all about Cocoon

Here is my Berghain 01 mix that I release back in 2005. Enjoy!

André Galluzzi - Berghain 01 - (Ostgut Ton) 2005

Dear friends,
As I have been mixing the Cocoon in-house compilation for the last 9 years, I want to share with you all the episodes of this incredible adventure from the very beginning up until today!

After the first 5 years at Cocoon Recordings, Sven Väth (OFFICIAL) asked me to mix my favorite tracks of the previous years into a nice compilation.
It was a big honor as it was my first big job although my young age, in fact I was only 19! This was definitely a sign of trust!
The name of this compilation is as simple as good: Eins (one) and includes masterpieces like: Roman Flügel – Geht´s Noch, INGO BOSS – Little Eternity, Dinky - Acid in my Fridge or Legowelt – Discorout just to name a few.

Have a listen to Cocoon´s most wanted 2000 – 2005

DESCRIPTION:

Five years Cocoon Recordings, that makes twenty-two 12"es, fourteen Mix-CDs and five Label Compilations. Cocoon youngster Chris Tietjen went about compiling the best tracks of the Cocoon Recordings 12"es to a musical cross-section. The result is a unique mix which contains pieces from recent times (Roman Flügel, Dinky, Oliver Koletzki) as well as tracks from the starting time of the label (Frank Lorber, Glove or Legowelt).
Chris Tietjen's style alternates between groovy tech house and hypnotic minimal sounds, but one can also find driving techno tunes in his record case. However, his sound is not easy to describe, and his sets are always full of surprises and guarantee many hours of frenzy.

Dear friends,
As I have been mixing the Cocoon in-house compilation for the last 9 years, I wanted to share all the episodes of this incredible adventure with you. From the very beginning up until today!

So here we go now with the third Compilation, I did for cocoon recordings 7 years ago, called DREI!

INFO

For the third time now, Next Generation host Chris Tietjen compiles the best Cocoon releases of the year on one CD and succeeds in providing a mix that is summarizing the party highlights of the past year in a perfect way.  With three artist albums, the Compilation G and numerous 12"es, Cocoon has again set standards in 2007 and is also planning a lot for 2008: besides the upcoming Minilogue album, there is also an album from Extrawelt in sight.Besides the big hits ("Unreliable Virgin", "Hunter" or "Horizon"), Chris has also included some flip side pearls ("My Cube" oder "Alpha Blend") to the CD, and delivers an impeccable 70 minute set that elegantly steps on the border between House and Techno. Nonchalantly he opens with Martin Buttrich's "Hunter, continues with shooting star Lucio Aquilina and developes a driving and groovy atmosphere up to Pig&Dan's "Sly Detector", which marks an emotional highlight before he closes the mix with Adam Proll's "Elevator", Joel Mull's "Harmonautic String" and Jacek Sienkiewicz's "Good Luck". A very atmospheric and competently made mix with carefully chosen highlights!

INFO:

Since 2005, the 23 year-old Chris Tietjen is a part of the Cocoon family. With his Next Generation series at CocoonClub Frankfurt, he established one of the most important creative pools for upcoming DJ talents; besides that, he regularly provides the listeners with one of the most crucial musical determinations of contemporary Techno. The characteristic elements of Tietjen's understanding of DJ skills are on the one hand the stress of intensive bass lines and driving percussions, but also the respect for the arrangement of the individual tracks. This fourth label compilation presents all dancefloor burners of the last 12 months on Cocoon Recordings in a diversified and coherent mix: Martin Buttrich, Schneider & Galluzzi, Guy Gerber, Tiefschwarz, Reboot, Adam Proll and Timo Maas undisputedly belong to the group of artists who have enhanced electronic dance music in the past year. In his terrific mix, Tietjen focuses on the releases of Swedish duo Minilogue whose CD/DVD album "Animals" belongs to the most successful releases on Cocoon and thus is represented her with three tracks (among them remixes by Dubfire and Tolga Fidan). And when Tietjen briefly reduces the tempo after Timo Maas' brute Tribal masterpiece "Subtellite", only to continue with the Väth classic (and one of the hits in the last season) "The Beauty & the Beast" in a remix by Eric Prydz, one can definitely get an impression of Chris Tietjen's skills as a DJ.

The Cocoon Recordings Mix Compilation Series is celebrating its fifth anniversary: after Chris Tietjen, being still a youngster in 2006, had compiled the label's best tracks of 2006 on the CD "EINS" and thus offered a review on twenty-two 12" maxis, we are now facing "FÜNF", on the occasion of the 10th Anniversary of Cocoon Recordings.

Every year, Chris compiles his personal Cocoon highlights in a musical cross-section and each time he produces a very unique mix of the best Cocoon dancefloor bombs of the past 12 months. First came "EINS", then "ZWEI" followed, and meanwhile we have reached "FÜNF. Chris, who is now resident of his own night "Loaded" at Sven Väth's homebase cocoonclub Frankfurt, has now put together the best tracks of 2009 and assembles artists from the likes of Egbert, Tiefschwarz, Electric Rescue, Alex Flatner & Lopazz, Tim Green, Nick Curly, Stefan Goldmann, Julian Jeweil, Extrawelt, Len Faki or Yousef in this mix.

