Rather than waste words, Marek Hemmann has always preferred to let his
music speak for itself. Groovy House, minimalist Techno, sonic sensitivity
and an unbridled joy in melody unite to speak of restless days and magical
nights, tearing holes in the cloud cover and carrying sun beams to the
deepest cellar. However camera-shy Marek Hemmann may be - he always
risks something in his tracks.
His musical roots reach far back into the nineties, when he was absorbing the
spirit of local techno parties every weekend in Jena and its surroundings. Here
he found a deep and blissful connection with people, rhythms, light and sounds.
Inspired by this, Marek Hemmann’s particular sound developed over time: an
essentially reduced but still expressive electronic dance music, aware of its
origins, though always pressing new boundaries of sound. Deep bass meets
voice fragments, shakers and percussion carry the rhythm - funky minimal
techno leaves plenty of free space for other musical elements. Always in search
of the perfect groove, and catchy melodies that resonate for a long time.
Over the years, Marek Hemmann has written countless musical treasures into
the repertoire and more than earned the moniker „unique”. He makes space
and sound accessible to people by crafting it in his own way, and remains above
all the explorer of a genre in which he and his music are long-anchored, but
never stagnant.
Today Marek Hemmann lives in Leipzig and from there tours the clubs and
festivals of the world. Like his studio productions, his live shows direct the
focus first and foremost to the floor, but are always augmented by a very
particular, musically sensitive ease. A sound not only difficult to resist, but
which tells us more about Marek Hemmann than words ever could.
