biography
DJ Hell tells about his musical beginnings in an interview with The European : “I was socialized with the German electronic music of the 1960s and 1970s. There were no commercial claims, everything was always a field for experimentation. "
Hell has been a DJ since 1978. From 1983 he played at Club Libella in Kirchweidach , near his hometown Altenmarkt an der Alz , which was also his first residency, in which he mixed new wave , ska , punk , rockabilly , hip-hop and disco during his eclectic sets used. Further stations were residencies in the Park Café and the Megalomania dance hall in Munich , where he was one of the first house DJs in Germany to regularly play house parties, organized the first acid house party there in 1987 and in 1987 in megalomania for Run-DMC at their aftershow party. At the end of the 1980s he had his style in various Munich clubs and halls ranging from New Wave, EBM , Electro and Hip-Hop to House and Techno .
From 1991 Hell was involved in the creation of Peter Wacha 's Disko B label and played a major role as A&R until 1996 . The label's first release in 1991, Silicone Souls Track Who Needs Sleep Tonight , was licensed from Hell, and the B-side is a remix by DJ Hell ( The DJ G. Hell Remix ).
His first self-produced single ( My Definition of House Music , on R&S) became a club hit in 1992 with over 100,000 units sold and thus assigns DJ Hell to the first generation of techno DJs who also released records.
During his time at Disko B and until 1997, DJ Hell was also a resident DJ in the first Munich techno club Ultraschall on the site of the former Munich-Riem airport and later in the Kunstpark Ost .
DJ Hell had further DJ residencies in the 1990s in the Berlin E-Werk and in the WMF, from 1992 also in the Tresor and in the new millennium in Berlin's Watergate .
Parallel to his work as A&R in Munich, DJ Hell also became A&R manager at the Logic Records label in Frankfurt am Main in 1992 , for which he compiled the world's first trance compilation Logic Trance that same year .
In 1993 he lived in New York for a year , where he was booked as Resident DJ with Jeff Mills at Limelight.
In 1994 DJ Hell moved to Berlin and worked for the Hard Wax record store . In 1994 appeared on Disko B Hells debut album feathered Tarred & .
The following year he returned to Bavaria .
Hell was the only German DJ to be invited to a John Peel session with a radio interview in London in 1995 . The session was released on Disko B that same year.
In addition to his work as a DJ and producer, he founded the International Deejay Gigolos label in Munich in 1996 , for which he worked as mastermind, A&R and art director from day one. As a DJ and organizer, DJ Hell curated over 40 Bavarian Gigolo Nights with international DJs and live bands in various Munich clubs in parallel to the label activities . During this period in the late 1990s, numerous releases on International Deejay Gigolos significantly fueled the 80s revival in the German and international club scene and made DJ Hell a co-inventor of the subgenre Electroclash. On International Deejay Gigolos published u. a. well-known greats of the international techno, house and electronic scene such as Jeff Mills , Miss Kittin & The Hacker , Dave Clarke , Tiga , Fischerspooner , Dopplereffekt , Vitalic , Bobby Konders, KLF , Tuxedomoon and Laurent Garnier . Fischerspooner were discovered by DJ Hell and made their debut on International Deejay Gigolos. In terms of style, International Deejay Gigolos focused not only on electroclash but also on the genres of electro, EBM, electronic avant-garde house, tech-house and techno, with influences from the 1980s pop and disco. In the 20 years from 1996 to 2016, Hell released over 300 singles and albums on the label as A&R.
In 1998 Hell's second album Munich Machine was released on Disko B and V2 Records. According to the British Guardian , Munich Machine was an important album that catalyzed the development of Electroclash. The magazine De: Bug wrote in 2000: “The Munich Machine looks like the result of dynamic group work by Munich residents who have gotten into their club situation and who know how to work with it. At every end there is work here and sometimes you get the impression that DJ Hell is trying to outgrow himself in a megamix-like way. This becomes particularly clear when he really mixes different sources. "
In 1999, Arnold Schwarzenegger International sued Deejay Gigolos because Schwarzenegger's likeness was used in the company logo. Hell had to stop selling all records with the logo and pay a fine of 150,000 euros.
From 2000 to 2003 he ran the discotheque and night club Villa Traunstein in the Bavarian town of Traunstein and was responsible for its distinguished, international DJ booking. WestBam , Sven Väth and Jeff Mills performed in the Villa Traunstein .
In 2003, DJ Hell lived in New York for the second time, where he also produced his third studio album, NY Muscle , on which he collaborated with Alan Vega , Erlend Øye , James Murphy and singer Billie Ray Martin , among others . The website allmusic.com wrote about NY Muscle : “This is the sound of nighttime New York City from the outsider perspective of an infamous German named Hell, and it's dark, dark, debauched fun.” / “This is the sound of New York at Night, from the perspective of a notorious German named Hell - a dark, dark, rampant and extravagant fun. "
Geier has lived alternately in Munich and Berlin since 2005. He also relocated the label's office to Berlin. From the early 2010s on, Hell lived mainly in Munich and in his home town of Altenmarkt am Chiemsee .
From 2007 to 2010 DJ Hell was the musical coordinator of the Berlin fashion designer Michael Michalsky , for whom he regularly produced the music for his fashion shows as well as played at the aftershow parties of Michael Michalsky's StyleNite during Berlin Fashion Week .
DJ Hell has been producing music for fashion shows by Hugo Boss , Raf Simons , Patrick Mohr , Dirk Schönberger and Donatella Versace , among others , since the mid-1990s, when he was first asked by fashion designer Kostas Murkudis to play music on one of his fashion shows in Berlin .
