Haito Goepfrich

Haito's MySpace

Haito - the Berlin-based man of innumerable faces and the Doctor Mabuse of German dance-floors. He got hooked by the eclectic early DJ-work of Hans Nieswandt and Eric D. Clark, well-trained on Berlin's Loveparade vehicles, pressed into vinyl by most different labels such as Low Spirit or Acker Records. With his debut album FIAT LUX he has come up with a real concoction of deep, perspective tracks that are hard placed between the world of House and Techno but truly four-dimensional and full of fluffy synths and springy percussion. But we should say no more - be sure to check the album out and take the time to listen to the excellent update on his classic tune E-LOVE! Haito tells us his stories from the club and turns out to be a real master of dramaturgy. The lead single, "Es werde Licht (Let there be light)" represents not only the light that projects celluloid onto the screen, but also the start for a more than diversified round dance of styles, genres, ideas, sounds and beats.
