DJ, producer, promoter, label boss and club owner
Sven Väth is a techno institution. Intimately involved in all facets of dance music over the past 25 years, Väth has been witness to and withstood, almost all of its different developments and trends while remaining a constant fixture in the techno world.
Still one of the most popular and central DJs in the electronic music scene, his
Cocoon franchise continues to go from strength to strength. Since starting in the late ‘90s as a club night, Cocoon has branched out to become Vath's own umbrella organisation. The booking agency looks after many of dance music's biggest names. The label has built up a strong catalogue of dancefloor monsters and mix CDs from people like
Villalobos,
Loco Dice,
Funk D'Void and of course, Väth. And not forgetting the summer residency in Ibiza, which has become an institution on the island.
The most recent addition to the Cocoon family has been a state-of-the-art club in Frankfurt, which opened last year and now sees a constant stream of techno elite gracing its decks. And for those unable to visit the club, Väth regularly takes the Cocoon experience on the road, next week checking into Nocturnal and the
ROBOTS party at BED at the Miami WMC.
Recently, RA had a chat with the man himself on the Tokyo leg of his ‘The Sound of the Sixth Season’ tour.
