VLADIMIR CORBIN
(Mo's Ferry Prod. / Red Eleven / Tonsport / Stuttgart)

Techno and its consequences. V. Corbin got into the maelstrom of the straight bassdrum with the first big wave, in the early nineties. Mayday, Loveparade and trips to German Techno centres were regularly on the weekend program. In the meantime, education and raving was current in the former Mecca called “Oz” in his hometown Stuttgart.
Apart from that, House and Techno parties were scarce in the Swabian capital. For the love of music, V. Corbin started in 1993 (together with the today internationally well-known DJ Duo "Tune Brothers") the event line “Stay Tuned”. Over the years it developed to the biggest regular indoor party (with up to 5000 visitors) for straight electronic music in the region of Stuttgart.
The year of 2002 had some bigger turning points at the ready for V. Corbin. To begin with the scene and city magazine of Stuttgart “Sub Culture”, which he took over as a publisher and has been leading successfully since then. On the other hand, he pushed on his DJ career since that time. In recent years before this time he grasped the headphones only sporadically and just for fun. In probably no other branch, fun and passion can become a business that fast, as in the DJ’s industry.
Corbin expeditiously developed a certain sound signature. The beats slightly reduced, deeply pumping, expanded chords – a Corbin set sweeps from Berlin over Detroit to Chicago and aback. A House-Groove is the foundation, in the floors above, styles from Deep over Minimal, Tech to Electro or Neo-Trance fuse seamlessly to a fascinating and authentic complete work.
After the big events in the nineties, V. Corbin applied himself to smaller events for enthusiasts of electronic music. He found the perfect place for it in the renowned club “Ciné Colibri”. Up to now, he invited major players of our age, such as Dapayk &amp; Padberg, Etienne De Crecy, Marc Romboy, Alex Gopher, Justus Köhnke, Jesse Rose, John Dahlbäck, D. Diggler, Ida Engberg, Kris Menace, Gamal Kabar, P.Toile, Xenia Beliayeva, Stephan Bodzino, Sebbo &amp; Ante Perry to his row of “Tonsport”.
Corbin continuosly works on own productions and remixes in the studio. Similar to his DJ style, various influences are processed to a pumping and enthralling sound. First official results were published since June 2009 and found their way in many dj charts. 


Mo’s Ferry Prod. officially exists since mid 2001. But that's not the real beginning of it all. This was more like in the early 90s when todays label owners Niklas Worgt and Jan Langhammer ran into each other in school. Anyway, the release date of the first and real "mfp" vinyl is a perfect joint starting point.
The music of Mo's Ferry Prod. can be perfectly described by the words of a well-respected colleague: "This music offers a way out of the one-way street regarding the groan of minimal techno. Mo's Ferry releases are uncomfortable, dodgy, angular, groany and self-containt - to this day. No going back to the big ingredient range of the last 15 years of techno and house, no electro thingumbob, and of course no whatsoever clash" (Mathias Schaffhaeuser / Beam). Well, here's nothing much to add, apart from... By now, the label has its standing and the release policy still follows the more inconvienient way. It's not acceptable constantly exhausting the standards and hypes. What about distinction and variety? For other musical playgrounds the Mo's Ferry sublabels fenou and RRYGULAR were created in 2005. And that's it... that's the way how to search and find their standing in the world of the electronic music biz.
