Andreas Gehm is a producer from North-Rhine Westfalia mainly releasing acidhouse and electro in the spirit of the late 80ties. Since 2006 he has released a number of records under
various monikers
|
like Elec Pt.1,
Manager_111, The Minister and Trajical Bitch on labels like Bunker Records, Psycho Thrill, Mathematics
Records and Snuff Trax.

Among his influences are soulful Acid masters like Larry
Heard, Lil Louis and Phuture as well as electro pioneers like Juan Atkins and Drexciya. You can listen to a number of tracks on soundcloud to get the
full picture.
I got to know him personally early in the new millenium when we started
to swap old school records from Detroit and Chicago. He introduced me into a
number of classics. When he started to release his ownrecords I was excited since I
know about his excellent taste which he indeed managed to transfer into tracks sounding
like hidden tapes from the original pioneers in the beginning. In the meantime he has developed
his own personal style. I am not sure whether he still uses only analogue
equipment, but this doesn’t really matter, as long as the music has quality and
soul.
What's On Ur Mind is the title
track from his latest EP released on Mathematics Records in September. In my
view it is his best work so far and one of my personal tracks of the year. The
synthesizers are very warm and the intense vocals remind you to think about what is important in life.
Andreas is also performing live acts. If you want to book him don’t
be shy to contact him. He may look grim on pictures but is a cheerful and kind
person. As long as you have you the correct things on UR mind, of course.
