Christian Quast found his way to electronic music in the young age of
thirteen and backthe progress of his music always was one of his major
priorities. Additionally he then already experimented with music software on
Commodore C-64 and later the good old Amiga 500.
Caused by lots of long nights in Hamburgs Clubs, especially the “UNIT”, his
affection to technoid sounds developed more and more and resulted 1991 in
first steps to an own music studio. His style evolved to a mixture of
experimental and modern sounds, whereby succeeds surprisingly in combining
harder sounds with such melodies, so that the result fascinates a various
kind of people – also those among with more sensitive ears!
The first live acts came 1995 with the project “Aural Seduction” and later
with “Propan". At the same time, Christian was moderator at his German Radio
Show RMW (Future Sound of Hamburg – Music Works), a broadcasting wich run
once a month in Hamburg as a popular contrast to commercial programms and to
spread the news of the young electronic music szene (1992-1997). Lots of
inspiring impressions he may have gotten from their numerous guests:
e.g.Azzido da Bass., Tobias Lampe, Stefan Brügesch or Boris Dlugosch.
At the same time Christian released his first E.p. at Maelstroem Rec., a
German electronic lo-fi Label, in 1997.
There came a time when the broadcast show seemed to be positioned too far
away from the generall audience and the Trance-Hype going on in Hamburg, so
it was abandoned. Christian Quast had to pause his music interests anyway
due to job-related reasons.
2001 fortunately, Christian decided to give room to his own musical visions
again and hit off with a solo project. During this time he enthralled with
very energetic live acts wich left hardly anybody calm on their seats. From
his early years with electronic music on, he always used music as an
expressionform for himself, without any orientation on mainstream – and is
one of the few who manage to fascinate with this instead of becoming just
wacky!
Anyway, 2001 also followed the second release under self distribution and
his Radio Show was resurrected.
After 1,5 Years Christian stopped producing the Radio Show and started the
Webportal "Djznet.de". An electronic Webcommunity !
On the production side, Christian uses both analog and digital synthesizers
and does not want to miss the feeling he has when turning on his analog
machines, as well as he loves the infinite possibilities new digital media
comes with.
Christian participated in projects like "Praefutura" "Open Source" and
“Yatsuo Motoki feat. Paul Sanchez Jun”. Beneath Dienstag with his jazzy
saxophon sounds, Platte 19 with their percussionbeats and the great voice of
Shirin
