Episode 9: Âme and Dixon’s Innervisions with Martin Böttcher

Quite simply, “Rej” is one of the most iconic house records of the past 20 years. Produced by Frank Wiedemann and Kristian Beyer, AKA Âme, it was also one of the biggest tracks to appear on the hugely influential Innervisions label, an imprint headed up the duo and Berlin house icon Dixon. On this episode, the music journalist Martin Böttcher talks with Vivian Host about the tune that helped take Innervisions, Dixon and Âme from cult concern to the main stage.

The history of Berlin music in the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s is well documented. Punk, new wave, acid house; the fall of the Berlin wall and the stellar rise of techno. By the end of the millennium, more than a million people raved at the infamous Love Parade events every year. Dance music had arrived. But then what happened? Who are the people and what are the sounds that shaped the Berlin we know today? To celebrate 20 years of Red Bull Music Academy, Berlin Zwanzig – “Berlin Twenty” in English – explores 20 songs that have defined Berlin’s musical landscape from 1998 to 2018, by way of interviews between Red Bull Radio’s Vivian Host and the artists, journalists and scene stalwarts who bore witness to this fertile period in the city’s musical history.