DJ Hell also collaborated selectively as namesake or designer with well-known fashion labels. The result: underpants for Wendy & Jim, women's briefs for Agent Provocateur , CD cases for Magma and glasses for the house of joy.
Karl Lagerfeld photographed DJ Hell in 2004 for V Magazine . The photos were then exhibited in a Berlin gallery.
DJ Hell on his affinity for fashion (in Spex # 316/2008, p. 95f): “In England, fashion and music have belonged together for decades. In Germany, on the other hand, there is a tendency to deny a musician competence if he is also defined by the surface, i.e. the visible. You just have to think of David Bowie on the male and Grace Jones on the female and it becomes clear how incredibly fruitful a liaison of fashion and music can be. "
Hell has been touring cities in all parts of the world as a DJ for years and has repeatedly been booked to headline international festivals such as the Love Parade and Mayday in Berlin , Fuji Rock Festival and Wire in Tokyo, the Montreux Jazz Festival and the Time Warp Festival in Mannheim . Hell was the first techno DJ to play at the University of Havana in 1997 . The performance was filmed by a German film team under the direction of Torsten Schulz and shown in the cinema in 2000.
The German film director Romuald Karmakar also shot a chapter of his film "196 BPM" in 2002 about an appearance by Hell at WMF.
Style magazine GQ named DJ Hell 2003 “Man of the Year” in the music category.
In 2009 Hell released the album Teufelswerk , which once again listed several international guest stars with Bryan Ferry , Peter Kruder , P.Diddy , Roberto Di Gioia , Mijk van Dijk , Christian Prommer , Billie Ray Martin and others. The double album is conceptually divided into a “Day” and a “Night” half and entered the Top 50 of the German Media Control Charts.
Hell in an interview with Resident Advisor : “I produced cosmic music in a new way. That's where I come from. I grew up with these early pioneers of German electronic music, and that's why this time I went in this direction, which is often referred to as German electronic avant-garde or just psychedelic music. I went back to the 1970s and tried to make my own version of this music. "
The Guardian wrote in 2009 about Teufelswerk : “Four of them, with Hell as Kapellmeister and Kruder, Prommer and Roberto di Gioia as musicians on synthesizers, acoustic guitars and 'rhythm machines', they roam Europe musically, locate the clairvoyant energy lines, the Kraftwerk Düsseldorf and Jean Michel Jarre's imaginary, futuristic Paris, Pink Floyd in the UFO Club in 1966 and Café Del Mar in 1987, which combine the dark, booming dubstep nights of modern Berlin and, last but not least, the progressive Italy goblins of the 1970s. "
DJ Hell has been supporting the feminist Ukrainian action group FEMEN with various DJ and TV appearances since 2009 .
In his private life, the avowed FC Bayern Munich fan supports TSV Altenmarkt, the football club in his home town, as a shirt sponsor. Contrary to what is often rumored, he does not have a professional trainer license. For the 2006 FIFA World Cup , Hell was booked as a DJ for the opening ceremony in Berlin's Olympic Stadium, but the event was canceled at short notice by FIFA.
In 2013, DJ Hell's remix of Tim Deluxe's track “Transformation” stayed at number 1 on the Beatport techno charts for nine weeks.
In the same year, on the occasion of his 1st birthday, DJ Hell put on an hour live on Boiler Room TV. This clip soon developed into a viral hit, with over 670,000 views to date (as of November 2016).
The countertenor and new wave singer Klaus Nomi interpreted Henry Purcell's original composition from the opera “King Arthur” in 1982 spectacularly as an early hybrid of electronic and classical music. DJ Hell, who has admired Klaus Nomi since his early days as a DJ and has repeatedly played, bought the rights to the original composition and released his newly edited version of the song as a single on International Deejay Gigolos in 2014 .
In 2015, DJ Hell and Sascha Arnold gave a lecture with a picture presentation on club architecture and culture in Munich during the 1970s and 1980s at the Munich Chamber of Architects.
Also in 2015, Electronic Beats by Telekom made a slices documentary about DJ Hell.
For the design hotel Flushing Meadows in Munich, DJ Hell designed one of eleven hotel rooms on the third floor in 2015. The room is designed entirely in black and, as a design element, houses a life-size band of metal skeletons on the keyboard, electric guitar and mic stand above the bed.
For the 2015/16 winter collection of the fashion designer Boris Bidjan Saberi, who now lives and works in Barcelona, DJ Hell produced the music in 2015, which can also be heard in an official Saberi promotional video.
DJ Hell's new album "Zukunftsmusik" has been announced for spring 2017. Like his last studio album "Teufelswerk", it was co-produced by Peter Kruder in Vienna eight years earlier . On Christmas Eve 2016, “I Want U” will be the first single from the album. The accompanying video, produced by Hell, shows original animated gay comic artwork by the Finnish artist Tom of Finland , who died in 1991 and who achieved international fame for his homoerotic drawings by masculine men. DJ Hell had an alternative XXX version cut for gay porn websites.
DJ Hell on “Future Music”: “This album is to be understood for the most part as an homage to gay culture, which with disco, house, Frankie Goes to Hollywood and techno can be seen as the nucleus of club culture. The club culture as we know it today is essentially based on the gay house culture, which DJ Ron Hardy invented in the Chicago warehouse and which Larry Levan continued in parallel in New York's Paradise Garage. "
DJ Hell is designated curator of the nascent Museum of Modern Electronic Music (MOMEM) in Frankfurt am Main.
