MONOTON:audio Podcast

MNTNPC046 - MONOTON:audio pres. Piet Bender

Born in south Germany 1974 I call myself Swen Willner. I started already with the age of 16 to DJ and to create own tracks. After leaving Germany in the millenium year 2000 moving to Spain, Majorca, my career as musician has been interrupted for a while. The appearance of my most beautiful children as well as experimenting with different cultures and mentalities got into my focus.
Therefore I could develop an open-minded, tolerant and adjustable personality. But... as you can imagine, the break wouldn´t last forever. Since more than 8 years I am living now in Switzerland and 5 years ago I got back on track, discovering my old technolove again. I am centered in Dark & Hard Techno with my sets and productions - digging in the underground, looking for the unexpected. I have been hosting a weekly Radio Show called Go Techno Radio until July 2018 on cuebase-fm.de/black. Since then I am concentrating on the go techno events, producing and djing exclusively.

See you at the party!

MONOTON:audio is a German-based techno label founded in 2013 by Michael Kruck and Hierro.

The label embodies deep, dark, bassy techno with an atmospheric and straight forward sound.

We have an extreme focus on releasing distinctive, fresh music. We are interested in above the norm techno with that certain something that makes it stand out from the rest.

Ein wahrer Freund der elektronischen Musik, begeistert nun schon seit vielen Jahren das Publikum der Techno-Szene. Das Musik verbundene Kind der frühen 80er, hat den Weg von Vinyl über Digital-Mixing, bis hin zu seinen eigenen Kompositionen stets mit hohem Niveau beschritten.
Zu seinen Referenzen in der Clubszene gehören auch seine eigenen, leidenschaftlich geschaffenen Stücke, welche stets durch ihre gehobene Klangarchitektur überzeugen.
Die positiven Reflexionen seitens seiner Zuhörer geben ihm kontinuierlich neue Inspirationen, sein musikalisches Gedankengut in Ton und Komposition festzuhalten und neu erstrahlen zu lassen.
Weiterhin dürfen wir mit großer Neugier nur erahnen, wohin uns dieser  Künstler mit dessen Impressionen, in einer Welt der aus Strom erzeugten Musik, führen wird.

A true friend of electronic music thrilled the audience of the techno scene for many years now. The music related child of the early 80s, has always taken the path from vinyl and digital-mixing, up to his own compositions with a high level.
His references in the club scene including his own, passionate created pieces, that always impress with their superior sound architecture.
The positive reflections of his listeners, give him continuously renewed inspiration to capture his musical ideas in sound and composition, to let them shine again.
Furthermore, we only may imagine with great curiosity, where this artist will lead us with his impressions in a world of electronic produced music.

Ich fing im Jahre 1998 an mich intensiv mit dem Thema Elektronische Musik auseinanderzusetzen, meine ersten Schallplatten waren von Chris Liebing, Marco Remus, Speddy J, Terminal M uvm. 

I Love the old shit. ❤️‍🔥

Ich bin noch mit Vinyl groß geworden, und kann zum Glück noch zu den glücklichen zählen, die noch die alte Techno Club Kultur mitbekommen haben. 

Ich habe mich damals entscheiden müssen, am Wochenende Musik auflegen oder in diversen Veranstaltungensbereichen wie Licht & Ton Video Fuß zu fassen. Ich habe mich für die Veranstaltungstechnik entschieden. Seit dem war ich auf diversen Elektronischen Veranstaltungen und Festivals usw.  Und habe gute Kontakte geknüpft.

Doch in den letzten 10 Jahre war nicht mehr viel Zeit da. 

Nun möchte ich wieder einsteigen , da ich hier in Erfurt wieder das ein oder andere mal aufgelegt habe und sofort gemerkt habe ES HAT ZOOM GEMACHT

Meine Musikrichtung würde ich als progressiver psychedelisch angehauchten Techno beschreiben.
