all about Cocoon

Dear friends,
As I have been mixing the Cocoon in-house compilation for the last 9 years, I want to share with you all the episodes of this incredible adventure from the very beginning up until today!

After the first 5 years at Cocoon Recordings, Sven Väth (OFFICIAL) asked me to mix my favorite tracks of the previous years into a nice compilation.
It was a big honor as it was my first big job although my young age, in fact I was only 19! This was definitely a sign of trust!
The name of this compilation is as simple as good: Eins (one) and includes masterpieces like: Roman Flügel – Geht´s Noch, INGO BOSS – Little Eternity, Dinky - Acid in my Fridge or Legowelt – Discorout just to name a few.

Have a listen to Cocoon´s most wanted 2000 – 2005

DESCRIPTION:

Five years Cocoon Recordings, that makes twenty-two 12"es, fourteen Mix-CDs and five Label Compilations. Cocoon youngster Chris Tietjen went about compiling the best tracks of the Cocoon Recordings 12"es to a musical cross-section. The result is a unique mix which contains pieces from recent times (Roman Flügel, Dinky, Oliver Koletzki) as well as tracks from the starting time of the label (Frank Lorber, Glove or Legowelt).
Chris Tietjen's style alternates between groovy tech house and hypnotic minimal sounds, but one can also find driving techno tunes in his record case. However, his sound is not easy to describe, and his sets are always full of surprises and guarantee many hours of frenzy.

EINS

Dear friends,
As I have been mixing the Cocoon in-house compilation for the last 9 years, I wanted to share all the episodes of this incredible adventure with you. From the very beginning up until today!

So here we go now with the third Compilation, I did for cocoon recordings 7 years ago, called DREI!

Listen to Cocoons most wanted 2007.

Artist: V.A
Title: DREI MIXED BY CHRIS TIETJEN
Cat.: CORMIX020-2
Label: Cocoon Recordings
Barcode:	807297110128
Format:	CD
Release date:	18.04.2008
Style: Techno / Tech-House

INFO

For the third time now, Next Generation host Chris Tietjen compiles the best Cocoon releases of the year on one CD and succeeds in providing a mix that is summarizing the party highlights of the past year in a perfect way.  With three artist albums, the Compilation G and numerous 12"es, Cocoon has again set standards in 2007 and is also planning a lot for 2008: besides the upcoming Minilogue album, there is also an album from Extrawelt in sight.Besides the big hits ("Unreliable Virgin", "Hunter" or "Horizon"), Chris has also included some flip side pearls ("My Cube" oder "Alpha Blend") to the CD, and delivers an impeccable 70 minute set that elegantly steps on the border between House and Techno. Nonchalantly he opens with Martin Buttrich's "Hunter, continues with shooting star Lucio Aquilina and developes a driving and groovy atmosphere up to Pig&Dan's "Sly Detector", which marks an emotional highlight before he closes the mix with Adam Proll's "Elevator", Joel Mull's "Harmonautic String" and Jacek Sienkiewicz's "Good Luck". A very atmospheric and competently made mix with carefully chosen highlights!

INFO:

Since 2005, the 23 year-old Chris Tietjen is a part of the Cocoon family. With his Next Generation series at CocoonClub Frankfurt, he established one of the most important creative pools for upcoming DJ talents; besides that, he regularly provides the listeners with one of the most crucial musical determinations of contemporary Techno. The characteristic elements of Tietjen's understanding of DJ skills are on the one hand the stress of intensive bass lines and driving percussions, but also the respect for the arrangement of the individual tracks. This fourth label compilation presents all dancefloor burners of the last 12 months on Cocoon Recordings in a diversified and coherent mix: Martin Buttrich, Schneider & Galluzzi, Guy Gerber, Tiefschwarz, Reboot, Adam Proll and Timo Maas undisputedly belong to the group of artists who have enhanced electronic dance music in the past year. In his terrific mix, Tietjen focuses on the releases of Swedish duo Minilogue whose CD/DVD album "Animals" belongs to the most successful releases on Cocoon and thus is represented her with three tracks (among them remixes by Dubfire and Tolga Fidan). And when Tietjen briefly reduces the tempo after Timo Maas' brute Tribal masterpiece "Subtellite", only to continue with the Väth classic (and one of the hits in the last season) "The Beauty & the Beast" in a remix by Eric Prydz, one can definitely get an impression of Chris Tietjen's skills as a DJ.

The Cocoon Recordings Mix Compilation Series is celebrating its fifth anniversary: after Chris Tietjen, being still a youngster in 2006, had compiled the label's best tracks of 2006 on the CD "EINS" and thus offered a review on twenty-two 12" maxis, we are now facing "FÜNF", on the occasion of the 10th Anniversary of Cocoon Recordings.

Every year, Chris compiles his personal Cocoon highlights in a musical cross-section and each time he produces a very unique mix of the best Cocoon dancefloor bombs of the past 12 months. First came "EINS", then "ZWEI" followed, and meanwhile we have reached "FÜNF. Chris, who is now resident of his own night "Loaded" at Sven Väth's homebase cocoonclub Frankfurt, has now put together the best tracks of 2009 and assembles artists from the likes of Egbert, Tiefschwarz, Electric Rescue, Alex Flatner & Lopazz, Tim Green, Nick Curly, Stefan Goldmann, Julian Jeweil, Extrawelt, Len Faki or Yousef in this mix.

So here we go now with the second Compilation, I did for cocoon recordings 8 years ago, called ZWEI!

2006 was a simply fantastic year for Cocoon Recordings as we got huge releases like Guy Gerber – After Love, LOCO DICE– Carthago or Adam Beyer – Stereotypes, which were my personally fav´s.
But Extrawelt's – Titelheld or Dominik Eulberg's – Bionik were also high listed everywhere!

Info:

Over the last twelve months, the Cocoon Recordings crew has written another chapter of the German Tech House Book. With releases by Loco Dice, Dominik Eulberg or by shooting stars like Guy Gerber and Pig&Dan, we could celebrate some of the biggest records of 2006. 
Guy Gerber's "Sea of Sand", Eulberg's "Bionik" and Loco Dice's "Carthago" even belong to the absolute high-flyers, and with Fuckaponydelic's "Switch the Lights", the first big release of this year is also included. "ZWEI" continues where the first label revue "EINS" had stopped and will be anticipated particularly by fans and clubbers who don't have a record player anymore but have not completely switched to mp3 yet. 
A CD containing the best of the current Cocoon releases, compiled and mixed smoothly by CocoonClub's Next Generation host Chris Tietjen. 
Chris has advanced steadily since his CD debut and without doubt belongs to the top league of young Tech House and Minimal DJs. With more and more routine, he extends his national and international fanbase. 
Chris has developed into one of our best ambassadors and is a popular DJ who is capable of reflecting the Cocoon vibe and transporting the Frankfurt mood to the clubs. in this spirit... we feel the bassline!

As humans it is a gift to experience the full spectrum of emotion, from grief to despair, to joy and excitement, and in each season we are gifted with new eyes and new life. This mix starts slow with Reggae, Amapiano and Soul sprinkled with poetry, transitioning to bass heavy selections to encourage freedom and release through dance. A slow change, this mix mimics the process of healing and discovering the self after heartbreak.
