So far in this blogs very short lifespan you will have heard me talk about Sven Väth in almost every post! Sven started Dj’ing before i was even one

year old! Like Carl Cox who i have also wrote about Sven has been here from the start. Sven hails from Frankfurt Germany and when he started his career just like many Dj’s of his experience he didn’t play Techno! Sven was in a band and in the mid 80′s he started up some of the very first trance labels, in recent times i don’t think Germany is most known for Trance although it has produced Dj’s like Paul Van Dyk. Sven had two trance labels in the mid 80′s which shows how cutting edge his sound was for the time and i would say its people like Sven that created the trance scene. Bringing it up to today and Sven is still there producing music, he still has record labels but his sound is different, His sound is Techno, now this isn’t a new sound like Trance was in the 80′s with the introduction of electronic music, however his sound is still mostly underground, the majority of youth in the UK and around Europe will know all the big Trance Dj’s but Sven and his sound is still reserved for the people in the know, I don’t like using the phrase Underground because its not, but its one way to explain it.

Bringing it up to date Sven has his record label and nightclub called Cocoon. Cocoon the nightclub is in his hometown of Frankfurt but can be found on tour in other European towns and cities, The club has an ever growing fan base which means the demand if there or the label and the sound, Much like Gatecrasher and Cream became the names of Trance; Cocoon is the name of Techno and its the sound everyone wants to hear.

If you want to experience Cocoon then in the UK you need to keep your eye out for them appearing at festivals, you can also usually find them at the Manchester Based club ‘The Warehouse Project’. If you visit Ibiza then you will be unable to notice the large advertising bill boards advertising the night and if you are part of the lucky few you might even get to party with the Cocoon guys though its not something you choose to do; they choose you!

If you cant go to a club then there is a great range of albums they have released, Celebrating their Ibiza residence they have the sounds of the season CD’s e.g. sounds of the tenth season will be the 2009 release as they have had 10 years in Ibiza.
