In the past few years Sam Geiser aka Deetron has emerged as a rising star in the Techno world. His popularity as a Producer has flourished in tandem with his reputation as a dynamic three-deck DJ, and as propelled him across the globe, his work for a growing roster of record labels Music Man, Intec, Phont, Strictly Rhythm and with remixes for the likes off Ben Sims, Damon Wild, Funk d'void, Smith & Selway, Detroit Grand Pubahs, Shinedoe, Legowelt and others, further cemented his position as a genuine talent within the International scene.His list of musical achievements stretch back to the early nineties - and on paper makes it quite impressive.
Born in Bern, Switzerland, Music was a constant in the Geiser family home. Sam's father's activities as a jazz musician ensured that he was surrounded by music from a very early age, sewing the seeds of his own musical interests. But it was Hip-Hop that encouraged this to flourish into an active involvement in music, during his teens. Sam soaked-up the music of Gangstarr, A Tribe Called Quest, and Prince Paul like a sponge, and was quick to realise the role of the turntable within this context, taking up DJing in 1992.Early Hip-House producers, such as Todd Terry, also captured his attention, and Sam began to make the transition to more 4/4 orientated sounds - picking up on the now classic output of Chicago and Detroit-based electronic musicians and introducing this into the sets he was, by now, playing around his home town, and further afield in Switzerland.Things snowballed from there. Geiser's production activity put him on the map, which in turn assisted the growth of his DJ profile.While he's DJing talent as scene him grace the decks at such festivals as I love Techno, Pukkelpop, and clubs like Cocoon, Florida 135 and FUSE.
Possible the most fruitful partnership of his career so far is that with Belgium's Music Man label. The Underground techno label which is part of N.E.W.S, the distribution and record label which sprung from the Music Man Record Shop in Ghent-Belgium in the mid-nineties.Deetron began with the 'Dolls For a Diva' 12" in 2001, and including several more 12"s and a superb mix CD that acts as ample testament to Sam's skills behind the turntables.
Deetron's music brings with it anthemic moments bound to shake a floor up, but the crossover leanings may leave discerning techno lovers a little critical.
