Biography of Superkonduktor |  | | Real name / | Simon Moore |
Born and bred in troubled times in the Northern Irish City of Belfast, Si Moore aka Superkonduktor found solace and passion deep underground at the early age of 15 at the famed club 'Shine'. The venue combined a safe haven for young music lovers in a confused city and quickly evolved into one of the most infamous underground techno clubs in Europe. With influence from American based artists such as Green Velvet, Simon developed an initial love of harder percussive house, though as time moved on he discovered the complexity of modern minimal techno through artists such as Richie Hawtin and Adam Beyer.
Fascinated by how the music was designed and performed, it was not long before watching and listening was simply not enough and Superkonduktor saved up for his first set of turntables. The next number of years were spent hosting small parties in the UK and frequenting the bigger venues to sample the finest performances in clubs such as Fabric, the End, and the Glasgow Arches. After several transatlantic moves, he has set up base in San Francisco, producing and running events such as U-Bahng (USA and UK) and Re~set (with his production partner Rodrigo Quinonez) featuring young creative artists on labels such as Perc trax, Auarlism, Drumcode, Berghain, Droid Recordings, Osgut Ton.
His sound ranges from slower, subby, dark, ear catching textures to more driving big room techno.
