HANS NIESWANDT
Hans Nieswand was born in 1964 in Mannheim, Germany. For over 20 years, he has been as highly-respected as he is active in the worlds of DJ and club culture, electronic music production and discerning pop journalism. Extensive DJ and lecture tours have taken him from his chosen hometown of Cologne to destinations around the globe. On his own and together with Whirlpool Productions, he has produced six albums and countless remixes. The esteemed publisher KiWi in Cologne has brought out three of his books. Nieswandt has been hosting his radio show on the WDR station Einslive every Wednesday night for years now. This is a man who broadcasts on many channels!
The CD/LP Hans Is Playing House is the first collection of remixes that he has done for his favorite artists, compiled and annotated by Nieswandt himself. Browsing the track list, Nieswandt confesses:
"Looking at this collection of remixes I did for some of my favorite artists, I realized: all I can do is disco (and house – but that's basically the same to me). Remixing, for me, essentially means making disco versions of songs. Whatever the song, I discofy it, I house it up. It's especially fun to "do it" with a song that never knew it could be disco in the first place. Maybe that's why I've remixed so many songs with sophisticated German lyrics lately – there's a global shortage of that type of disco. What the world needs now is more disco with smart German text. So, in all humbleness, that's the kind of disco I'm delivering here. Welcome to my haus!"
