SVEN VÄTH

Birth Place - Frankfurt
Real name - Sven Väth

Arguably the biggest name in techno today “Papa Sven” is responsible for bringing the underground to the masses through almost 30 years of unfaltering dedication and intuitive musical foresight. In 1996 with his then fledgling Cocoon project, Sven’s vision finally came into its own, forming a global platform for many equally talented artists. Today Sven Väth and Cocoon continue to touch thousands of people across every continent with their inimitable brand of bleepy, emotive, percussive house and techno.

A Dj since 1982, it was in 2001 when Sven's popularity rose. He had bookings world wide and played big festivals like I Love Techno in Belgium, Dance Valley in the Netherlands, Rave on Snow in Austria and Mayday in Germany. His residency at the Amnesia in Ibiza, as well as in New York's top club Twilo and London's The End consolidated his image as one of the Global Players in Electronic Music. Resulting from the wild and rockin' nights in the Amnesia and the chilling and relaxed atmosphere in the After Hour Club Cala Llonga is "The Sound of the Second Season - Noche y Dia", Sven's second MixCD. The first sign of Sven Vath's ninth artist album, a cover version of Serge Gainsbourg's Classic "Je T'aime...moi non plus" in a duet with French DJ Queen Miss Kittin, was released on Dec, 3rd. In March 2002, Sven's new album "Fire" was released. The corresponding Fire World Tour with about 60 gigs world wide lead his way to almost all continents, dozens of countries and the most exclusive and important clubs in the world.

In 2004 six years after Sven's first club,the Omen, closed, Sven Väth opened a new club in Frankfurt: the Cocoon Club. This project is undoubtedly the biggest in Sven's life so far and has set new standards for clubbing worldwide.

Sven's annual World Tour 2006 lasted from January to May. First, he played a few gigs in Europe, then turned to Japan for two shows and went on to South America. In Medellin / Colombia, Sven played an amazing party together with Richie Hawtin and four shows in Brazil, which were also a landmark in his tour schedule. The seventh season of the CocoonClub Ibiza was a highlight lasting for three months, seeing Sven play ten times and the Closing Party "being one of the best nights I ever had." In summer, he headlined several Open Airs like SonneMondSterne, Nature One, Vision, Street Parade and of course the Green & Blue Open Air in his hometown Obertshausen near Frankfurt. Remarkable releases in 2006 were the annual Ibiza Mix CD 'The Sound of the Seventh Season', released in November. In October, a very special highlight took place: Sven played an exclusive show with Underworld at the CocoonClub Frankfurt. In November, his seventh Ibiza Mix-CD was released and immediately entered the german compilation charts at # 6.

From January 26th until May 25th 2007, Sven performed again on stages around the world. Besides European countries like Spain, Italy, France, Greece, Denmark, the UK and Ireland, his annual World Tour also brought him to China, Japan, Argentina, Brasil and to the US.
