There’s an air following the European DJ milieu that evokes a dark and
sexy vibe; the same appeal that accompanies a smoky club scene where a
Marion Cotillard type locks eyes with some mysterious male (Gael Garcia
Bernal). In the moments following, there are a series of coy looks, a
definite game of cat and mouse, followed by a slow motion walk towards
to middle of the dance floor, all lights on them. The soundtrack? German
DJ and producer, Falko Brocksieper.
PullProxy will host their first-ever soirée on November 3 at the Bang Bang Berlin Gallery in Berlin featuring Agaric, Walker Barnard, Falko Brocksieper, Jonas Kopp and Alland Byallo. The event will be broadcast live on Livebeats and starts promptly at 6 PM. The event is free to attend, but all guests must be on the RA roll call for entry.
As Unlike.net writes, "Usually, DJs are just some sort of accessory at gallery openings and
cultural events, yet this event turns that idea on its head. With the
Golden Sun Movement’s acid-house inspired “On” exhibition providing the
background ambiance, PullProxy’s soirée features Djs as the main show
with sets from Agaric, Alland Byallo, Jonas Kopp, Falko Brocksieper and
Walker Barnard. It’s invite only, so get your name on the RA event list for entry."
Falko Brocksieper first encountered electronic music in 1993 when attending numerous raves and clubs, and soon after he began acquiring his own skills as a DJ. The european rave-techno of the time was the initial counterpoint, after-which he discovered artists from Detroit, Chicago and the Midwest, such as Robert Hood, Woody McBride, Daniel Bell and Jeff Mills.
In 1997 he moved from his hometown to Cologne, where he gained further influences from the city’s vibrant minimal-techno and electronica scene. As he had already acquired experience with sequencing programs as a child on the Amiga 500, in 1999, during his studies at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne and amidst various activities in media design, video art and installation, he decided to focus on electronic music production.
Falko Brocksieper’s first vinyl record was released in 2001 on Sub Static label, which he founded in cooperation with Mia Grobelny at that time. Further releases quickly followed on labels such as Treibstoff, Tuning Spork, Resopal, Dumb Unit and Tongut. In 2003 he put out his first album “Hoax Deluxe”, refining his style between hypnotic minimalism and an edgy analog sound. With his unique sound, he became high in demand as a remixer and produced remixes for Akufen, Basteroid, Gabriel Ananda, Dirt Crew, Sid LeRock, Dapayk & Padberg, Benjamin Fehr and many more.
In 2003 he founded his second label, Karloff Rekordings, with the intention of providing a seperate playground for more experimental musical approaches to techno and house. With over 100 releases altogether so far, Sub Static and Karloff have become renowned brands in electronic music today.
Falko Brocksieper moved to Berlin in 2004, in order to infuse fresh energy in his music production and record labels and he released his second album “Heavy Day“ in 2008. With the release of 'Heavy Day’, Brocksieper used the album tour as an opportunity to bring about his first ever live sets which he continues to perform together with over 10 years experience as an international DJ.
