Celebrating a friends birthday is always a special occasion, but when that friend is Sven Väth (OFFICIAL) ’SPECIAL’ takes on a new meaning. For the past two decades Sven has been the figure head of European Techno scene, even on my first visits to Germany back in 1991 he was already a lightning rod in the German scene and his long sets and immersive party experiences were already legendary. Sven was one of the first people to invite me to play in Germany and later I became one of the only international artists to be a resident at his Omen nightclub in Frankfurt. Through the years Sven and I found a common bond within the music we enjoyed and our passion for even the most crazy experiences and over years of playing together, long into the morning (and night again) our friendship grew, celebrating our similarities and respecting our differences. Hanging out together we often referred to ourselves as the Controlled Chaos twins, each of us taking turns at both side of that coin and enjoying (fully) all areas of the nomadic Techno lifestyle. Sven’s passion for the music and his energy for the party never cease to amaze me, and after all these years, after so many life changing moments together, both in the club and in the far corners of the world, I’m happy & honoured to be a friend, collaborator and often, his partner in crime. Sven, congratulations on your 50th birthday, an incredible celebration of passion, longevity and energy that has inspired generations of electronic music fans around the world!
