Biography
MARKUS GARDEWEG
If you hear the name Markus Gardeweg, the first thing you think of is a “pioneer” in music, an outrider and avantgardist. Markus Gardeweg is an innovator in the of dance and house music scenes. He is a symbol of “the finest club sounds” and has played his part in elevating house music to a new level. But the name Markus Gardeweg also stands for “Kontor Records”, the Hamburg based dance label and the most successful of its kind in Germany today. But lets start at the beginning: At the age of 12, Markus began collecting vinyls and organised his first disco evenings. Spinning dance, funk and soul vinyls to some 400 people who were close to going crazy – this was the birth of Markus’s passion. Before long, he was getting bookings for high school graduation parties and sport events. When he started spinning in Hamburgs clubs such as Palladium, Bit on Jungfernstieg, Third World Club and Traxx he had already mastered the same skills as much older colleagues. An important tool in his development was his cell phone, which Markus kept with him at all times. One night, Kontor Records and club chief Jens Thele gave him a call. He asked Markus to play the Kontor club that same night, as the resident had called in sick. Kontor was the coolest club in Hamburg at the time. The whole German dance and house scene gravitated towards Hamburg to go partying at Kontor. In the same year Markus became a Kontor resident, one the biggest steps in his career. Whilst holidaying on Ibiza, Markus gave his colleague Tom Novy a call to get on the guest list for PACHA. Novy not only took him to PACHA, but gave the turntables to Markus and let him spin the whole night.
