Interview with D-Nox
1) Hi Christian, please let your fans know your complete name.
Hi, my real name is Christian Wedekind
2) Is it true you will have the honor this year to play a Dj set at Canada’s Eclipse Festival ?
Yes I have the honor of playing a DJ set at the Eclipse Festival 2008.
3) Will this be your first time appearance in Canada?
It will also be my first time playing in Canada.
4) Can you give us a small idea of the sound we can expect from you at this festival ?
Wow, heavy question. Since I don’t like to put my sound into certain folders it makes it hard for me to give u an idea. Well lets say I will play Techno which contains elements of trance, house and minimal. I like to pick tracks from all genres and bring them together in my sets. I have to say that I usually never play faster then 130bpm, so u can guess what type of sound to expect.
5) What would be the ideal time for the that type of set and about how long of a set can we expect ?
I love to play the last set, the closing set or at least a set during the afternoon. I dislike short sets, Everything less then 3 hours I dislike, I need time to get to a certain point where things just happen, I call it autopilot. I need to get connected to the crowd, I need to find out where to go with my music and I need to see the reaction to know how far I can go.
6) Your close friend, Frank Beckers, has been at your side the whole time. How did you help each other to grow and become who you are today?
No we are not together all the time, actually the only time we spend together is when we work in the studio or when we are touring. Beside this we life our own separate lives. I live in Berlin and he lives 600km far west. I think the reason why things working well for us, are the fact that we both have a totally different background. I mean I was always a Dj, I didn’t do anything else in my live beside school of course. I was already djing by the age of 12. That was when Beckers probably start to play instruments. I never did that. We are totally different influenced but that what makes us work together so well. We use our different background to creat something unique. Well people tell us it is unique, we never thought about it. But I can imagine it is.
It’s a great symbiosis, it so easy and it makes so much fun to work with Beckers. That I hope it will least for long. I´m very thankful that I have met him.
7) What was the first track you both wrote together ?
The very first track we wrote together was a remix for Air Bureau from Sweden.
It was a remix for their track called “We Sine”.
8) Do you find it hard to work with Frank in the studio?
No I don’t find it hard to work with him. He is a very chilled guy, relax and always open for my ideas.
9) What was the first track you wrote by yourself?
I never wrote a track by myself. I don’t think I´m able to. I tried many times, I started hundreds of tracks but I was never able to completed.
10) In your studio, what is your favorite piece of equipment?
I don’t own a studio anymore. I used to have a studio in the 90ties but I never found the right spot to set it up. So I was always moving with my gear. Now my gear all spread around.
We are mainly working in Franks studio or sometimes when we find the time on tour.
11) In the release of your studio album “Left Behind”, what influenced you to release it as a mixed CD as apose to a regular CD ?
Well we didn’t want to release another boring cd compilation with 8 single tracks.
Nobody at home really cares about the intro and outro of a techno track. Its always 1 minute or more of build up and down. Also we didn’t want to give out our tracks this way. We knew that dj´s don’t buy compilations anyway, that’s why we offered all our tracks at beatport (for dj´s) and for the fan and followers we did the cd the way it is.
1 hour nonstop, flowing and taking u somewhere. We found it more interesting this way.
12) Will there be more D-Nox and Beckers ? maybe plans for a new album?
We just released another mix cd, which contains only tracks by us or collaborations we did with friends. The cd is called “City Lights” and was just released.
After that we will see if we go into another album. We find it more effective to release singles or remixes. They have always brought us bigger response then the album or mix cd´s.
13) Have you tried to work with any other artists in the past?
Yes I have tried to work with a few but never succeed. I´m happy the way it is right now and I wish it will continue.
14) What artist really inspires you at this moment ?
There are a few but I never remember any names. Maybe Dubfires way of producing is what I really like but I´m into so many different styles that’s it makes it hard to name a few. Henry Saiz, Mathew Jonson, Radio Slave and so on. There are so many good artist that give my ideas
15) In your career, what has been your favorite booking and why ?
I always love to play in Japan and Brazil, those places have the best parties and set ups. Also I love to play in Portugal or in Israel. There I always had a great time and those places never let me down. I love to come back to a place where I have played before, this way I get to know the crowd and know what to expect.
16) Last but not least, how is your label, Sprout, doing ? any plans for new releases ?
My label is doing better then ever before. This is because I quit vinyls and release on digital. That saves lots of money. I can release much faster and choose better or bigger remix artist because I have a bigger budget. Also I think I just found the way I wanna go with my label. It took some time but I was never as happy with my label artist and what they write. Last few releases are more than proper. Maybe a year ago I was about to close the label down but now things looking so much better.
Thank you very much for taking the time to complete this interview and we are looking forward to hearing your set at the 2008 Eclipse festival.
All tbe best,
Vincenzo, Dj Clown @ Jester Records
