into two themes, “Night” and “Day”, Hell weaves an intoxicating spell. The nocturnal side offers a contemporary interpretation of Chicago house and Detroit techno. It's sunnier sister disc finds Hell embracing the rich cosmic groove of his roots. A lush, narcotic odyssey, the album sounds unlike anything he’s produced in the past. But at the same time, Hell has drawn on his wealth of experience and put everything he knows into Teufelswerk.
“The album is very personal,” he says. “All my knowledge is there. I went back really far to the early-’70s. I don’t think I can make a better record.”
Coming from Hell, whose life mirrors his art, that’s saying something. A cultural chameleon with an encyclopedic musical knowledge and a bold sense of style, Hell has carved a reputation as the Warhol – or should that be War-hell? – of our generation.
“Andy Warhol was a people's champion. He ruled the world in his way,” says Hell, who once dressed as the pop artist for a photo shoot. “The Factory was pushing art, music, films and whatever you can think about every day. He was a rule breaker. He knew how to play and how to motivate people.”
When Hell launched his International Deejay Gigolos Empire in 1996, his rebellious creative streak gave the label a punk DIY aesthetic. An open-ended techno imprint with a natural pop sensibility, Gigolo immediately stood out and attracted like-minded artists such as Fischerspooner, Vitalic, Miss Kittin & the Hacker, Tiga, even the Pet Shop Boys, Jeff Mills and Dopplereffekt. Today, Gigolo in Berlin is to Hell what the Factory in New York was to Warhol. Like Warhol, Hell is the man with the vision, whose enthusiasm and inspiration to this day is fueled by, and rubs off on, the close-knit family of musicians, fashion designers, photographers, film makers, video artists and actors who surround him. Fans of the label will remember the short-lived collaboration with Amanda La Pore, who can often be found in the Gigolo logo and on the Tiga & Zyntherius Video for “Sunglasses at Night.” There are many examples of Gigolo and Hell blurring the lines between music and art, a popular aesthetic in Hell’s arsenal and one that was celebrated in two gallery exhibitions; one in London, and one in Berlin both in 2007.
Hell – once, a long time ago, Helmut Geier – is 46 years old and has DJed for more than half those years. In 1985, he was one of the first in Germany to DJ house music, back when Steve ‘Silk’ Hurley made the first Chicago house tracks. Later, through Gigolo, he put out lost classics by Chicago house legends Bobby Konders and DJ Pierre. He also re-released what’s considered the first Detroit techno song, “Sharevari” by A Number of Names, and rekindled the career of new-wave heroes Tuxedomoon. One of Gigolo’s key releases is Hell’s compilation of early-’80s German post-punk, New Deutsch.
In 1992, Hell’s haunting debut single, “My Definition of House Music” became a dancefloor hymn, selling 50,000 copies. Three years later, Hell recorded a live BBC John Peel Session in Munich, which came out as the “Original Street Techno” EP. As a producer, Hell has covered a lot of ground. He’s one of the pioneers of German house and techno, and today, as Teufelswerk attests, he’s in the finest form of his life.
Perhaps because he is so successful and does whatever he pleases, cutting a glamorous swathe through electronic music, the media tend to be kind to him. In the early days, they called Hell “das gute gewiessen des deutschen techno”, which means “the good soul of German techno”. No stranger to receiving awards for his prowess in the music business, in 2002, he was crowned Man of the Year by GQ magazine.
Those familiar with Hell’s earlier albums, 1998’s Munich Machine and 2004’s NY Muscle, will recognize the “Night” half of this double-album. A raw mix of Chicago and Detroit influences combined with Hell’s swashbuckling approach to electronics, this portion is for the dancefloor. Ten-minute jams such as “Wonderland” and “Electronic Germany” zoom and thrust with menacing intent. “The Disaster”, the single produced by Hell and longstanding collaborators Mijk van Dijk and &Me, is the kind of labyrinthine techno trip that will disorientate any dancefloor.