Dear friends,

So here we go now with the second Compilation, I did for cocoon recordings 8 years ago, called ZWEI!

2006 was a simply fantastic year for Cocoon Recordings as we got huge releases like Guy Gerber – After Love, LOCO DICE– Carthago or Adam Beyer – Stereotypes, which were my personally fav´s.
But Extrawelt's – Titelheld or Dominik Eulberg's – Bionik were also high listed everywhere!

Over the last twelve months, the Cocoon Recordings crew has written another chapter of the German Tech House Book. With releases by Loco Dice, Dominik Eulberg or by shooting stars like Guy Gerber and Pig&Dan, we could celebrate some of the biggest records of 2006. 
Guy Gerber's "Sea of Sand", Eulberg's "Bionik" and Loco Dice's "Carthago" even belong to the absolute high-flyers, and with Fuckaponydelic's "Switch the Lights", the first big release of this year is also included. "ZWEI" continues where the first label revue "EINS" had stopped and will be anticipated particularly by fans and clubbers who don't have a record player anymore but have not completely switched to mp3 yet. 
A CD containing the best of the current Cocoon releases, compiled and mixed smoothly by CocoonClub's Next Generation host Chris Tietjen. 
Chris has advanced steadily since his CD debut and without doubt belongs to the top league of young Tech House and Minimal DJs. With more and more routine, he extends his national and international fanbase. 
Chris has developed into one of our best ambassadors and is a popular DJ who is capable of reflecting the Cocoon vibe and transporting the Frankfurt mood to the clubs. in this spirit... we feel the bassline!

Cocoon Recordings very own "best of" series presents the next issue which is again simply called by the number of the release-order. So it's number „nine“ this time ("Neun"). Yep, you heard right, number nine it is and another proof how fast time is passing while we listen to house and techno ;)

Sven Väth has choosen Chris Tietjen again to compile and mix the pearls of the last Cocoon Recordings releases. Tietjen started as a young gung in Väths Cocoon Booking agency and developed into a proper club-dj over the last years. He even released his first solo-12" on Cocoon Recordings in 2012 which marked his final arrival in the techno-business.

Tietjens progression as a DJ is clearly noticeable here as he laid down a very elegant and smooth overall mix. He delivered one of the best of his mix-compilations so far. He starts the journey with two Matt John and one Minilogue track which creates a very moody and warm introduction. The transition into the following part can be seen as a kind of "warm up" one would like to hear in a good techno-club. Next in the mix are Adam Port, Popof (Animal & Me) and Nick Curly who step by step feed the mix with more energy. From minute 22 onwards the mix starts to kick in and the bass-cabinets of your speakers should defintely move stronger now.

Pele & Shawnecy, Sante & Frank, André Galluzzi & Dana Ruh are the following names in the mix and together with the next track by Mauro Picotto & Riccardo Ferri we have four strong collaborations waiting in this section of the CD. It seems the "techno duet" is the new way to create cool club music these days. The amount of energy here is triggering the right senses and beams us back to the high days of the Cocoonclub Frankfurt, the Cocoon Ibiza nights or all these infamous summer open airs. Nice one!

The ending section is based on tracks by wAFF, Julien Bracht, Temma Teje, Uner and Mind Against and it is the dignified counterpart to the elegant beginning. Tietjen manages to swing out as smooth as he started the mix. To cut a long story short: "Neun" turns out to be a very nice overview of what has happened over the last months in the Cocoon Recordings universe and it defintely calls out for more... number ten we are waiting!

Artist Short Bio
Hailing from greater Frankfurt and being part of the former „next generation of cocoon artists“ Chris Tietjen looks at an impressive career which started already at a young age. 

His musical taste is based on a foundation of funk, hip hop and reggae and was finally shaped and developed under the influence of artists and mentors like Sven Väth and Ricardo Villalobos. No wonder the former cocoon protégé played almost every bigger cocoon festival stage and clubs such as Amnesia Ibiza, Cocoonclub Frankfurt, Nature One or Green & Blue (just to name a few).

Touring all year long and being an active part of the current Frankfurt scene Tietjen is not only working on his DJ skills. He also checks into his studio or join forces with his production partners and musical allies Christian Burkhardt, Reboot or Markus Fix. Tietjen’s productions can be found on labels like Epilog, Moan and of course on Cocoon which also hosts his „inhouse mix series“. 

Vinyl-lover and afterhour-marathon-man Chris Tietjen seems the be the perfect combination of oldskool musical influences and modern and contemporary party styles. Someone who keeps the innocent underground spirit of the great techno and house era alive but keeps on developing to a proper and grown up artist at the same time. 

Tietjen is working on his own style and taste and just doesn't follow the technology and trends of the club mainstream. Keep on spinning Chris and get the party started!

Musik ist wie Poesie - man muss nur genau hinhören um sie zu verstehen.

Music is like poetry - you just have to listen carefully to understand it.
