A little show off we have next saturday: BILL YOUNGMAN playing live!
BILL YOUNGMAN is known mostly for his wonky techno productions that he released during the last 15 years on renowned labels like Neil Landstrumm’s Scandinavia Records or Tresor.
But he also has a big passion for electronica, IDM and electro as you could tell from his beautiful album “Low Lifestyle” that he released on DC recordings in 2002 under the alias AUDIBLE.
Recently BILL is getting more and more bored by being categorized into one single musical category and gets back to what he’s really good at: making music.
So he came out on Warp recently with a really freaky remix for Jamie Lidell and produced an ass kicking single that will be out on Killekill records soon.
Have a beer to him playing some of his softer stuff live at the DENSE store!

06.05.11 KILLEKILL 003 RECORD RELEASE PARTY

KILLEKILL ist ja seit Beginn dieses Jahres auch ein Plattenlabel. 
Dazu, das groß an die Glocke zu hängen, kamen wir bisher gar nicht, da die ersten beiden Katalognummern innerhalb einer Woche ausverkauft waren.
Darum holen wir das nun nach und feiern mit dem Release der KILLEKILL 003 dann auch gleich den Labelstart noch mal richtig nach.

Der dritte unserer Releases kommt von BILL YOUNGMAN. Dieser war schon immer ein großartiger Künstler, hat sich aber in letzter Zeit zu einem regelrechten Überflieger entwickelt. Die aktuelle Platte umreist mit nur 2 Tracks von ihm seine ganze Bandbreite und featuret mit "HH3" einen techno drone, der düsterer nicht sein könnte, und mit "Trilogy" eine verspielte Electro/IDM-Nummer, die einem das Herz aufgehen lässt. Zwischen diesen Polen bewegt er sich und liefert uns für kommende Releases alle paar Wochen einen Hit ab, einen nach dem anderen, einer besser als der andere. Da wird man sich noch auf einiges gefasst machen müssen. 
Dass auch seine Live-Auftritte immer vom Feinsten sind, weiss, wer schon mal gesehen hat, mit wie viel Energie und Herzblut er auf der Bühne abgeht. 
Wir freuen uns auf ihn, seine Musik, seine Platten usw. Einfach auf alles.

Krake 2011
KRAKE ist an annual Berlin based fes­ti­val for chal­leng­ing elec­tronic music and visual trans­duc­tion ini­ti­ated by Nico Deuster of KILLEKILL and Hol­ger Hilgers.

The fes­ti­val took place at the Sui­cide Cir­cus for the first time in 2010 and was an over­whelm­ing suc­cess: numer­ous ground­break­ing artists of high rep­u­ta­tion rocked the crowd such as Warp’s elec­tron­ica heroes PLAID, techno leg­end CRISTIAN VOGEL, RADIOACTIVE MAN of the infa­mous two lone swords­men or break­beat weirdo BOGDAN RACZYNSKI. But there were also a lot of new tal­ents who sur­prised the audi­ence with their fresh­ness. PLASTER with their audio/visual con­cert and KARSTEN PFLUM deserve to be named here.

With this fes­ti­val in 2010 a new ele­ment and an impor­tant addi­tion to the vivid elec­tronic music scene in Berlin was born.

Here is Bill Youngmans live hardware set from the 2011 Krake Festival which took place at Suicide Circus in Berlin on the 20th of August 2011.

Bill Youngman Live @ Suicide Circus,  Berlin 07.06.2013

"Electrostep," Bill Youngman's 1996 release on Serotonin Records stands as a testament to one man's love of electro beats. Cutting, splicing and rearranging beats, he crafted an idealized rendition of electronica, much as Drum and Bass producers did with funk breaks. "Electrostep II" followed a year later, further developing the idea.

Always responding to the times, Youngman found his passion for drum computers and analog machines after years of classical training in guitar and drums. He moved to Berlin in 2001, in search of the perfect beat. There, he became involved with the experimental techno scene, looking for new ways to push the boundaries of music. Along the way he has collaborated with Jamie Lidell, Neil Landstrumm, Cristian Vogel, and Tobias Schmidt.

Today, Youngman presents his high-energy act worldwide, performing in front of audiences ready for an artist who will truly engage them. Dropping beats like bombs and weaving tsunamis of synth lines, he tops off his abstract and off-kilter techno sounds with authentic NYC hip hop elements: beat-boxing, freestyling and hyping up the crowd on the mic. Unlike your average DJ, this man doesn't look like he could be checking emails up in the booth.

Youngman has additional releases on DC Recordings, Null, Tresor, Serotonin and Scandinavia.
