BE AT: NIKO SCHWIND ( Stil Vor Talent, Berlin )

31-year old NIKO SCHWIND was born in Trier – the birthplace of Karl Marx – and very quickly discovered his own personal “capital”: his love for music and passion for sound. In 2001 he first got the chance to express these true feelings in public. Since then, the same mission was to stretch through his biography like a red line: to invite people on the dance floor on a journey, to tell them a story with his music. Soon enough, NIKO SCHWIND started to play in clubs outside of Trier, in Hannover, Leipzig und Cologne as well as Catania and Belgrade. Big events such as the Alive-Festival, Nature One or Ruhr in Love, moreover, booked him. In 2007 Niko moved to Berlin and quickly started spinning records in prestigious clubs such as Bar 25, Club der Visionäre and Watergate. In February 2009, Niko landed his first booking in South America (a place that he revisited in October of 2010). His reputation opened the door to the famous Vegas club and D-Edge in Sao Paolo, Brazil. It is safe to say that if DJing was his first love, production is his hot love affair. NIKO SCHWIND started producing in 2004, intensely working on sounds and patterns that would make his productions stand out among the vastness of contemporary electronic music. Everything that he experienced on the dance floor is transferred into his productions. His first EP on Autist Records, on which he subsequently released his debut LP in May 2009, gathered the attention of many top DJs such as Jeremy P. Caulfield. It is only a matter of time until Oliver Koletzki took notice of Niko’s productions and DJ sets. In the past two years, he has consequently released two singles on Stil vor Talent that showcase his transition from a minimalistic tech house sound to mature, melodic house music. In the spring of 2011, Niko released his second album ‘Good Morning Midnight’ on Stil vor Talent. The album features collaborations with vocalists such as Fran, but also with other producers such as Channel X, Patrick Blasa or Oliver Koletzki. Come to Chapeau Rouge on the 28th of October to hear and enjoy Niko Schwind and see for yourself what all the talk around Niko Schwind is all about. The rest of the night will feature supporting Czech Djs Roman Rai & Fatty M (Flow, Roxy), Dj Schwa from Beef records and Dj Ark (BE AT:). On the second stage there will Myclick aka Dj Face from Radio 1 and Djs Cashmeer and Sat.
