A lot has happened since the groundbreaking release of Daily Disco on Great
Stuff Records in Spring 2005. Yet one of the most successful Great Stuff
Releases ever, praised by the top djs around the globe. Since then a lot
has changed for that "Luetze"-Guy.
He did a hell-a-lot of productions in 2005 (i.e. LXR, LK-Pro, Elektroluxx,
Bully Boys, Mike Litt, L.Y.T.Z., Electronauts and so forth) with most of
them being played by nearly all the big names in the electronic music game.
Keep your eyes and ears open. More than once people noticed that often
there is that Luetzenkirchen name in the credtis, even if the name is not
on the frontcover of the record. Same for the remixes.
There are also a really huge amount of remixes done by him as well, with a
lot of variation between them and like many people noticed: "as usual,
always on a very high production level, adding to the "brand" of quality
that people now start to expect from Luetzenkirchen productions". And he
delivers.
Then the fall came, followed by the 2005s second most downloaded track of
the year on beatport: "Zombie", where Luetzenkirchen teamed up with John
Acquavia, closing the year with the second Luetzenkirchen Single Counter
Funk, including one of the best Oliver Koletzki Remixes ever and the highly
acclaimed bside track "lazy dog bites the dirt".
Luetzenkirchen, seeming to be never asleep, keeps pushing on, ready to
unleash a spectacular remix of Coburns "Give me Love" in the beginning of
2006, again a Beatport Number 1 for several weeks and an international
slammer. In the meantime he moved to Bavaria/Munich, and throws together
his studio equipment with electro veteran Tomcraft, engineering all
tomcraft tracks & remixes from this time on.
With Tomcraft on top on all that other things he has to do, they are
starting off with a tomcraft remix highlight on Bloodhound Gangs "Uhn Tiss"
Single. BHGs Jimmy Pop was so excited that there will be a feature-single
with Tomcraft very soon. "Luetze" produces. And will deliver. High quality,
as always. Beside of this, Luetzenkirchen founded his own dropout label
"tabula raza" with Systematic Label Manager Marc Romboy, with the third
release waiting just right now in pipeline.
Oh, and yes, Luetzenkirchen still has time to play dj-gigs as well. And
like its nothing new, a lot of them. Round the globe. He is also the first
Great Stuff Artist to play in Asia ever. (Japan, Singapore) And an
Austraila Tour is also planned at the end of this year.
But his intentions ain't being a superstar-dj. His plans for the future:
From being *a* producer to become one of *the* producers. If its possible,
not only in the electronic music. One of his biggest dreams is to write a
full movie score with a classical, orchestral background. We are sure,
whatever the goal is, he will deliver.
By the way: Lützenkirchen is his real name.
more in detail:
Tobias Luetzenkirchen describes himself more often as sound engineer or
programmer, because he doesnt like the word "producer". In his eyes being a
real producer includes different kind of work to do in and out of the
studio.
Working for years with the big names in the electronic music scene (for
example Ramon Zenker (Hardfloor) and co-produced/co-written several chart-
hits (..3 spain/..7 england and around 8 chart entries in the german sales
charts with peak positions around the top 20) now has come his time for
focusing on his own stuff.
Nontheless he does a lot of productions for other artists as well.
Sometimes with his name on it (Acquaviva & Luetzenkirchen) but more often
only in the credits.
Indeed, he just has reached the age of 30 yet, but hes been around in the
studio scene since the early nineties. Beginning as a vocalist for several
dance projects and giving his face for some advertising and modeling jobs
92, he started learning production/engineering techniques 99 with the first
chart entry one year later.
He would say that his production skills simply outclass his dj skills but
nevertheless a lot of people at the clubs he played would say he has some
serious skills at the turntables also. There will be also a live act in the
near future.
Luetzenkirchen not only loves music, he lives it. and through it. he also
played always in several bands over the last 10 years and is absolutely
open minded to other musical influences than electro only, even with the
electronic music style being his greatest, his "one love".
Since the debut of "Solo Artist Luetzenkirchen", where his name appeared
for the first time, there has just only passed one year and he managed to
make it to the german top electro elite in a few months, including superhot
remixes for the likes of Coburn, John Digweed, Yello or Meat Katie.
Most descriptions end like this, but in this case you can bet on it: expect
more to come.
