Magnetraxx



Magnetrixx is Stefan Lewin from Cologne, Germany. The musical development of Stefan Lewin extends over more than 10 years now. He started to play piano for a year when he was nine years old , after that he already started to explore the more electronical ways of music. Since 1995 the project Magnetrixx exists and is continously progressing. After several single-releases on Labels such as Tatsu, Midijum or Leviathan, the bigger success came with the realese of their extraordinary debut album Trittschall in 2001 on Tatsu-Records. At this point Magnetrixx proved without a doubt that it is still possible to produce a new sound! The album featured a very unique style, warm and groovy basslines combined with weird totally kneaded sounds, which are mostly created by stefan himself, found a lot of friends all over the place very quickly. If you try to find words for the Magnetrixx sound, it´s best described as a balance between seemingly opposite influences: it has the minimalistic driving grooves of techno, and it remains true to the building structures of trance. It's futuristic tribal and somewhat mysterious. But above all, it's deeply hypnotic! The secret of Magnetrixx is how they use the tension of opposing elements to their advantage, and the end result is always the same: dance-floor inspiration, as listeners are converted into dancers! On their second album Phase-Shift, Magnetrixx kept their deeply hypnotic sound and balanced it with the warmth of the new UK progressive approach that is taking Germany by storm. The new album Wired maintains the original and particular Magnetrixx hypnotic - magnetic - groove, yet taking it to the next level of humanization and naturalization with brilliant melodies and many musical influences. From 60's Hippies and 70's Disco, through film music and world music to Technical Electronic Music research and beyond. It's a new sound: inspiring, positive, grooving, and versatile. equally suitable for speeding down the autobahn at night, rocking an underground party, or heating up a club dance-floor! The liveset of Magnetrixx is performed from Stefan and his girlfriend Heike (DJane Morgana), which have founded the sideproject Morganixx. Read more on Last.fm.
