Despite a few mistakes, I find it quite successful, except for the ending, which I fucked up

This is the recording of my liveset  played at Sisyphos. It was my debut at that legendary floor and therefore a very special and intense night!

LIVE @ Sisyphos | Hammerhalle

Happy to present to you my Hammerhalle set. 

It feels unreal for me to have had the opportunity to play on one of my favorite floors ever. 

Again, thank you to the ravers who stayed overnight to watch me play and to those who set their alarm very early to start the day with me

Love
Rad.Lez

Empro's Upcoming Gigs

EMPRO

Empro grew up in Thuringia in East Germany during the late 80s. His interest on the variety of electronic music awakes in the mid-90s. Following the move to Berlin in 2000 and an intense journey through different styles of the new music movement, he quickly dipped into the scene and became an active part of it.

Until today techno music has not lost anything of its charm to him. Empro has the pleasure to play his music in clubs and on festivals all over the world. In 2012 he became a resident DJ at the world-famous club Sisyphos in Berlin.

Empros first DJ gig was in 2003 at Underground Berlin below Alexanderplatz. Numerous gigs followed and within a short time he played in Berlins most popular clubs like Panoramabar, Watergate, Tresor, Bar25, Maria, WMF and Polar TV.

You can describe Empros music as trippy, twisted, dynamic, organic, daisy and always forwards. He is well-known for his energetic enduring TechHouse Sets, alongside he invites everyone to listen, feel and enjoy the music and makes everybody dance like nobody is watching, also himself.

Taken by the desire to create something unique he founded together with Ruede Hagelstein the booking agency Mind The Crap in 2004. Afterwards he decided to set up his own and still ongoing business project „free agency“.

In 2011 he had his own Techno Club called Levee. Besides he is the initiator of varied party series in and around Berlin like HomeSweetHome (in co-op with Marcus Meinhardt) and Betriebsfeier (founded in 2003 together with Coco Berlin). Moreover he supported the Melt!Festival with organizing the Sleepless Floor for many years and was involved in festivals like SonneMondSterne, Fusion and Sonar OFF.

Apart from being a DJ all over, he released since 2006 his own productions and remixes on several labels like BAR25, Heinz Music, Upon.You Records and Freizeitglauben. Empro is currently back in his studio and you should watch out for his next releases.

‘X.D.P.’ has stood for X-tatic Dance Project since the early days of techno, and “Wolle XDP” has become synonymous with me as a DJ.
_______________________________________________________________________
When techno parties first began, there was only ever one big floor. The art of the DJ was to get everyone dancing and lead the crowd into a state of collective ecstasy.
That ideal still guides me today, which is why I don’t categorise music into strict genres. At the end of the day, it’s all electronic dance music – so I simply take what I like best and mix it together.
I never use pre-arranged playlists. Every set I play is created live, in the moment, in dialogue with the dancefloor.
When I play old-school, it’s exclusively on vinyl – with classic turntables, just like in the early days.
For my current sound, however, I work with a Native Instruments S4 that has been hard- and software modified to my specifications – a customised setup that allows me to shape the music exactly the way I feel it, or the way the crowd calls for it.

But it’s not about me as a DJ. I’m not the party – you are!

IMPROVISED LIVE TECHNO
Berlin | Germany


If you love techno, you can't vote right. On a real techno floor, you can be free no matter who you are, if you respect the freedom of all others. Right politics stand for the opposite. if you want this culture to sustain, please get informed and stand up against this oppression.  
So FCK AFD! and be loud against all the populist, right-wing parties around the globe.  They promise you a better future, but history can teach you better. <3

My approach to my music: 
I love loopy and trippy techno. When dancing, I love to let go of everything around me and enter into a deeper dialogue with myself. At this stage, I am 100% in tune with myself. This works for me when the groove drives me and the elements I hear are interesting but not too intrusive. That's exactly what I love to create on the floor.

To achieve this and also to create the necessary element of surprise, I combine different loops randomly and blindly. Since I never know exactly what will happen, I am also surprised and inspired by it. 

If you want to see how it works check out my youtube channel. www.youtube.com/@KenjiTanaka_Official




My instruments:
-Drums (TR8S)
-Bass (Modular)
-Rumble Bass (TR8S)
-Atmos (Fieldrecorder, Drumrack, Ableton)
-Synth 1 (MicroMonsta 2)
-Synth 2 (Polysix VST, Ableton)
-Vocal Samples (Ableton)
-Misc Samples (TR8S)


More nerdy Information:
For each of these instruments, I have prepared about 30 different loops, most of them 1 bar long.
Using the Streamdeck and a self-built ‘Max for Live Tool’, I can select a completely random loop for each instrument with the push of a button. The tonality can be set. To make sure it’s not completely random, I can choose between different categories, such as chords/arpeggiator.
I can control the complexity of the loop using controls.

All instruments run through Ableton (RME Fireface UCXii). With the help of ‘Launchcontrol’ and 2x ‘Midifighter Twister’, I can control all the parameters that are important to me. Filters, reverb, random delay and pitch effects glue everything together.

When playing, I rely on my intuition. I can sense what should happen 2-4 bars in advance. If I feel like I want to hear a new chord pattern, I press a button and let myself be surprised. If I like it, I develop it further. If I don’t like it, I move on.

Since the whole structure is improvised, I am correspondingly excited before the gigs. Because almost nothing can be planned in advance. My biggest clue is whether I dance. If I get myself to dance, I am satisfied with what happens.
