| | Description: | For this uniquely personal retrospective spread over twelve vinyl discs, Sven Väth takes us back to the
early days of his DJ career. On What I Used To Play we meet great pioneers of electronic music,
gifted percussionists, obscure wave bands, and innovative producers of a bygone â??new electronicâ?? era.
Rough beats and irresistible grooves from the identification stage of house, techno, and acid remind
us not just how far electronic music has evolved over the past four decades, but how great it was to
dance to EBM, techno, and house for the very first time.
If there is one protagonist of the electronic music scene who has remained curious, innovative and at
the very cutting edge of music for over four decades, itâ??s Sven Väth. His multi-layered artist albums
and Sound of the Season mix compilations have been defining the genre for over two decades, and
even today, he is constantly on the lookout for the next top tune to add to the highlights of his next set.
At least, thatâ??s the case when heâ??s not producing them himself as an artist or remixer. "Actually, it's
always been part of my DNA to think ahead," and nothing had been further from his mind than looking
back at his past, but when in spring of 2020 the international DJ circuit had to be scaled down to
virtually zero, the â??restless travelerâ?? suddenly had time. Time to stop and reflect on "how it actually was
back then, at the very beginning of my career..."
"It was a great trip and with every track, beautiful memories came flooding back".
In the London apartment, he had just moved into, Sven has set up a "little music room", where he
cocooned himself for several days, "to look way back for the first time and review my musical journey
through the eighties, so to speak."
The interim result was six thematically oriented playlists with a grand total of 120 tracks from â??early
80sâ?? to â??Balearic late 80sâ??, together with excursions into afrobeat, European new wave, and EBM
sounds and a few epochal techno/house tracks from the USA in between. From these â??Best of Sven
Väth's favoritesâ??, the project What I Used To Play crystallized. Sven remembers how the Cocoon team
reacted to his proposal: "They found the idea of making a compilation out of it MEGA from the
beginning and everyone said 'Sven, go for it', but then, of course, the work really started, namely, to
clear the rights and to get clean sounding masters of the up to 40-year-old tracks. There was also
disappointment, of course. We couldn't clear certain titles because the rights holders in the USA had
fallen out with each other or simply disappeared from the scene. In short, it wasn't easy, but now I can
safely say we got the most important tracks."
Finally, after two years of research, curation, design, and administrative fine-tuning, the "little
retrospective" from 1981 to 1990 is available. The exquisitely packaged, and three-kilo heavy box set
is not only physically impressive, WIUTP is also the definitive record of Sven Väth's musical
development. On each of the twenty-four sides of vinyl, you can trace track by track, what influenced
him during which phase, and how he took off as a DJ from his parents' Queen's Pub straight into the
spotlight at Dorian Gray. There and at Vogue (later OMEN), Sven became the style-defining player in
the DJ booth that he still is today. - "What I Used To Play (3CD)" is a remarkable compilation album curated by the legendary DJ and producer Sven Väth, released on Cocoon Recordings. This 3CD set takes listeners on an immersive journey through the sounds that shaped electronic music from 1981 to 1990, reflecting Väth's personal influences and club experiences during this pivotal era. The selection features iconic tracks spanning genres such as synth-pop, new wave, early house, techno, EBM, and more?offering both nostalgia for long-time fans and discovery for newcomers. Cocoon Recordings is renowned in the global electronic scene for its commitment to quality releases and innovative artists; founded by Sven Väth himself in 2000, it has become synonymous with cutting-edge dance music culture. "What I Used To Play" stands as a testament not only to Väth?s enduring impact but also to Cocoon?s vision of preserving musical heritage while pushing boundaries. | | | Manufacturer No.: |
