Telling good stories is certainly not easy, particularly if you don’t use words. Just like a good DJ set, storytelling is all about creating an arc, putting listeners under a spell and giving the feeling that this story doesn’t have to come to an end. Telling a story with these attributes without using words? How it’s possible is demonstrated by DJ and producer Markus Suckut. Markus’ own musical history began in 1999, at the brink of the new millennium an interest in electronic music was awakened in the young, Germany-based Markus. At the time it was less about committing to one musical direction, than about the excitement of DJing and testing sonic limits. Carried along by the excitement of these inital impressions Markus beganto teach himself to mix and within a few short years his first productions followed. It’s hard to categorise someone who himself detests thinking about music in narrowminded categories and who takes influence from many different styles of music. His own productions are best described plainly and simply with the word techno, techno which often and willingly becomes dub. His sets are wide reaching, and even if they have a common basis it’s difficult to describe what exactly they have in common. Perhaps it is soul, a bit of dreaminess and a tendency towards melancholy that best characterise Markus and his music. Good things take time. A good story can’t be told in passing; accordingly Markus Suckut can be seen as one of the most vocal opponents of short sets, and of a club culture where the next DJ jostles impatiently in the booth waiting impatiently for the start of their own set. To play in his own style, leading the crowd and casting a spell over it, delighting listeners with records selections that go beyond the remit of any kind of DJ charts, this is his world. And in the company of someone who loves to listen to elaborate stories, who detects subtlety while simultaneously appreciating current trends, the listener is in very good hands with both his productions and his sets. Charles Fenckler: Charles André aka Charles Fenckler is a young French producer and the latest in new talent to have joined Soma, the emblematic Scottish record label founded by Slam in 1991. Passionate about music from a young age, he has matured into a full fledged producer composing modern Techno to which he adds his own feelings and emotions drawing inspiration from icons such as Ø [Phase], Skudge or Shed.Fully included into the new generation of talented European producers, Charles Fenckler is a child from post-raves movements living in a world where electronic music doesn’t need to struggle anymore and has been entirely accepted by the society. Animated by these progressives motivations, he’s not looking for models and rather gets to distinguish himself thanks to a total freedom in his creations, taking the best from what he earned along his path. Now rewarded for his painstaking approach to techno music, his tracks are played from Awakenings to Weather Festival and also including clubs likes Berghain, Verboten, Le Rex, Sub Club and Spazio Tempo to name a few. Not to mention this success wouldn’t have been possible without the early support from many of the most respected producers ranging from worldwide known artists such as Jeff Mills, Adam Beyer, Chris Liebing, Joseph Capriati or Alan Fitzpatrick to vinyl diggers that all have forcast the bright future of his. With such musical knowledge for someone so young and a unique sense for banging techno, Charles Fenckler impressed the everlasting Soma Records where he’ll released his debut album due to the autumn 2016. Knowing that the first releases including the huge «District Two» and «Frozen Room» have all gained international attention from media such as DJ Mag, Mixmag, Decoded and Trax, he will be the one to watch this new season.
