Rauschhaus (https://soundcloud.com/rauschhaus) United We Rise Podcast Nr. 103

🗯🗯 How do you make use of technology? 🗯🗯

I always check for new Vst and read a lot in magazines and forums about new inventions. For me I always try to combine analog and digital gear. I also like to watch tutorials about music production and try to learn new stuff constantly. I think there is always progression and lots of ways to improve my skills. 

🗯🗯 Did your approach on creating music change during the pandemic and did it maybe even influence your style? 🗯🗯

Since I dont have the possibility to play as often as I used to before Covid I dont have the chance to roadtest my new productions and it takes longer for me to finish a track. I cant listen on big club speakers and dont get the reaction of the crowd so its just me or some friends that decide wether the track is dope or not and what needs to be changed. I also started to work on some softer tracks that arent particular for the dancefloor.

🗯🗯 What’s your favorite drink while being behind the decks in the Club? 🗯🗯

I prefer Skinny Bitch or a cold Beer

INTERVIEW

What do you do to get into a creative state? 
 "Before we start a studio session or dj set we smoke a joint and have a chat. "

What do you love most about being an artist? 
"To be an artist is a privilege to do things however you like."

How do you stay focused in a world of constant distraction? 
"It’s not easy to be honest. We try to calm down regularly, hang out with friends or just do nothing. It’s really important to have your quality &/or me time and seperate your privacy from public. "

Do you have a morning routine?
Ilu: "Mine is relatively simple. Wake up, drink a coffee, go for a walk with my dog and drink another coffee. "
Aaye: "I try to find my morning routine but basically I wake up, take a big breakfast with a lot of coffee and listen to music."

What, for you, is the purpose of art?
"For us the sense of art is the enjoyment! "

What is sacred to you?
"As we already told you quality & me time is very important to recover. Without this we wouldn’t be creative anymore."

What is your opinion on failure? 
"As stupid as that may sound, failure is incredibly important. Only from this can you gain experience and develop yourself further."

What would your 16 year old you think about what you’re doing today?
"A dream comes true."

Matija ist ein weitgereister Herr: Aus der Aargauer Provinz, wo er seine musikalisch ersten (und zweiten) Schritte tat, zog es Ihn in den Strassendschungel der Deutschen Hauptstadt Berlin, wo er 6 Jahre blieb und sein Handwerk vertiefte. Zusammen mit seinem damaligen Mitbewohner Dave Dinger ist er um die Häuser gezogen und hat mit ihm Clubs wie die Bar25 etc. gerockt.

Und wenn man es in Berlin schafft, dann nimmt man klein-Zürich im Sturm: Matija setzte nach seiner Rückkehr zur Eroberung der Schweizer Szeni-Metropole an. Mit Erfolg: Nach Partyreihen im Supermarket, Hive (und anderen Clubs) arbeitete er jahrelang als Night-Manager im Zürcher Hive-Club und spielt in Diesem immernoch als Resident fleissig weiter.

Als ehemaliger Night-Manager von Frieda's Büxe und Hive, ist er mittlerweile seit 22 Jahren schweizweit und oft auch international, unter anderem mit Dave Dinger, als Dj unterwegs und sorgt mit seinen Sets immer wider für für den gewissen Leckerbissen auf den Dancefloors.

Driven by the love of music Reto Ardour already looks back on a 10 years dj-history. At an early stage of his career he was resident of an infamous Zurich party brand, hosting club nights in top clubs all around Switzerland and he also released his first mix-compilation for Universal Music.

Nowadays Reto is resident of the well-known Zurich club-institutions Hive and Zukunft and known for his quality and innovative dj-sets, which range from modern house to techno, thanks to his broad knowledge of music.

Reto is an ambitious producer too and busy in the studio, which he shares with long-term partner Benja, since many years. Together as well as a solo-artist, releases appeared on labels like Cityfox, Hive Audio, Kiara and Baalsaal so far and there’s much more to come.

Based in the beautiful city of Zürich / Switzerland and with strong roots in Italy Vanessa Spolidoro, better known to friends and followers of electronic club music under her artistic nom de guerre Vanita, has come a long way since she appeared on the scene back in 2009.

Inspired by an ever growing love for House and Techno music throughout her teenage years and the vast variety of unheard artificial sounds created with the help of synthesizers, both analogue and digital, Vanita took to DJ'ing and played her first ever club set at the tender age of 19 before she started to become involved in music production in 2010, first working with several friends before embarking on a solo tip to sharpen and refine her studio skills over the years to come.

Gaining notoriety in Zürich and beyond Vanita slowly, yet constantly built her reputation as an aspiring DJ on the rise, playing more and more club nights and finally secured a resident spot at the infamous Hive Club in her hometown in 2014, a first breakthrough point in her career as this residency meant a regular presence in one of the hotspots of Switzerland's club scene.

Parallel, endless hours spent in the studio turned out to be fruitful as well, leading to releases on several smaller labels before imprints like Draft Label and Einmusika offspring EIN2 picked up on Vanita's tunes for singles in 2015 and 2017 respectively before her „Awareness EP“ was signed to Berlin's Katermukke-imprint in 2018, another step that took Vanita to a next level.

With her tracks gaining recognition on an international level and a steady public exposure through the Hive Club residency where she continously plays alongside globally renowned artists it's no wonder that Vanita soon entered the league of globetrotting DJ's herself. To this date she played in neabry countries like Germany and the Netherlands but also took off on a long distance to elevate crowds in Thailand, South Africa, Israel and the United States with energetic sets and a captivating stage presence.

Whilst keeping with an ever busy schedule and growing air mileage in 2019 Vanita has been busy in the studio and recently released her „Rain EP“ on Hive Audio, an overdue fortification of her long standing relationship with Switzerland's busiest club meets label business.

With more releases lined up for the near future and more international bookings to come Vanita is defo on one of the names to watch out for as her career hasn't even come close to a possible peak yet.
No matter where in the world you're at, be assured that Vanita is about to touch down on a dancefloor near you. Soon.

Villacast #15 - Matchy

Hive ist Zürichs Musikreaktor mit elektronischer Ausstrahlung und bietet funkensprühende Parties mit hohem Toleranzwert und null Aufwärmzeit.
Hive ist Bewegung.
Hive ist mehr als ein Club. Hive verschmelzt verschiedene Kunstpollen, würzt mit einem subversiven Schuss Kun(s)terbuntem, betört mit subkulturellen Noten.
Im Lustgarten der Veränderung
Unsere Philosphie ist Morphing Clubbing. Bedeutet konkret: Hive erspürt und setzt Trends, verändert sich organisch und treibt immer neue Blüten der Nacht. Der Name Hive (deutsch: Bienenstock) unterstreicht unseren Anspruch, Nährboden für eine lebendige, vielschichtige, alternative Musik- und Kulturszene zu sein.
Wer Hive mag
Alle, die sich in und von einer offenen Atmosphäre bewegen lassen wollen, Spass an Ausgefallenem haben und mit staunenden Augen durchs Leben tanzen.
