009 - SHIMMY ROBIN

(interview & english version below)
Shimmy Robin ist DJ aus Hamburg und Teil des OSZIL-Kollektivs. Gemeinsam mit dj blip veranstaltet sie die Reihe blipmotif im legendären Golden Pudel Club. Ihre Sets führen durch ihre musikalischen Inspirationen und verbinden fesselnde Vocals mit orchestralen Akzenten und einer fein abgestimmten Dramaturgie.

INTERVIEW
Du bist musikalisch sehr divers aufgestellt: Welche Vorteile und Herausforderungen siehst du darin, viele verschiedene Genres aufzulegen, und wie beeinflusst das deine künstlerische Entwicklung?

Ich schätze die Abwechslung in Musik und Bewegung, die durch meinen klassischen Klavierhintergrund und den Einfluss von R’n’B und Soul geprägt ist. Es fasziniert mich, verschiedene Stile zu kombinieren und dabei etwas Einzigartiges zu schaffen.

Gemeinsam mit dj blip hostest du die Veranstaltungsreihe „blipmotif“ im Golden Pudel. Kannst du uns mehr über die Vision dahinter erzählen und wie sie entstanden ist?

Seit Herbst 2022 bin ich Teil dieser Reihe und dankbar, mit dj blip – Mentor & Best Friend –  die unterschiedlichsten Künstlerinnen einzuladen. Während wir bei unserem jährlichen Sommerfest überwiegend unsere fav. local Heroes dabei haben, konzentrieren wir uns die anderen Monate auf Artists, die uns kürzlich oder schon lange inspirieren und die wir der Szene hier vorstellen wollen.

Was war deine Lieblings-Dancefloor-Erfahrung und warum?

Tricky, weil es nicht die „Einzige“ Lieblings-Erfahrung gibt. Aber Momente völliger Hingabe zur Musik bei geschlossenen Augen mit herausragendem Sound und Lichttechnik, einer Handvoll guter Friends wie beim Climate of Fear, dem Nachtiville oder im Berghain bei Rene Wise’s Closing Set.

Shimmy Robin is a DJ from Hamburg and part of the OSZIL collective. Together with dj blip, she organizes the blipmotifseries at the iconic Golden Pudel Club. Her sets take listeners on a journey through her musical inspirations, blending captivating vocals with orchestral nuances and a carefully crafted dramatic tension.

INTERVIEW
You have a very diverse musical approach: What are the advantages and challenges of playing many different genres, and how does this influence your artistic development?

I value the variety in music and movement, shaped by my classical piano background and the influence of R’n’B and soul. I’m fascinated by combining different styles and creating something unique in the process.

Together with dj blip, you host the event series “blipmotif” at the Golden Pudel. Can you tell us more about the vision behind it and how it came to be?

Since autumn 2022, I’ve been part of this series and am grateful to collaborate with dj blip – mentor and best friend – in inviting a wide range of artists. While our annual summer festival focuses mainly on our favorite local heroes, the other months highlight artists who have recently or long inspired us and whom we want to introduce to the scene here.

What was your favorite dancefloor experience and why?

That’s tricky, as there isn’t a single “favorite” experience. But moments of complete surrender to the music, with closed eyes, outstanding sound and lighting, and a handful of good friends – like at Climate of Fear, Nachtiville, or Rene Wise’s closing set at Berghain – are unforgettable.

This is the recording of my first-ever live set, played on New Year’s Eve alongside the legend DVS1 in Thessaloniki. 

A milestone moment for me, 
a night I’ll never forget.

Blue Hour doesn’t need much of an intro, since 2013 the Brightonian DJ, Producer and label head has built a reputation for quick-witted techno and spread his sound at viral pace. The whys are evident, through the years Luke Standing has walked a road from a love of UK dance music genres  (and associated incursions under the monikers Furesshu and Esoteric), to full-bore and masterfully cut techno. When he called the UK home, fate inevitably pulled him into Berlin’s orbit, a place he’d often visit to get his musical fix, and for over a decade it’s been his new nest. He’s come into his own here, working hard (and playing hard) to build a sturdy vision that’s evinced through bookings, releases and close contact with names like Dold, Alpha Tracks, Scandinavian trance collective UTE and Philippa Pacho (with whom he runs forward-thinking  sublabel positivesource). His work, and everything his eponymous label puts out, is stimulating and high order, hedonic techno made for the big room that assuringly cuts all felt spatial and temporal bonds. Smouldering loops that reference his love of 90s rave, and pull equally from IDM, breakbeat, acid, trance and UK bass, furnishing a signature style that’s bullet-fast and unstoppable. Bassiani Podcast 245 is an hour-long studio-recorded spell to the tune of his trademark euphoria. Sweaty beats made for dancing well up to and beyond the blue hour.
