DJ TOM SILVER, BBB31

Ein Gespräch mit DJ Tom Silver

Kennt ihr das Gefühl? Man steht in einem Club, geile Musik, die Stimmung ist am eskalieren und den DJ kennt man nur vom Hörensagen. So ging es mir bei meinem ersten Treffen mit DJ Tom Silver Anfang März. Ich dachte mir: „Wie oft habe ich ihn schon gesehen und gehört… und jetzt sitzt er mir gegenüber.“ Heute sitze ich wieder neben ihm, trinke ein Bierchen und wir plaudern für seine Vergangenheit.

Der Traum DJ zu werden

Anno 1989: Vom Fenster seines Elternhauses war das Jugendzentrum „Blaike“ in Sichtweite. Dort fanden jeden Sonntag sogenannte „5-Uhr-Tee“ statt, eine Jugenddisco für 12-18jährige in Völs. Nicht nur Stammgast, sondern begeistert vom damals unantastbaren DJ fasste Tom Silver den Entschluss: „Das mache ich auch.“

Mit 16 Jahren hat er seine ersten drei Lehrlingsgehälter eisern zusammengespart und sich seinen ersten Plattenspieler gekauft. Zur der damaligen Zeit war das Maß aller Dinge ein „Technics 1210“, darunter durfte es für ihn nichts anderes sein. In Oldschool-Manier eignete er sich selbst/selber das Mixen (= Beatmatch) an.

TECHNICS

Der erste Auftritt

Hollywood – Innsbruck 1993: Wieder ein „5-Uhr-Tee“, heutzutage ein Club vergleichbar mit dem Empire, legte Tom Silver zum ersten Mal öffentlich auf. Vor lauter Nervosität blickte er das erste Mal nach einer halben Stunde auf den Floor. Sein bester Freund aus Jugendzeit sagte: „Schau, was da abgeht.“ Tobende Masse, Leute auf den Tischen und den Bars. Ein bewegender Moment für den jungen Silver.

Erste Schritte in Wien

2000 zog Tom nach Wien. Als Resident DJ verbrachte zuvor er einige Jahre in Innsbruck, Dornbirn (Stern), Italien (La Murin) und Schweiz (Arena, Chateau). In Wien legte er zu Beginn im Cube und in der Sansibar auf. 2002 hat ihn das P1 als Resident angeheuert. Seit 2004 ist er Resident DJ in der Babenberger Passage, wo er fast jeden Mittwoch einheizt.

DJ Igor Drago

Posted on June 25, 2012 by cmm

Igor was born in St. Petersburg, Russia. His father was engineer and mother musician and director of St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra. Since the early childhood he was influenced by different music genres, starting from classic to electronic.

Already in young years he discovered his passion for Djing. As he was 12 his grandfather gave him a double-deck recorder as a gift, which Igor used in a very unusual way. Every week he listened to famous European and Russian DJs, which have been broadcasted on Russian radio stations, and after that he tried to create something similar by recording tracks on a cassette without any gaps. These tapes were very popular at school parties but surely not comparable to professional DJ-sets.

At the age of 14 a new computerized era has begun for Igor. With his first computer he also had his first mixing but also first sequencing software, such as Cakewalk. He started to produce his own electronic music.

In Y2K he moved to Vienna, Austria and finally bought his first professional DJ-equipment. During his school years in Austria Igor founded an online journal, which brought fresh daily news mainly from music and nightlife scene.
In 2006 he made his Bachelor of Arts on SAE Institute in Vienna. Already during his study he started to work as freelancer in different multimedia spheres, such as audio & video editing, print and web design, sound design etc.

In 2007 Igor launched an iTunes podcast, where he mixes new house and trance music, upcoming hot club tracks, and unforgettable classics. Highlight of this activity was collaboration with German Online-Radio BASH.FM, which broadcast episodes of it.

DJ Ayminho

Posted on June 24, 2012 by cmm

Ayminho was born in the beautiful capital city of Austria, Vienna in 1990.

The passion for Music started at a very early stage of his life, even before he started his school life. Ayminho used to listen to all different music that came across his hands, regardless the music type, or whether it is new or old. The more he listened to music, the more he got connected to it.

By the age of 12, he started to meet djs and some people who were involved in the music industry. Later at the age of 14, he had his first djing experience by playing for around 1 hour at a private event.

In 2005, he got the best birthday gift, which was an entire set of djing equipments. Hence, he started practising and trying all the kind of music that he ever knew. Finally, he decided to carry on with black and Arabic music.

In the spring of 2008, he had his very first club booking in Vienna, where he played black and arabic music all night long. Regardless the fact that the crowed was satisfied and pleased by his performance, he had to take a break due to personal reasons. Therefore, he decided to take a break. Meanwhile, he spent his time rethinking about his music style and refining his collection of music and improving his skills. He even changed his djing name.

At 2009, he realised that his biggest passion was for electronic music. Therefore, he released his first podcast “Ayminho is here”, which was a big break for him at that time. It got about 600 plays in a very short time. Right after the success of his podcast, he got his first booking as an electronic music dj. Every booking was followed by another booking, which was a strong motivation to release other podcasts at a later stage.

Ayminho believes that djing is way more then just playing music. He believes that a successful dj has to sense and understand the crowds and their movements and should play the right track in the right moment in the right venue.

Furthermore, he believes that the best motivation and stimulus for a dj is to have ever-moving active party people.
