你知道，有时候一个艺术家出现了，你就知道你正在享受人生中最美好的时光。当你听到一张真正伟大的Tensnake唱片时，就会发生这样的事情——而现在在迪斯科半球已经有十多张Tensnake的唱片在旋转了。还记得你第一次在《最后》(I Want you To Cry)中听到梦幻的、(新)浪漫的合成器“刚果或不可思议的向往”吗?或者当《昏迷的猫》中超自然的旋律第一次飘进你的耳中时，你的双脚所感受到的感觉?这就是驱动电子制作人马可·尼默斯基的音乐炼金术。不得不说，它非常强大。1975年出生于德国汉堡，从小就听迪斯科、灵魂乐、布吉和放克音乐。尼默斯基一开始专心听收音机，并与Simple Minds和Duran Duran等80年代流行歌手一起录节目。“我在郊区长大，那里除了听音乐没什么事可做，所以收音机是我身边最令人兴奋的东西。但我哥哥喜欢D*Train, Shalamar, Aura和其他boogie音乐。我大概十岁了，它又来了! But later I listened to everything.” Like most musicians and devotees of dance music, Marco had a couple of club experiences which connected him to the heart of the rave machine. “In 1992, there was a gay club called Front where Stockhausen was a resident DJ. I was totally shocked by something so new – one track I remember being into was Ce Ce Rogers – „No Love Lost.Boris Dlugosch was the resident too and when he played, he was double-tracking and I wanted to do that too! After that experience, I spent all my pocket money buying records – from 1992-1998 I bought every house record that came into our local shop.”But where did the music come from? Well, it was while working at a music promotion company called Public Propaganda - who coincidentally promoted pretty much every big dance record in Germany – that Marco started producing initially.He bought a Yamaha SY85 and a Roland Juno 106 and was just 24 at the time. It was the first step but ever the perfectionist, Marco made music as a mere hobby for several summer seasons.“Six years ago, I started the Mirau label with two friends. The first record „Around The House was a part of The Restless EP, the third Mirau release. “I did it in one night and it felt like a lucky strike,” he grins. “But in 2006 , I was surrounded by the minimal sound and it was so boring. I was inspired by Metro Area who included tiny disco sounds and combined that with house music – thats what kept drawing me back.But how does the Tensnake sound evolve until its truly venomous?“Sometimes I play around and find a melody or I am inspired by something I heard on a podcast. Dance music is all about sampling – but I always reply, my music is sample-free. Im recreating... and Im proud of my ability.” As for „Coma Cat - its already been a serious international hit around the world. Says Marco: “Its crossed over into so many worlds and it gives you a good feeling.” Indeed, the track and the wide-ranging mix compilation „In The House were an instant success for Defected and Marco himself.Its now 2011 and thoughts have now turned to the imminent Tensnake Live + limited edition (which will feature brand new, exclusive re-edits & the new single, live favourite 'Something About You' on Mirau) and the long-awaited Tensnake debut album, which is now in the very early stages on recording. As a live act, you can expect to see Tensnake at Glastonbury, Garden Festival and Lovebox alike and if youre heading to Ibiza, you can catch Tensnake live at Space for We Love, where he has four shows this season. After that, hell continue to traverse the globe with upcoming shows in Australia and North America alike. “Im so happy with the massive year Ive just had,” he smiles. “Im in a good place. But Im looking forward to the balance of shows and proper studio time in 2011. The plan is to work on new material and have my album finished by the end of the year.” Watch this space.http://www.tensnake.com http://www.facebook.com/tensnake http://www.lastfm.de/music/Tensnake http://www.discogs.com/artist/Tensnake http://soundcloud.com/tensnake http://twitter.com/tensnake
