Joachim Spieth is a long time DJ, producer and label boss of Affin. Whether through the music he produces himself, or the productions he releases on his own imprint, the sounds always operate in their own little pockets away from the norm. It all started with ‘Abi 99’ – one of the earliest 12”s Cologne stable Kompakt ever released. At the time it was supported by legendary UK radio DJ John Peel and, in turn, was followed up with more huge early success in the form of ‘Under Pressure’, a split single EP on Speicher with Michael Mayer. In the years since, there have been tracks licensed to The Orb’s Back to Mine compilation, appearances on labels like Paso, Traum Schallplatten and Tongut and a steady stream of remixes for the likes of Michael Mayer, Einmusik and Guy J, all of which have blurred the lines between techno, minimal and house music in the producers own unique way. Chief amongst Spieth’s achievements are those of his wide-ranging label, Affin. As well as hosting a regular radio show of the same name on Proton and label nights at clubs across Europe, the imprint has clocked up 150 releases, spawned various Selected compilations (including one recently to celebrate its centenary release) and has championed music from artists like Arnaud Le Texier, Samuel L Session, Gez Varley, Truncate, Reggy van Oers and so many more.
 Most recently, the six-year-old outlet has started Affin LTD, a sub-label putting music out on vinyl, with great looking and sounding results. It’s no wonder, then, that revered contemporary DJs like Derrick May, Ben Sims and Laurent Garnier regularly include Affin records in their sets around the world. 
Spieth himself plays a range of top European clubs on a regular basis, impressing crowds at respected venues like Culture Box, Denmark, Tresor, Berlin, Hive Zurich in Switzerland, Kater Holzig in Berlin, and many other European hotspots with his deft blend of groove, melody and atmosphere. His latest vinyl EP release ‘Sensual’ might just be his greatest to date, with the likes of Scuba playing it in his Essential Mix, Depeche Mode’s Martin L Gore (a pop hero for Spieth) charting it on Beatport, Juan Atkins dropping it during his live Beatport stream and many other accolades across the board.

5 Questions:

1. How did you find your way into electronic music?

I was touched by music since i was a child. Got a lot of influences while listening music on the radio. As a teenager is was addicted to instrumental Hip Hop, the bridge finally was built by the HEADZ compilation on UK­based Mo Wax label. After i got into Warp Records etc...

2. Now that you have been actively releasing records for 15 years, how do you feel your process has changed?

I like to experiment with sounds. I mainly work with samples since i started to build up my own tunes. Back in the days it was more expensive to get a proper setup, nowadays you can find a lot of awesome software plug­ins doing a great job. Actually i like to mix hardware / software.

3. Your label, Affin, has been steadily releasing quality techno and house for about 7 years. What was your decision to start the label and how do you curate it?

I got some good demo stuff from unknow ppl around. Moreover, i wanted to build something to feel home. Working with labels sometimes isn’t easy if they decide to change their style... So you’re always relying on decisions from others. As i worked with Kompakt, Paso Music and some other labels for years i thought it was just on time to decide on my own what should be released. In the begin i wanted to release “all” music i like but this changed in the last 1 ­ 2 years. Now we’re focussed on techno.

4. What are some of your favorite tracks at the moment?

Never easy to name just a few as i always like so many tunes :­) Dustin Zahn’s “Against The Grain” on his new Drumcode Album is ace. “Hypnopaedia” from Ness on Planet Rhythm is awesome! Not to forget Keith Carnal’s “Prospect” on my own label Affin, ha ha.

5. Any closing thoughts on upcoming releases, label work, etc ?

Ah yes, for sure. I’m very excited about my upcoming 12” Aidan (with rmxs from Samuel L Session & Arnaud Le Texier). Proper techno package... Arnaud also will deliver his 2nd 12” before summer ( with amazing Unam Zetineb rmx) and some more projects are already set up. I’m really happy to see how things developing in the last time regarding Affin.

Thanks for the nice chat!

BIO:
2024 is already on going and our first release of the year is here. No better way to start with a debut with us for Hugo Rolan, Lanna Club's resident. 
Clanging spacial sounds and mechanical rhythms are present throughout the EP. The dark and dreamy atmospheres, along with the raw, reverberating, and forceful beats, make for a compelling debut and a statement from Rolan who has been on great shape lately, as proven here. 
Crafted from scratch but with his personal touch all over it.
