Andy Slate
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.
In 1983 Andy had his
first contact with 2 turntables and a mixer. 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
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. He prefers to play pumpin' and funky
techno filled with progressive beats and deep house grooves. When Andy is
playing behind the decks, he is totally fusioned with the sound coming out of
the sound system. His positive and energetic sound makes everybody dance and
happy. Andy always tries to let the music speak in a language that everybody
understands.
