Andy Slate

about

Since he remembers, Andy was always surrounded by music. His dad showed him the way to his passion when he was at the age of 6. One of the first important musical influences were the Beatles, Elvis, James Brown, Herbie Hancock, Depeche Mode and Jean-Michel Jarre. Born and raised in Germany, Andy had his first contact with 2 turntables and a mixer in 1983. At the time he was listening rap and hip-hop. He was a member of a breakdance performance group and was making the music behind the decks by scratching and cutting for the breakdancers. Couple years later when house music came to Europe, he got infected by the beats and rhythms. Andy began to spin at school and student parties while playing with 2 tape decks and 2 turntables. Then he had a residency for a small club next to Mannheim, Germany. Before moving to Hungary in 1997 he ran a club in Germany where he organized drum´n´bass, house as well as techno events. After exploring almost every style of electronic music, Andy decided to represent the sound of Techno. Andy Slate uses 100% concentration to give back a perfect sound by using the DJM600 mixer, 3 Technics MKII turntables and a laptop. His sets are not just one-sided: they contain a bright spectrum of the 21st century´s modern dance music. Andy prefers to play funky techhouse and techno filled with progressive minimal beats and deephouse grooves. When Andy is playing behind the decks, he is totally fusioned with the sound coming out of the sound system. His posi
