Jürgen was born back in 1981 in countrified Guenzburg, Germany. Even if one could assume at first sight, his last name Semmelmann has nothing to do with the German word "Semmel" (which stands for a bun) or with a bakery. He is interested in music, preferably electronic music and he adds " this is already the end of my stereotyped thinking". With 15 years only he entered a club for the first time during a school excursion and there he listened to the track "Children" by Robert Miles, which promptly aroused his interest for electronic music. "It was a cool, new feeling to be kind of "deflowered" and to feel the vibrations and emotions of electronic music for the first time" and he adds "the following years kind of shaped me culturally as well as regarding my style of music". 

He did a lot of excursions - first as a normal consumer only - to a lot of different genres of electronic music, like for example Techno, Minimal, Goa, House, Tec.House, "Schranz" (Jürgen laughs) and the distinctive house culture in Germany did the rest. Time after time he went through a lot of experimental phases and did not want to be a consumer only anymore. SchallFusion (engl.: SoundFusion) has been originated by Jürgen A. Semmelmann in 2003 and since that time is responsible for a lot of electronic events in southern Germany. "It has been an awesome time". "I used every location I could get and also remodeled even small cafés to a pulsating dreamland for one night with the help of friends and colleagues." The SchallFusion project developed a lot of events by and by, a lot of cooperations have been concluded througout Germany and Jürgen also contributed to an open air event and he therewith created the electronic szene in the countrified Swabian region really a lot. "Of course there have been also some set-backs" says Jürgen "but the good things predominated during the last years. I had a lot of fun especially with my friends from the projects Rat X, Electroverse and Criminimal from the Hesse region." "People from Hesse simply can party" he adds grining. 

There will not be any standstill for Jürgen also in the future, he is in a constant process of alteration. Years ago he effectively mixed vinyls into each other, he today surprises with live components in his set at the Crowd Club. "To work live is the future in the club business", he notes. "I also always try that not every crossover sounds the same, party people want to be surprised and that's why I never just stick to one genre only within my sets. I think that variation is extremely important - it is the unexpected that heats the emotions on the dancefloor."

"Diversity is the key. Think out of the box!
 
Electronic Music is a way of life.“
- Giuseppe, August 2017


Giuseppe was born in 1980 and raised in Frankfurt, Germany, where the foundations of his love of a four-to-the-floor beat were laid when he became a drummer at school.  Little did he know that his fascination with such sounds were just the beginning of what was to become a life-long love-affair with driving rhythm.

As a young man he was irresistibly drawn to the burgeoning Eurodance scene and it was at this point that Giuseppe became a fan of high-energy acts such as 2Unlimited, Captain Hollywood Project and SNAP. 

By the end of the 1990s, this young dance music lover was so fascinated by electronic sounds that to him it seemed that the only logical next step was to delve further into the music scene and explore some of the harder, more underground sounds being played in  the nightclubs of this era.  It was at this point that Giuseppe first experienced Trance.

It was as a fan of Tillmann Uhrmacher, Talla2XLC and Paul van Dyk that Giuseppe for the first time, in a club environment, began to fully appreciate Techno . The combination of melodies used with a driving, urgent beat to produce a high energy track impressed him so much that he felt a burning desire to somehow contribute to the scene.  His move from away from Trance to harder, progressive Techno in some way signified the completion of Giuseppe's next stage of exploring the diversity of sound on offer in the world of electronic music

 

Acts such as Chris Liebing, Adam Beyer, Marco Carola and Speedy J were key players in the music industry at that time and Giuseppe had an insatiable passion for electronic music. The first decade of the 21st century, therefore, became for him a voyage of discovery through many of the different genres available; from Trance, to House, to Tribal Techno, to Hardgroove, to Tech House... As long as as the music had that energy, Giuseppe would thrive on the buzz it created. Sub-genres became irrelevant to him.  He loved techno and sub-genres were less important to him than the sound of the music itself.

 Already Giuseppe had begun to think out of the box where music was concerned; he would not permit his voracious appetite for techno to be restricted by pigeon-holing the tracks he listened to.

Eventually Giuseppe's deep love of music led him to a career as a DJ which began in 2003. This continued until 2014, during which time Giuseppe played with pleasure and success at various establishments such as Clubs like MTW, U60311, Fusion Club, Butan Club, Dom im Berg and more. He was also came to be considered a regular guest at major events such as Nature One, Airbeat One, Electric City and more.

These days Giuseppe remains just as inspired as at the beginning of his electronic music journey by sounds with groove, with energetic rhythms, of between 125 to 140 beats per minute. And, these days, Giuseppe continues to think out of the box, not only in the music he listens to but also in the music he plays: any track which fulfills the aforementioned criteria you may find in one of his sets.  

Giuseppe can now look back upon an impressive fifteen years of working with electronic music and would be considered a multi-genre DJ. He believes that it doesn't matter if it's Techno, Trance, Progressive or Tech-House... Because what he cares most about is making sure that, whilst listening, you can't stand still!

For him, diversity in music, as well as  its groove and energy, are fundamental to the love he has for it.
