Sven Väth

Sven Väth is the epitome of the German "global player." His name is inseparable from the German club scene of the nineties. Väth's albums like "Accident in Paradise" and "The Harlekin, The Robot, & The Ballet Dancer" are landmarks of contemporary electronic music. He has a new album out, "Contact" which includes the heralded cut "Your Sweat. "It is a bridge between the eighties and now" says Väth. "For me, it refers directly to the music bands like DAF did then, without it being all retro, though. For a lot of people, sweat is something quite unsavory. I find dancing sweat very erotic. It means intensity and it's the perfect image for letting go, for succumb-ing to the mood." German DJ/musician Sven Väth is truly one of the driving forces behind modern electronic music. His label, Harthouse, is responsible for unleashing many highly creative artists, including SpiceLab, Hardfloor, and Speedy J. As a DJ, his legendary marathon sets have received acclaim around the world. In addition, Väth creates his own innovative music.