“The “Night” album is what people expect from a guy like me,” says Hell, who spins three of four times most weekends around the world. “I choose a lot of producers in different studios with different sounds and put my flavor there. It is from a DJ for the other DJs”
“Bodyfarm”, a sinister cut co-produced by Frankfurt’s Antony Rother, was inspired by the unsettling images of Taryn Simon, an American photographer and fine artist specializing in uncovering rarely seen sites from the domains of science and government (please visit tarynsimon.com). For “Night”, Hell hooked up once more with hip-hop superstar P. Diddy for freestyle jack-track and future single, “The DJ”. The pair had worked before on “Let’s Get Ill” and “Check This”.
The most pleasant, eyebrow-raising moment here is the collaboration with Bryan Ferry, “U Can Dance”. This serpentine disco burner, a smoldering highlight of Teufelswerk, finally unites two of modern pop’s suavest outsiders.
“I am very proud to work with Bryan Ferry, of course,” says Hell, who encountered the singer in London when he was asked to remix Roxy Music a couple of years ago. Hell pruned "U Can Dance" in Vienna with his old friend Peter Kruder, of Kruder and Dorfmeister fame. Here, in Kruder's G-Stone studio, assisted by noted multi-instrumentalists Christian Prommer and Roberto Di Gioia, Hell and Kruder wrote and produced the "Day" half of Teufelswerk. This is Hell's enchanting interpretation of Kosmische Musik, that style of '70s psychedelic experimental boogie played by Can and NEU! This is the music that inspired the beginning of Hell's career.
“I have done Kosmische Musik in a new way,” he says. “This is where I come from, I grew up with the early German electronic pioneers of music, and this is why I went in this direction. Often it is called German electronic avant-garde, or psychedelic music. I went back to the ’70s and tried to do it in my own way."
Listen to “The Angst”, the lead single from Teufelswerk, and you’ll appreciate the direction Hell is taking with Peter Kruder at the controls. Celestial vocals cascade around an acoustic guitar figure as a motorik rhythm propels it ever skywards, sharing space, spiritually at least, with Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk and Can.
On “Day”, “Germania”, “Hell’s Kitchen” and “I Prefer Women to Men Anyway” unravel with sinuous grace, culminating in a cosmic reading of Hawkwind’s “Silver Machine”. Hell is no stranger to covers, having tackled Barry Manilow’s “Copacabana,” Throbbing Gristle's “Hot On The Heel’s” and German No-Wave band No More’s “Suicide Commando” on Munich Machine. Although Hell was born in 1962, he was too young to fully appreciate the likes of Tangerine Dream and Amon Duul in their mid-’70s prime. He was more into Slade and Sweet. “Pop and glam-rock was more appealing to me because these bands looked great and were all over the TV.” By the time Hell was old enough to dig Kosmische Musik, punk had arrived and he was into the Damned, who sounded new, fresh and powerful.
For Hell, then, Teufelswerk rounds up his life’s work so far – and he has already led a remarkable life. It is dramatic, beautiful, dark and soulful, a milestone in German electronic music. “Teufelswerk represents the music in the best way: it’s the work of the devil,” he says, “and it’s the work of me, the work of Hell.”

Sonicbids is an Artist and Promoters Worst Nightmare
Recently we began a trial usage of Sonicbids service for our artist and band searches.
As a result of that test it became clear that Sonicbids is all about earning money at the expense of artists looking to break through the wall that surrounds the music industry.
Based on our experiences from both the perspective of artists we are associated with seeking to benefit from opportunities offered though Sonicbids. As well as from the perspective of promoters searching for talent through Sonicbids service.
We have concluded that Sonicbids operation is nothing more than another one of these money making SCAMS that is generating as much as $8,000,000.00 a year for Sonicbids at the expense of artists and bands paying subscription fees on top of submission fees to be considered by promoters utilizing Sonicbids services. Of which many of these Promoters are running nothing but a SCAM on artists or bands that apply.
First, you should be aware of where the money goes. For every dollar an Artist or Band pays for Sonicbids’ subscription fees, it goes directly into Sonicbids pockets. Second, the first $100.00 of every listing by a promoter, as well as 50% of all fees you pay for any listing also goes directly into the pockets of Sonicbids. This means that Sonicbids is, by our estimation, pocketing over 75% of all monies collect from unsuspecting artists and bands.
