Indelible Wilderness

Just thought I would upload this mix recorded live from in Leeds which was meant to go out on technique podcast earlier this year but with a few recording issues it never made it out, so just thought i would put it up anyway. New Lowbrow podcast, 2 recorded sets from last 2 garden parties, a recording from Below (Birmingham) from last Xmas and a snippet of my new remix due out on Left'd in a couple of weeks which is getting some great feedback from a few of my peers in fact all coming soon....

Technique Podcast - Recorded Live in March 2011

The culmination of being exposed to an eclectic range of musical genres from an early age came in the form of Christian Maiden taking to the decks at the age of 19. After playing at bars and house parties in his home town of Birmingham he realized he wished to carve out a musical path in house and techno. In 2003 he moved to Leeds and was thus exposed to the underground sounds at such nights as Technique and Back2Basics. This formed the catalyst for him to start up his own night, Twaddle. Now in its fourth year Twaddle provided Christian with an initial platform to showcase his impressive technical ability and his creative take on deep through to tech house. The night has seen him play alongside Audio Werner, Daniel Bell, Guillaume and The Cotu Dumonts, Matt Tolfrey, Lauhaus, Ekkohaus, Martinez and Mathew Styles to name a few.

Twaddle became the springboard that resulted in him being asked to take up residency at Mind the Gap and Soapbox in 2007. In addition he has caught the attention of many other nights in Leeds particularly Asylum, Back2Basics, Mono_cult, Dirty Disco and Birmingham’s Below where he has played most recently at their 2009 Christmas event.

Christian’s appeal and increased profile is also reflected in the range of places he has played at over the last few summers ranging from the Like Minded festival in Croatia and rooftop parties at Sonar to intimate local festivals such as Cloud 9. This summer has also seen him began to establish himself in London with gigs at T/bar and Roadtrip.

He currently holds residency at one of the biggest nights in the UK, Technique. This has seen him play with a plethora of high profile artists including, Nic Fanculli, Charles Webster, Anja Schneider, Clive Henry, Karotte, Italoboyz, Thomas Melchoir, Christian Burkhardt, Magda and Raresh. Most recently Christian has warmed up for Marco Carola, Seuil, The Revenge, Carl Craig and Miss Fitz. His knowledge and experience in the field has also lead him to becoming the label manager for Leftroom Records.
