In the end it seems Ibiza will be able to experience Paul Kalkbrenner´s acclaimed live set as part of the party with greatest expectations in the season, “Space Closing Fiesta” on Sunday October 3rd.
Paul Kalkbrenner has leaped to fame after starring in and producing the soundtrack of “Berlin Calling”, a film which has become object of devotion and cult among techno lovers around the planet. But if we actually take a minute to look into this German producer´s background we will find that he has been out and about for the last 15 years, producing and extraordinary live set exhibitions having very clear from beginning of the 90´s that he did not want to be the tipical dj playing tracks from other djs, he wanted to offer his own music.
His first tracks were edited in 1999 under Ellen Allien´s Bpitchcontrol label. His first EP was named “Friedrichsahain” to which followed subsequent singles and 2 “full lengths” called “Superimpose” and “Time” which together with his continuous live sets drew the German press´s attention leading to releases in popular specialised reviews such as Spex and De:Bug, which contributed in making him internationally known, consequently beginning to djing worldwide.
It was not until 2004 that he strongly defined his unique style in releasing his third album “Self”, impregnating emotions in his beats, but without forgetting the music is directed to dancefloors. His next single “Gebrün Gebrün”, edited the following year became a club hit forcing all the best techno DJS to carry a copy with them, where ever they go.
In 2006 film director, Hannes Stöhr decided to contact him with an idea, he wanted to produce a film about a techno Musician and he wanted Paul to produce the soundtrack, later on he decided that he wanted him, not just to produce the music, but to stair in his film as main artist. They came up with the title together “Berlin Calling”. Paul also spent more than have a year, together with his friend and label commrade Sasha Funke, producing the soundtrack in the south of France.
Once back in the cold and cloudy Berlin, completely focused on the project, he came up with the song “Sky and Sand”, in which his brother Fritz sang the lyrics, becoming this another club anthem braking record sales.
Berlin Calling saw its premier broadcast in German cinemas in October 2008, captivating espectators and critics for reflecting the world´s techno capital club scene so dearly and the dangers to those who pursue these dreams.
This year Paul Kalkbrenner has began a live set tour throughout 12 major cities in the World, already selling more than 50000 tickets in less than a few weeks.
Paul Kalkbrenner will be performing for first time in Ibiza, bringing his live act to the Space Ibiza closing fiesta – “The End of the weekend Invasion” on Sunday October 3rd in “La Discoteca”.
