Few people bring a truly original sound to house music – when it comes to longevity and leaving an indelible mark on the genre, you’ve got to bring something new to the table. At a young age, Hamburg based producer Stimming did just that, and has continued doing so for the past 15 years. His meticulously produced, and always emotionally-led music has intoxicated dance floors worldwide as well as served as a backdrop for a range of artistic visual projects.
Stimming started releasing music on the Diynamic label by his early twenties and his breakthrough hit, »Una Pena«, made the electronic world sit up and take notice. 2009 saw him launch his immaculate debut album »Reflections« to great acclaim, and subsequent releases including »Liquorice«, »Stimming« and »Exodus« fortified his reputation as one of the most exciting new producers of his generation. Mixing hand-made textures, field recordings and the latest gear in his compositions, he has earned his stripes as a dancefloor veteran and technical maestro. Over the years, he also released various remixes for the likes of Apparat, Claude VonStroke, Nina Kraviz, Stephan Bodzin and Kiasmos amongst others. In 2016, Stimming released the radically conceptual LP »Alpe Lusia«. Stimming’s sixth album, »Ludwig« continues on the path the producer started five years before with »Alpe Lusia«; ridding the music of functionality to uncover what lies beyond it.
As a highly technical producer, Stimming has always been interested in the latest production tools and gears, and how they might expand his musical lexicon. Over the years, his reviews of such equipment have earned a loyal following. In 2021, he made the move to launch his own professional music hardware together with DOCtron.
In 2023, apart from releasing a live techno album Elderberry on Awesome Soundwaves, Carl Cox’s imprint, Stimming presented his latest project, a body of work, which takes the producer in an entirely new direction. Working with the renowned NDR Vocal Ensemble and conductor Klaas Stok, Stimming combines his electronic beats and soundscapes to the harmony and glory of the choir. With this project, the producer creates an immersive journey that combines the endless possibilities of electronic music with the power and presence of a first-class vocal ensemble.
