Ali and basti schwarz - brothers and music lovers. to celebrate 10 years of success as music producers and djs, the schwarz brothers are releasing a double cd compilation album on their own label, souvenir. the first cd is a mixture of ali and basti’s musical influences, spanning their entire dj career (anti pop consortium to frankie knuckles, ewan pearson to marianne faithfull). whilst the second cd is an exclusive selection of the finest tiefschwarz tracks, remixed by their favourite producers and friends (radio slave, matias aquayo, shonky, samim, turntable rocker, kiki…). this release will be supported by the new tiefschwarz single release in june on souvenir, a special vinyl-edition remix package (including additions from carl craig, matias aguayo, radio slave and drama society) and a two-part world tour that started at the end of march. tiefschwarz was created out of a passion garnered since 1990 from their first experiences as djs at the now legendary clubs that ali ran in stuttgart ‘on-u’ (1990-1993) and ‘red dog’ (1993-1997). these wonderful experiences making people dance to the music they were becoming obsessed and inspired by quickly encouraged them to take the step from dj’s to producers. in ‘96 tiefschwarz was created and they began working together with the acclaimed producer peter hoff in stuttgart. their first release dropped in ‘97 and after the success of their second release, ‘music’ on benztown they went on to record their debut album ‘ral 9005′ which originally came out on four music in 2000 and was then seized upon by the legendary classic recordings and got a re-release in 2002. from there the profile of the duo soared to great heights and their djing career reached a new level with tours in australia, usa, south america and eastern europe.
