Exploring new textures by unifying contrasts in order to open spaces to unheard sound perspectives. That´s what Richard Zepezauer mainly drives in every musical enviroment.
Richard has been a present figure in the Berlin electronic music scene for the last decade. He started to work for the experimental music label ~scape in 2007.
His own label n s y d e, founded in 2011 against the backdrop of the fading idealism in the electronic music to fortify pure and unadulterated music and art against commerce in the club music culture and for that it receives much love by connaisseurs and taste makers all over the planet.
In the same year started to organize together with Detroit maestro Mike Huckaby an event with the aim to connect contemporary free electronic music with the legacy of the intergalactical music of freejazz composer and bandleader legend Sun Ra.
The “Sun Ra Sessions” have been invited for the Berlin – Detroit One Circle Festival alongside Mike Banks, Mark Ernestus, Juan Atkins or Dimitri Hegemann and he also has been asked by The Sun Ra Arkestra under the leadership of Marshall Allen to take part and play on their Berlin concert.
As DJ Richard Zepezauer is known for artfully merging genres and feelings with ease and finesse. He flips places like Berghain/Panorama Bar or Concrete Paris, from pumping sweatboxes into impressivly emotive chambers of sound and back again. Richard´s Clubsets musical range is spanning from raw to soulful. House and Techno are getting contrasted with futuristic electro/electrofunk and Acid House often with preferably some filthy deep disco.
He also crossed over into art projects where he redifines the work of a traditional DJ. Richard has worked with the Berlin Academy of Arts (ADK) under as RZ-1 on a classical opera project Wagner 2013. Further classical music projects together with the prominent 20th century classical ensemble, Dresden Ensemble Courage, Ensemble Adapter finds Richard continually playing with context, texture and tonal values in pioneering ways in order to enter new formats and perspectives for performing as DJ.
All this should give you an impression of Richard Zepezauer’s approach to life and to music: that truly sets him apart at the same time as earning him the respect of the most clued-up people in the Music scene.
