The solo project Knackered is characterised by genre-defying, playful and engaging electronic music that draws inspiration from UK rave music, post-club, left-field and 00’s hip-hop/rnb. It's gained traction through 2024, landing gigs such as Björk's Full Moon series at Smekkleysa, Iceland's biggest rave Smekkbuxur, and a tour in Poland. 
Knackered is currently finalising a release.

"Funk le Prince" 

Producer/DJ from Nuremberg.
Genres: Minimal, House & Tech House

-----------------------------

Schon in jungen Jahren habe ich die Liebe zur elektronischen Musik für mich entdeckt und angefangen meine eigenen Tracks zu produzieren, um diese auf epischen Feten aufzulegen. 

Meine Musik-Genres bezüglich des DJ'ings als auch Producings sind im Sammelsurium der Sub-Genres elektronischer Musik: dem Minimal- und Tech House stilistisch zuzuordnen…

Bin gerade dabei, mir als ausnahmetalentierter Musiker (DJ und Produzent) einen Namen zu machen und nicht nur regional in Nürnberg, sondern auch überregional in der elektronischen Musikszene als DJ in renommierten Clubs sowie in der Musikindustrie elektronischer Musik als aufstrebender Musikproduzent Fuß zu fassen.

Als Rezensionen meines künstlerischen Daseins habe ich folgendes in petto: 

In Nürnberg habe ich schon mehrmals in der Mitte Soundbar, Die Rakete, Haus 33, Waschsalon, Innbar, Neidbar sowie auf der „Tinnitus“ Open-Air-Reihe das Vergnügen hinter den Decks gehabt. 

Des Weiteren bin ich in einer Radiosendung des Labels „Outsiders Recordings“ in Köln eingeladen worden, als Guest-DJ vor Ort zu spielen. 

Habe schon bei mehreren renommierten Plattenlabels wie z. B. Smiley Fingers, Psicodelica, Recreo Music, Kief Music und Cocadew Records, mehrere EPs released, welche man auf iTunes, Beatport, Bandcamp und allen anderen Plattformen kaufen kann. 

Außerdem wurde einer meiner auf dem Label „Psicodelica“ veröffentlichten Tracks namens „Jede Nacht (Original Mix)“ von zwei DJ Kollegen aus Köln bei "Ibiza Global Radio" gespielt und wie eine Hymne zelebriert.

-----------------------------

I fell in love with electronic music at a young age and started producing my own tracks to play at epic partys.

As far as DJing and production are concerned, my musical styles move in the hodgepodge of subgenres of electronic music: stylistically they can be assigned to minimal and tech house...

I'm in the process of making a name for myself as an talented musician (DJ and producer) and gaining a foothold not only regionally in Nuremberg, also international in the electronic music scene as a DJ in renowned clubs and in the electronic music industry as an up-and-coming music producer.

As reviews of my artistic existence I have the following up my sleeve:

In Nuremberg, I've had the pleasure of working behind the decks several times in Mitte Soundbar, Die Rakete, Haus 33, Waschsalon, Innbar, Neidbar and at the "Tinnitus" open-air series.

Furthermore, I was invited to play as a guest DJ on a radio show by the label "Outsiders Recordings" in Cologne.

Have worked with several well-known record labels such as e.g. B. Smiley Fingers, Psicodelica, Recreo Music, Kief Music and Cocadew Records, released several EPs, you can buy on iTunes, Beatport, Bandcamp and all other platforms.

In addition, one of my tracks called "Jede Nacht (Original Mix)" released on the "Psicodelica" label was played by two DJ colleagues from Cologne on "Ibiza Global Radio" and celebrated like an anthem.

Giovani aka 610Frequency began to Dj in Bogotá, Colombia around 2002, playing every mayor club there. He arrive to New York 2006 since then he has been playing several venues, clubs and throwing his own events under Trilogy NYC brand. Sharing the decks with artist like: 
Moby, Jeff Mills, Stephan Bodzin, Perc, Sasha Carassi, Luca Bacchetti, Swayzak, pig & Dan, Alex Bau, Markantonio, Porn Bugs, Martin Gore(DM), Joseph Carpiati, Kevin Sanderson, Xpansul, Martinez, Kyle Geiger, Pfirter, Cari Lekebusch, The advent, Temudo, Tensal, Linsey Herbert  & m. more

Hey, Gareth here, I'm a graphic designer who start designing for clubs, parties, and labels in the late 90s. Back then, mix CDs were the holy grail of both design and music. I loved them.

But I wasn't the only one, mix cds were the soundtracks of our nights, our days, our afterparties and lives, for everyone. Yet in today's internet age, the art form has been lost (or just changed) to 2-3 hour online mixes and streaming videos, which just don't create the same magic your CD collection did. Just 60 minutes of music and incredible artwork.

The Classic Mix CD Series celebrates these discs, their soundtrack, their box art and your memories. We hope you enjoy it.

Also, we try to help you find and buy them again by sharing Discogs links on all featured CDs and or direct links to labels where possible.

* We fully support labels and artists. If any disc creates a copyrighting issue let me know and it will be immediately removed.

About Gareth:
Digital creative type, gamer, music lover and occasional DJ. Currently living between Dubai & Seoul after setting sail from Sunderland in 2010. As a young designer, club and music culture was the driving force for his work, producing artwork for local club nights and record labels in the North East of England. In particular, DJ mix cds and their packaging were always his 'holy grail of design', especially those from Renaissance, Global Underground and Good Looking Records. It's a pleasure to share these discs back with people and they still influence our tastes to this day.
