DJ Linus is back on Nordic Trax. The Munich producer and Pacha resident dj steps up with a four-track ep of deep & techy jams aimed directly at the dancefloor, hold tight!
Following on the success of Oxygen EP (NT099, 2019), on his latest release DJ Linus delivers a stellar ep in two parts. The deep vibes are alive on both versions of the lead track It’s All Good, an uplifting song with driving percussion and a subtle vocal hook. On the second half of the ep things get a little tougher with Linus’ signature tech house production on the title track, which features swinging beats and layered dub-house elements. The ep culminates with the aptly titled Bavarian Stomper, a slamming peak-time slice of house music.
Our good friend Linus has been a dj since the ‘80s and started releasing his own productions in the mid-‘90s. After beginning with a string of stand-out releases on the Compose imprint from Compost, he went on to run his own labels Exun (‘99 to ‘09) and subsequently Sujet Musique, which he still runs to this day. He’s also had releases on Get Physical, Gigolo, Loudeast, Go Deeva and Brique Rouge to name a few.
With upwards of one hundred releases and countless remixes, Linus has built a loyal following among the underground faithful. And while it’s hard to highlight one release from his discography, there are a couple that stand above. The 1996 track KB’s Groove (Compose) is notably a favourite of the one & only Danny Tenaglia; and 2001’s Who Stole The Soul (Exun) was a massive hit with worldwide support that spawned several remixes and re-issues. Both are on regular rotation these days as a new generation discover the quality & depth of the ‘90s true innovators – DJ Linus being one.
DJ Linus is a resident at Pacha in Munich, where he has been for 16 years – some run in the club scene! As well as holding it down at the iconic Palais afterhours, he has toured the globe with stops at Fabric, Sub Club, Cocoon and Ministry of Sound along the way. Outside the club can find him teaching production and deejaying at Germany’s biggest school for electronic music.
