As ,,very charming minimal house with Black Forest funk" a reviewer from the United States once assessed the first publication of Joachim Spieth, born 1979 who - as nice as the misty-eyed gaze from overseas may be - doesn't come from the solitude of the Black Forest, but from a contemplative hicktown near Stuttgart.
"Abi 99" appeared at the freshly established label "Kompakt", which combined the outrider labels of German minimal Techno, "Profan" and "Studio 1", which up to that point had never featured any artist outside of Colognes naturally grown former Delirium posse of Cologne. When the british DJ and cult presenter John Peel played the EP shortly after its release in his radio show, it became clear that the years of research with synths and drum machines had been worth while. Inspired by the public interest, Spieth remixed Egoexpress on Ladomat during the following year, and added "You Don't Fool Me", the follow up-12" inch on "Kompakt" and - on the side - published his debut album "Fluchtpunkt" at the Cologne-Stuttgart label "onitor".
With the help of his ability to present a constant variable and diverse musical performance, he quickly was able to win new listeners within the dance music scene, his preferred terrain actually being somewhere between the intersection of minimal Technoscapes, grim sounding Techhouse and playful Ambient. A blend of influences that probably aren't found in the back catalogue of WARP without reason.
In 2003 The Orb-Mastermind Dr. Alex Patterson takes the track "You Don't Fool Me" onto his "Back to Mine" compilation, as Joachim deals with the eighth part of the "Speicher" series on the side of "Kompakt" CEO Michael Mayer, and moves forward with the track "Under Pressure" in the best Cologne-stripped-Techno-style.
Even Sven Väth notes the benevolent on his playlist.
Miscellaneous Remixes follow (for Michael Mayer, Einmusik, Ego Express, Maxime Dangles, Oriol Benedet, Pierce & Wesen, etc.), as well as several compilation licensing and a number of engagements as a DJ - a side of Joachim Spieth that not very many knew about until then. In the past two or three years that has changed. He's travelled in Germany and Europe, where he usually chose the narrow path between harsher House and rather minimalistic Techno, with which he succeeded well.
Since January 2007 Spieth hosts "Showroom", a monthly show on Protonradio/USA with guests like DJ Yellow, SweetnCandy, Marc Miroir,Stephan Bodzin, Maxime Dangles, Larsson, Pelle Buys. In the last months Spieth released 12" "Up and Down" on "Tongut", and "Connect" EP on the german "Paso Music" label (incl. Remixes from Martin Eyerer and Dj Silversurfer), as well as some new Remixes. In summer 2007 Spieth became a part of Paso Music, alongside labelmates Marc Miroir and Sebrok. In January 2008 Spieth launched his new digital label called Affin.

,,Wir alle bewundern den flitterübersäten Akrobaten, der im pudrigen Licht mit klassischer Anmut auf dem Drahtseil balanciert; aber wie viel mehr Kunst gehört dazu, in Vogelscheuchenkleidern auf einem schlaffgespannten Seil den grotesken Betrunkenen zu mimen!" (Vladimir Nabokov) Vielen Dank für die Freundschaft und musikalische Grüße aus München!
