Steffen Baumann Sixty Sessions 11-06-2011

Some DJs don’t get along with the crowd. Their ultimate goal is to play unheard-of tracks and get the job done exactly in the way they intended to – no matter, if the audience applauds or or escapes. Others are so nuts for getting acknowledged with applause that they sell their souls unhesitatingly for 15 minutes of fame and glory. Concerning this, it was a blessing in disguise that Steffen Baumann was not a teenager anymore when he began to spin the wheels professionally. Indeed, he started his musical career at a very young age long time before, so let’s start at the beginning:

What do desperate parents do, when their 3-year-old son, by the sound of any music starts beating on any object that he can reach in a height of 40 cm full of passion and joy? In case of Steffen Baumann they bought mini-drums, hired a music teacher and hoped that genius will get the better of madness. The plan worked and soon the out-of-control-drumming was put on the right track. A couple of years later, the guitar also became a part of Steffen`s life. His parents were quite happy when after years of pure noise their eardrums actually caught the sound of a melody. With age came insight, and Steffen decided even before he was 18 to start playing complete songs – the ones pressed on vinyl, which could be brought to life by a record player and were of electronic nature.
