Profile: ZUCKERMANN – BERLIN BEAT BOHEMIAN Zuckermann is a Berlin born Bohemian. Thus, he has never minded the gap bewtween the“good life” and the “rough” world of Berlin underground House and Techno. As a result, his music is sophisticated and real with the intention to merge these opposites - the risk of stepping into the void between them included. Zuckermann’s approach is about deconstructing and further developing electronic (dance) music so it sounds interesting and contemporary. In order to do this he uses unlikely but fitting references to other genres (classical, experimental 20th century music, jazz, children’s songs…), non-musical ideas and sounds, as well as contemporary conceptual thinking to craft his tracks. His more floor oriented tunes rock exactly because they are different. This approach and the musical and floor qualities of his tracks have brought him some top-class feedback and plays by many respected artists such as Troy Pierce, Jesse Rose, Todd Bodine, Taras van de Voorde, Chloe, Miss Jools, Brother’s Vibe, or (unlikely) even Pig & Dan. Zuckermann has released on a number of up-and-coming German labels (among them FormResonance - run by Wareika’s singer Florian Schirmacher), but has now turned his focus to Berlin’s Lebensfreude Records where he has just released his rather interesting album “Serendipity” in March 2014. A first remix EPs was out in February with remixes by Falko Brocksieper (Sub Static, Treibstoff, Contexterrior, Tuning Spork) Benjamin Fehr (Catenccio, Foundsound, Brouqade, Frucht) and Stereofysh (Lebensfreude, Pampa). A second remix package just came out May 4, with remixes by Peter Schumann (Kater Holzig, Platte International), Florian Schirmacher (Perlon, Poker Flat, Innervisions, FormResonance) and Tolga Baklacioglu (Lebensfreude, Resopal Schallware, Vent). Concerning his DJ carreer, apart from many upcoming gigs in the frame of “10 years of Lebensfreude Records” (Berlin, Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Hong Kong, Osaka, Kyoto…) he is resident at Dada, Beijing.
