BSU 005 - Andre Lodemann (Freerange / Best Works)

Butter Side Up

For our fifth podcast of our series we have a Deep house & Techno mix from Best Works boss Andre Lodemann. The mix is an hour of soothing deepness, that will most definitely get you in the mood for Andre's Leeds appearance when he comes to play for us in January and make his city debut. ENJOY! **INTERVIEW WITH ANDRE LODEMANN** BSU > Hi Andre, how are you? I am ready for a holiday as I had a lot of work to do both creative and administrative preparing my album "Fragments" on Best Works Records which is to be released in may 2012. BSU > You have a number of projects constantly on the go, such as running the Best Works label and producing solo material... how did you first get involved in the industry? If I am honest I started my career playing trance records in the early 90ies :) and then moving on to hip hop and finally house... BSU > What is your most memorable experience of your career so far? My most memorable moment was 1995 buying records in London. the stores in London had a totally different music selection compared to the stores in Berlin. The day I came back from London I played all the fresh tunes on a party in Frankfurt/Oder and the crowd went mad. The tune of the night was "Everybody be somebody" from Ruffneck. BSU > What inspires you? Everything that touches me in my life from bad weather to very personal emotions. BSU > In your mind, is there one album that you feel everyone should listen to at some point in their life and what is it? Kate Bush "Kick Inside", Radiohead "In Rainbows", Massive Attack "Protection", Talk Talk "Laughing Stock", Joni Mitchel "Both Sides Now",... BSU > Butter Side Up prides itself on its eclectic taste in music, what can we expect from your set on Friday? A journey from deephouse to techhouse and back with a touch of disco. BSU> Who are you looking up to at the moment? Can you tell us something about you that not many people know? I like to keep certain things private :) BSU > What can we expect from you in the future? As above mentioned my album incl. a double cd and two 12"es and of course a few new eps and remixes. Thanks Andre, see you on the 13th!
