Luft & Liebe mit Adam Port & Nils Hoffmann

Artist Info
Adam Port (keinemusik / berlin)
Techno’s biggest flaw is its self-referencial tendency. You know the deal, the common contemporary DJ/Producer steals an Underground Resistance-Record from his older brother at the age of 16 (biographical details may vary, not to impair the facts, though), thus presuming to have found the holy grail (what, of course, nobody is claiming to deny).
His world is shrinking down to Detroit, Chicago, New York and Berlin within the following years, he’ll equip himself with records and turntables and not look over the rim of his MKII ever again. Adam Ports biography is different. Adam was Hardcore, when he was 16. No, not Rotterdam-Hardcore. We’re talking New York-, Boston- and Washington D.C.-Hardcore here. It’s a past that he still lives up to, cultivating it in his vegetarian-straight-edge-lifestyle.
After that there was HipHop. He got in touch with turntablism, discovered his love for vinyl and evolved to be a skilled DJ for the first time. Then, finally came Techno. This way of tracing down spaces, giving one the best possible chance of self-development, is the essential reason for Ports presence being so unique. There’s no scene-dictated tunnel view in his activities, there is only a pointed emphasis on style, on groove and sophistication. An emphasis, that, because it’s informed by Dub, Danchall, Rap, Soul or even Psychedelic Rock, is advanced enough to always shine through the inflationary characteristic of the genre as notably original. That applies to both, his productions and his DJ-sets.
What Adam Port is laying his hands on might have its place within the parameters of House and Techno, but it’s always more than that. It’s his style.

Nils Hoffmann (get physical, seelensauna / berlin)
It’s not an every day thing that a 17 year old dj starts his producer career with a 1.5 Mio plays track on Youtube. „Balloons“ produced by Berlin based DJ/Producer Nils Hoffmann is one of those examples that a new generation is actually knocking on the door. Balloons which is an original production was made available on Soundcloud in early 2012 and made it’s way through various free download possibilities on the net until it got finally released on Get Physical Music / Poesie Musik in Februar 2013. The track with remixes by Aka Aka & Thalstroem and Martin Roth made it into the Beatport Top 100 and performed very well in DJ & Sales Charts all over the world.
On the back of that the DJ career of Nils immediately kicked in and he is in demand all over europe to play clubs beside his regular high school duties. Booked by the great upcoming Seelensauna crew he will be present at lots of Festivals and club gigs in 2013. „Balloons“ and and other singles like „Verwunschen“ reflect Nils’s musical vision of emotional deep house music with a retro feel. Using vintage soundscapes in a 2013 house music context is a great formula in the hand of a very young upcoming fresh producer. Currently remixing tracks for his hometurf label „Get Physical Music“ and UK’s finest „Xenomania“ Nils deservers to be on the radar for electronic dance music this year.
