The fourth installment of DCS Sessions features:
Henry Chow - Zenit, Lockedgrooves.com, Henrychow.com - Houston
From the East to the West, Henry Chow brings a fresh new sound to the international Techno community. Though he keeps his cool from the outside, Chinese-American Chow lets it rip - in the clubs and
on vinyl. As well all know, Techno keeps progressing by way of innovative producers: Henry is one of these DJs/producers innovators as the excellent Ante Zenit 21 12" is a prime example of. Henry's sound is basically a rougher, synthesized one. Compressed with hypnotic multirhythms and extremely hard percussive / tribal influences. Add minimal repetitive melodies on top of it and there you go. You can hear his latest work already gaining support by the likes of Umek, Christian Smith, Danilo Vigorito, Oxia, Rino Cerrone, Tomie Nevada, Marco Carola, Stanny Franssen, etc. Notwithstanding his young age he is definitely no
newcomer to the scene having been quite active in underground circles since 1996. Being influenced by the Hip Hop culture at an early age, Henry wanted new mixtapes to breakdance to so he found himself buying
two turntables and a bunch of Hip Hop classics. After experimenting with Drum and Bass resp. House he eventually fully embraced Techno. Says Henry about his motivation, "To me Techno has no boundaries. Being repetitive and minimal, it was no secret that Techno was made for manipulation. It's all about manipulation: Manipulating the tracks and the crowd.” After about four years of writing and producing Techno music, Henry makes his debut on Marco Carola’s Zenit Imprint with the “Master Plan EP.” Soon to follow his track on the “From the East to the West” Compilation on Stanny Franssen’s Genetic Recordings Label. With his music in demand, Stateside and International dates begin to follow.

You'll be staying with us at Joe's place. We'll probably drink and spin at Tremor's pad on Friday and then just recover on Saturday and be lazy till we need to go setup at Salute.
Not sure when Henry Chow is coming in, but he'll be hangin out with us as well. I'll tell the guys you're coming Friday.
Dude, you're gonna do fine...trust me. We've had people that were spinnig for their first time and despite rough mixes, everyone had nothing but good things to say. We don't look for mistakes to pick at you about...we're just glad you're coming to hang out. |
