Efdemin
Dial, Berlin, Germany
Phillip Sollmann is a gleaming wanderer between dissimilar worlds. A graduate of computer music and electronic media in Vienna, he also studied Berlin's hedonistic club life as a reservoir jock at Berghain and learned the ropes of an arty-but-not-warty record label in Hamburg. Being part of the adorable Dial collective under his pen name Efdemin, he conjures romantic techno and condensed house. Preferably released on good old polyvinyl chloride like his self-titled album. Occasionally referential as a thesaurus and often an equivalent to the nouvelle vague, at other times a musical piece of his is 'just a track'. Catharsis, dear friends, catharsis. And most of all: if house really is a nation, he wants to be its president.

That was a really nice session. It was very interesting to listen to the interview and to get a view into the musical background of Efdemin.
