Self-styled purveyor of ‘percussive wet funk’. Producer and remixer of more than 85 productions in three years, including classics like Orinoko’ ‘Mama Konda’ (Top 20 UK & US club charts). DJ’d everywhere from Germany’ ‘Love Parade’ to London’ ‘Turnmills’ and Chicago’ ‘Karma’. Not to mention a slew of forthcoming releases in Y2K, kick-started by the wickedly minimal ‘Der Schieber’, out March 27th on Perfecto Imprint 48K. Timo Maas is a man with a mission, a man sick of the “cheesy ” that clogs up the clubs and the charts, stifling creativity: “I like the idea of building up a unique sound, of working with different sounds to create something new and fresh. I suppose I may always be the underdog but at least I won’t have sold out like some other German acts.”
Re-rewind to the early eighties: Timo, born and brought up in Hanover, Germany, is just thirteen – but already storming the decks: “I used to play at my friends’ house parties, whilst they were all too busy snogging each other.” And as both Timo and the crowds steadily grew over the next few years, he soon found himself playing the biggest commercial clubs in his hometown – yet still managed to drop the odd credible track into the mix…
It was Timo’ residency at The Tunnel in Hamburg, at the time one of the biggest clubs in Germany, that marked his breakthrough. Teaming up with resident Gary D, the duo produced an “aggressive trance” record that would prove a landmark in his career. ‘Die Herdplatte’ instantly won him acclaim overseas and led to his current involvement with hope recordings. Soon he was booked everywhere from ‘Lakota’ in Bristol to ‘Energy Parade’ in Switzerland, Austria, and of course his native Germany. |

Mini-report here. I got to Ruby around 11:20 and caught the last 30 mins of Alains set. Nice dark, driving progressive tracks but wish I could have been there earlier. Timo came on strong right at midnight. Unfortunately there were only around 25 people on the dance floor and another ~50 upstairs. By 1:00 am, there were about 15 of us left but Timo kept it going. He must have been disappointed with the lack of SF representation on this particular night. He slowed everything down at 2:00 and closed at 2:30. He was a class act to spend the time to bring everyone down the right way. He played a lot of mid-tempo progressive tracks which surprised me. I had expected a super high energy show. I got to shake Timo's hand after his set and saw him walking back to his hotel with his girlfriend. I wanted to invite him to the End Up, but thought he probably wouldn't want to deal with it. I'm glad that I went and sure Timo could tear it up if he had the inspiration. Maybe next time ... I hope he comes back.
Got to The Endup around 3:15 and the place had the best vibe going. Upbeat tech house and deep house, reeling off track after track of quality tunes. Interesting crowd with some good dance skills out there. It always comes back the EndUp. What a comfortable club and how lucky we are to have it in SF.
I hope we can get Alex Kenji to spin at the Endup some day. |
