Soundroom Podcast 072 - Jan Golly

Heidelberg / Mannheim based artist Jan Golly is one of the shooting stars in the Frankfurt/Mannheim techno area. He was influenced by the HipHop movement in Heidelberg and by the Drum ´n Bass scene in Mannheim, which brought him to the turntables. After first bookings at local festivals or local clubs in 2011, Jan became part of mono recordings and played in the first bigger clubs like “Ritter Butzke” in Berlin or “Unter Tage” Koblenz. Also, his music style started to get influenced by friends and Romanian artists. In 2015 Jan Golly was signed as resident for the new club Parker Lewis in Mannheim. His vibrant and pushing minimalistic sound was perfectly fitting into the concept of the club and completed the resident team of Parker Lewis. At Parker Lewis he played alongside Rhadoo, Praslea, Vlad Caia, Cristi Cons, Dan Andrei and Herodot. At the end of the year 2015 and the beginning of 2016 Jan left his footsteps abroad and played for e. g. at Club EDEN and Guesthouse in Bucharest, Shanghai and Pescara (Italy). In this period, after eight years at the turntables, he even started to produce his own music. His first vinyl releases appeared on Valioso Recordings and KUSI Records. Since then he worked on further music productions and projects with other artists. He will start his own Record Label Kaleidoskop beginning 2019. Keep your eyes and ears open for more!

No other genre of music that I've heard had such complex production methods where you can mix amazing bass grooves with minimalistic percussions/details, super organic sounds and elegant break-beat kicks which fit so perfectly together (and I've heard all from old school house to new deep techno and all in between). As far as Romania getting the title,it's mainly because they are the ones who took it to the next level,mind you this music is a form of micro-house/minimal that had been already in production for many years but on a very underground level - until Romania made it more popular (of course with the help of Ricardo Villalobos). The style of music really is something special,more intellectual in my opinion,because it takes a very trained ear to really understand it and enjoy it. For everyone whom is criticizing that it's only for druggies, this is very invalid information. Maybe the fact that it's so complex - it takes the average listener to take drugs in order to expand their mindset to listen and understand, but for those that get it, they do not need anything in order to enjoy such great abstract style of music." ◆◆
