Infos about Hardy Heller:
The first „real“ contact with music Hardy Heller had already with an
age of 5 years when he started to play classic piano (´till the age
of 16). Fluete is another instrument he learned to play during those
days. As the youngest of 5 children he got in touch with a lot of
different music styles already in his early days. Around an age of 12
he started to collect records himself, so you can imagine that he has
way to much records laying all around him (probably around 30.000).
With 17 „HH“ had his first residence in a club (called Madison) in
his hometown, Neustadt every thursday. There he used to play stuff
like Clash, Nitzer Ebb, Front 242, Depeche Mode, Cure, Throbbing
Cristle, Fad Gadget and so on to a totally fanatic crowd in a totally
packed club. Reached the age of 20 he was offered a residence in a
very well known club at that time in Mannheim called „Koko“. During
that time he studied from age of 21 in Manheim „Economics“ and also
worked in a record shop in Heidelberg twice a week.
He was 24 when he got an offer from ZYX Music / Germany to work there
as an assistant of the Import Manager. After just half a year working
at ZYX he was moved up as the Import Manager. Another half a year
later he was moved to A&R Dance Manager. During that time he was
responsible for some groundbreaking exclusive licensings. So he
licensed tracks like Josh Wink – Higher State Of Consciousness, Winx
– Don´t Laugh, Natural Born Grooves – Groovebird, Tom Wilson - Techno
Cat, Drax Ltd. II – Amphetamine... just to name a few. Also he
installed a new, much more trendy label for ZYX called Acalwan at
that time. DJ Dag, Thomas P Heckmann, Mark 909 King, Josh Wink had
been Artists on that label at that time.
After 3 1/2 years he decided to move to a more underground related
company called UCMG.There he established for example labels like
„Planetary Consciousness“, „Reef Rec“. Artists like DJ Tiesto, DJ
HMC, Dominion, Liquid Child and so on had been exclusively signed by
Hardy and as an „creative manager“ he was responsible for nearly
everything from licensing in and out on excklusive & non exclusive
base. 2002 he left UCMG to do his own thing – his company is called
Auralis Music Management. Hereunder he is working on his own labels
called „On A Mission Rec.“ Also Auralis Music Management is doing
consulting work for the very famous compilation series Space Night
(released by General Electronic Music / Alex Azary in conjunction
with one of the biggest independent TV Channels called BR3).
Licensing productions to other labels is another field. Warner
Chappell, East West Recordings Germany, Dj Tiestos Blackhole
Recordings / Netherlands, Sony Music Germany, Tune Inn / UK and so on
are partners of Auralis Music Management by now.
Hardy Heller himself produced more than 20 tracks by now which where
all quiet sucessfull as well. So his tunes got in the past more or
less regular support from international Top Djs like Sasha, Nick
Warren, Deep Dish, Paul Oakenfold, Seb Fontaine, Paul van Dyk,
Tiesto, Timo Maas... just to mention a few. One of his latest
releases „Tibet EP Part II“ was voted „progressive house record of
the month by the most important german techno magazine called
Raveline. Appearances on international high profile compilations like
Global Underground and / or Top Ten Positions in several Trend Charts
like the Official UK Club Charts, Massive Charts, Balance Charts
proove this as well. New projects are just in the pipeline and will
be released soon.
Auralis Music Management / Hardy Heller is also active in the event
business. A hell lot of parties parties have been celebrated already
since 1994. One goal was and always will be to support the local
scene of Hardy´s home area. But also international sucessful artists
like Paul van Dyk, Taucher, Jerry Bonham, Spesh, Monika Kruse, Chris
Liebing, Inkfish, Thomas P Heckmann, Jörg Henze, Terry Lee Brown Jr.,
Timewriter, Talla 2XLC, Karotte, Gayle San, Nick Warren, Timo Maas
showed up in the past. During the summer he will again do his quiet
famous „Ohral Open Air Parties“ as well as on every thursday evening
a party project called „Weiherabend“. A party at a small lake which
has been held already during the last two summer seasons. The
reactions have been huge and so they will be this year again.
Beside of all that Hardy is, of course Djing himself. This more fun
part brought him so far to a lot of places all around the world. Of
course Hardy Heller is appreciating this fact very much as those
journeys have given and still give him a great opportunity to find
out more about cultures, music, to catch totally different
impressions and vibes. Except Australia he played already on each
continent. Japan (Tokyo, Ossaka, Fokuoka), India (Dehli), Norway
(Oslo), Finnland (Helsinki), Hungary, Egypt, Canada, USA, Spain,
Ibiza (Space & Privilege) and so on were all great influences in
Hardy Heller´s life in general as well in his DJ carrer. Musicwise
his passion is the groovy, tribal, progressive house stuff mostly,
but not only coming from the UK & the States. Tech House and Elcetro
to Minimal are also always possible... so Hardy Heller never tried /
tries to focus to much just on one style. „Be Open Minded“ is the
word which you´ll willhear also in his sets - as Hardy Heller always
have been, since he listened to music.
