47: C-Rock | House not House | Hanau At Night

🎞️ youtu.be/K0QmkX2Obro Outro 47 was mixed by @c_rock. C-Rock is Frankfurt native Christian Rindermann, a seasoned DJ and house music producer. At a young age C-Rock knew that his career choice would either be music-making or football (soccer) but music had a much bigger draw. "No endless running sessions and no stupid training routines!" says C-Rock. This certainly proved to be the right choice. Over his long and adventurous career C-Rock has moved from humble beginnings, approaching his first set of nightclub decks in 1989, to become one of the heads of the 90s Frankfurt house movement. C-Rock's musical preferences and influences are many, underlying an exposure to a wide variety of sounds in his early years. His DJ sets and productions owe a debt to the early work of Curtis Mantronik and Kraftwerk, mixed with Chicago house, disco and the strong influence of the European electronic body music movement. Despite the different influence streams C-Rock simply calls his style "house music" – plain and simple. C-Rock started hitting his stride in 1994 with his debut 12" on Playhouse and his almighty "Funky dope Trakk", accompanied by the formation of his own long-running imprints stir15 and lofi stereo. It was also during this period that C-Rock was able to hone his DJ'ing talent by throwing legendary events together with Ricardo Villalobos and Yannick (Needs). House- und techno nights with legends like Chez Damier, John Acquaviva, and Carl Craig led to residencies in clubs like Monza and Frankfurt's Box. In 1998 C-Rock released his debut album Track & Feel on his own stir15 label. Hailed as a milestone in the evolution of 'new school' German house music the album received high ratings in SPEX, Groove and de:bug magazine. This was followed with a growing international demand for C-Rock as a DJ as well as collaborations with the likes of Swayzak, Ricardo Villalobos, Sven Vaeth, and Chris Duckenfield (Swag). The new millenium saw the birth of a new project. Founded by fellow Frankfurt DJ Matthias Vogt their Motorcitysoul collaboration entered the new century with a loud bang (and more than a few kick drum booms). Albums and singles for INFRACom!, Simple UK and stir15 were universally acclaimed as well as more recent singles for renowned labels such as Freerange and Ibadan. Motorcitysoul also found time to collaborate with Chez Damier on a stir15 single under the moniker of Kids In The Streets. Besides his Motorcitysoul work C-Rock also joined forces with further house heroes in the likes of Brett Johnson, Sasse, Sascha Dive, Chasing Kurt and Neville Attree (aka Further). He was also one of the resident DJs of the famous megaclub Cocoonclub in Frankfurt where C-Rock shaped the musical appearance of Sven Vaeths club-spaceship for more than seven years until the club had to close. However C did not stop there and continued with his residency for the legendary "Pracht" in Frankfurt and the "Frankfurt Ist Bunt" events (together with Alex Azary, Mengi Zeleke and Sia Sanei). Traveling through space and time... house music – state of mind!
