Gary Beck - Hopkins / Mark Ernestus Meets BBC (Gary Beck Edit) [Unreleased]

In 2008, British-born techno pioneer Richie Hawtin plucked 17 producers from obscurity and featured their work on a special newcomers compilation.

For many of them, it was their debut release on Hawtin's respected Minus label. For all of them, it was a major opportunity for their electronic music careers.

With the backing of such a formidable DJ as Hawtin, much speculation was made about the possible futures of these young and talented producers. Out of the 17, it is arguably Glasgow-based producer and DJ Gary Beck who has made the most impact so far.

In the three years since 'Richie Hawtin Presents Sounds From Can Elles', Gary Beck's music has reached many of techno's most respected labels including Slam's Soma Records, Len Faki's Figure, Nic Fancuilli's Saved Records, Speedy J's Electric Deluxe, and Sven Väth's Cocoon.

Beck has also DJed at some of the world's most important dancefloors like Tresor and Berghain in Berlin, Amsterdam's Awakenings, London's Ministry of Sound, Glasgow's Sub Club, and Chicago's Smart Bar.

And perhaps most impressively of all, Gary Beck's set at Scotland's Rockness festival in June 2010 was broadcast as an Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1, an important milestone for any serious dance music performer.

But what is the secret to Gary Beck's ongoing success? Why has he progressed further than any of the other 16 Richie Hawtin-backed producers ?

"People really started to take notice of me when Minus released 'Consumed'," says Gary Beck. "It was a big surprise when Richie called asking to sign the track. I was always confident that something was going to happen with my tracks but this release was more than I expected at the time. It gave me extra belief in my productions."

The release, Gary Beck says, was like a catalyst and pushed him ever deeper down the production hole. But rather than try to replicate the 'Consumed' formula, Beck concentrated on finding his own sound, not that that is ever an easy task.

"Finding my own style has probably been the toughest challenge of my career," he says. "There is so much music out there, I had to be unique. I wanted to create a sound that people would instantly recognize as a Gary Beck production."
