CONTROL 08.13.10 – Wolfgang Gartner // Harvard Bass August 13, 2010

WOLFGANG GARTNER
The name Wolfgang is synonymous with greatness. Name your baby Wolfgang, and he may grow up to be one of the world's leading chefs, or a member of a seminal band like Kraftwerk or Van Halen. In keeping with that tradition, in less than three years the producer and DJ known as Wolfgang Gartner has gone from strength to strength, with eight #1 tracks on Beatport (including the site's best-selling track of 2009) and remixes for A-list artists (Black Eyed Peas, Timbaland, Britney Spears), all lauded by peers such as David Guetta, Tïesto, and Pete Tong.He has played before thousands at events like Coachella and Ultra Music Festival. Black Eyed Peas main man will.i.am has already tapped him for collaborations, and legendary record executive Jimmy Iovine-who has nurtured the careers of icons ranging from Eminem to Stevie Nicks-has displayed a strong interest in Gartner. The number of requests he gets to remix other artists' tracks has reached a point where he elects to decline ninety-nine percent of them ("I generally only work with artists for whom I have great respect and admiration"). As he moves forward, Gartner doesn't want to just advance his art form-he also wants to put a fresh twist on Top 40 fare. "I definitely want to work with pop and rap artists as a producer." So long as his identity and integrity remain intact: "I want to make what I like making, and if a rapper can rap on it, then great." With numerous new projects in the pipeline, he still appreciates the distinction between world domination and overexposure. "I'm definitely about quality over quantity," he concludes. With Wolfgang Gartner, only one thing is certain: his next move is always a surprise.

HARVARD BASS
Born into a family with a musical taste steeped in rich Mexican culture, Victor Hugo Ramos was born with rhythm in his veins. At the pivotal age of 16, he would sneak into house and techno clubs in Tijuana to soak in the waves of early inspiration. Driven by abeat he could not ignore, he sold all his toys and bought his first DJ set up. Showing a blatant irreverence to genre boundaries, he spent the countless hours blending tracks into a hodgepodge of magic much akin to 2 Many Djs. As demonstrated in his debut single “Caked” and “81”, the music of Harvard Bass is a combination of elegant, smooth and sophisticated minimalism on one side and bad ass dirty jacking ghetto house grooves with filthy drums and simple, obsessive riffs on the other. Such a formula has earned him massive support from DJs like Tiga, Laidback Luke, Crookers, Benny Benassi, Diplo, Brodinski, Christian Martin, Jess & Crabbe, Sinden, Feadz, Acid Girls, Fluokids and many, many more.
