Uman HrdTec (Lörrach – GER)
Manuel Weiss, otherwise known as Uman HrdTec, was born in 1987 near Freiburg in Germany.
Music has always played a significant role in his life. Even as a child he listened to Music 24/7. First the charts on the radio, then Hip Hop and Reggae, and finally House and Trance, caught his exclusive attention.
One day he randomly came across a track by Waldhaus & Weichentechnik which instantly triggered his new obsession for Hard-techno. Before long, he started playing around with his own beats with a growing enthusiasm for the vast possibilities in digital sound. By the end of 2005, he put on his music exclusively digital.
At present, he uses a Mac Book Pro, an Evolution UV/33e Midi Controller, 2 x Faderfox DX2 and a Kaoss Pad3. His software includes Traktor DJ Studio, Virtual DJ, Abelton Live and Fruity Loops. His sets are fast, hard but nevertheless melodious. They are mostly composed of tracks by unknown artists, but may also include famous pieces combined with effects, loops and samples. Since 2009 he spends more and more of his free time producing his own original tracks which reflect his love for hard music and fast beats.
But also techno played an ever-increasing role in his life. So he decided, by the end of 2009, to publish his techno sets and tracks under the Pseudonym Celltech.
In 2009 he also started his show-series “Nightlife experience”.
It will be interesting to see what we will hear from him next...
