Boom! It crashed in 1991 in the 7th grade of a village school.
With a crystal-clear, transfigured look, Uwe Thoma looked in love with the heavy suitcase monitor to which he had connected his 486DX2-66 and fired off crass, self-programmed sounds from his "Space Sounds" project via the PC speaker.
The subject of the test in music classes was: "Present a musical project".
Playing a piano piece was too boring for him.
Singing a folk song bordered on internal injuries.
So Uwe decided on his music and programming project.
The uncomprehending facial expression of his class teacher and the incredulous looks of his classmates inspired the performance. It wasn't the first time and it shouldn't be the last time in his life that those around him were upset by him. At some point the first school disco, school band, rehearsal room band, the first vinyl, the first club and the first techno live act followed.
...and the realization that you shouldn't touch the hot CPU when a computer crashes in a club.
He got his first turntable experience over a weekend in his own children's room on a colleague's borrowed 1210 turntables. His first techno vinyl was used: "Speedy J - Something For Your Mind". His grandmother brought him the record as a promotional gift from a coffee trip.
At the Love Parade, he listened to Sven Väth at the old Tresor club, and later to Claude Young in the basement, and this gave him inspiration.
Local club visits followed, such as Kassablanca in Jena, Muna in Gera, the Leipzig Opera and, most important: Distillery Leipzig, in which he played his set years later.
On a Wednesday he was thrown straight in the cold water end and had to rock the entire evening program in the club with some crates of vinyl.
Participation in founding a real underground club gave Uwe his first appearance on a flyer. Of course it didn't stop there. He lived out his great love for techno everywhere. The music had to groove and throb!
He played his first gigs supporting Jens Mahlstedt, Chris Liebling, Wighnomy Brothers, Miss Kittin and Roland Casper.
The contact to different people in the scene made life as colorful as his world view.
At this point, Uwe was published at Katermukke, Einmusika, Autektone and more labels.
Uwe plays electronic music that cannot be “categorized” uniformly.
His sets are full of energy and variety.
What matters is the music.
