Electronic strolls between the legendary venues of 'Omen' & 'Box' in early 1990s Frankfurt taught Sebastian Scholz aka TOOTEKOOL his decidedly House & Techno roots.
Roots that, upon his shift to Shanghai, planted the unexpected beginnings of an electronic musical movement. A musical movement of necessity in what was the barren early 2000 climate of club culture & underexposed electronic sound in China.
And now, in our late 2000s, TOOTEKOOL has played the likes of Cocoon (Frankfurt) & Batofar (Paris); and in Asia heads Shanghai's premier Electronic Art Platform. A platform which instigated China's first Abelton Live Music Production Workshop, various Shanghai Jazz Scene collaborations, and a thriving number of artistic installations, performances & events. A platform which concentrates on integrating the electronic with the analogue, the visual with the audible, and brings & pushes artistes such as Jeff Milligan, Mathais Schaffaeuser & Sam Reynold to those on China's side of the seas.
The barren climate of Shanghai now breeds an alternative. A place where the electronic exists and where club culture is no longer only corporately driven.
A place where TOOTEKOOL; amidst having held and holding residencies, and having toured around all that is China, as well as heading what stands as Shanghai's premier Electronic Art Platform, now sets his sights on expanding his platform - and remains a driving force behind the continued success of this electronic journey.
