Trickski - Berlin Sessions Promo Mix

Created On by i_have_ADD

Trickski is the collaboration of producers and DJs Yannick Labbe and Daniel “Stoerte” Becker. They first joined forces in 2004, even though they’d known each other long before. When they found themselves together after moving to Berlin, they decided it was time to start Trickski. Yannick had just released his first 12” on Daniel Paul’s Cabinet label, while Daniel had figured out he would rather be on the artist side than on the club side of the nightlife business.

Educated by Rainer Truby’s famous jazz and disco knowledge, Yannick and Daniel quickly moved forward towards rougher house and techno sounds. One can hear this evolution on Trickski’s first releases. The greatest surprise and compliment Trickski could receive came from Detroit. Carl Craig, their long time idol, selected “Sweat” for his Fabric 25 compilation, turning it into a small underground hit.

A few remixes later, Jazzanova – impressed by the fresh and unique sound of Trickski – decided to give them the responsibility for a new club series on their label Sonar Kollektiv. This honor was first given to Dixon who started his own series entitled “Innervisions” before, and had recently gone independent with it. However, now it was Trickski’s turn, and thus, “Member of the Trick” was born. Yannick and Daniel served as A&Rs for the sub-label.

Trickskis DJ sets are always fun. They move in a triangle between deep and jacking NY house, through to techno, moody disco and cosmic tunes. One can experience it at their monthly residency at Cookies in Berlin. But be warned; if you are only interested in a straight night of minimal techno you are definitely wrong in checking out Trickski!
