Hawkinson – Simply Techno.
When Techno essentially would be a big tree
with branches like Minimal or Electro style
then Hawkinson would be the trunk of that tree.
While others have jumped on the bandwagon’s that have come and gone,
Hawkinson knew from the first day where he belonged - simply techno.
His first inspirations came from the same sources as most guys in the business too – Kraftwerk, Jean Michel Jarre, New Order, Depeche Mode and Front 242 or Nitzer Ebb.
The difference is: he has remained true to his inspirations.
That is exactly what Hawkinson stands for
and something other producers lost long ago – respect for the DJ culture.
“DJing was and is still composing for me.
I have always loved taking on new challenges - to take two vinyls and create something new.’’
Hawkinson has already a few time of DJing behind him. Since 2000, he has played at various clubs in Berlin. At just 23 years old, he secured his first gig
at the legendary Tresor.
Now with his first releases Hawkinson displays the outcome
of staying true to his passion.
He knows what the crowd wants – what they need and he knows
where he belongs – to the trunk of the Techno-tree.
See for yourself. „The Session EP“ on Mueller Rec. is either melody impoverished like Minimal style nor artificial overblown like Trance – all 3 tracks are simply good Techno for the dance floor but this stuff is also worthy listening at home or wherever you are with your big headphones.
And it is no coincidence that an additional label, Pure Substance,
has signed for more tracks from Hawkinson.
''A lot of sounds, which were good ten years ago, are still good now. “, says Hawkinson, when thinking about his source of inspiration such as Detroit Techno
or Chicago House.
These inspirations are just one of many sources resulting
in his unique creation of music.
One of his best friends is a little voice recorder.
When he wakes up at night with new tunes in mind,
he is out in Berlin or elsewhere and new ideas come up – all is stored
in his voice recorder and later in the studio will be turned into music.
“In fact that was my first device for producing” says Hawkinson
about his voice recorder.
“And I love comparing these recordings and seeing what comes out of it –
I mean from the first idea to the real track”.
Monthly the Techno magazine Partysan asks various artists the same questions in their series
“11 Statements”. One of their questions is,
“What do you say to those who believe that Techno is dead?”
Without hesitation he responds, “No.”
His DJing and his tracks give the same answer!
