On WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6th, STUNNA launches a brand new month of broadcasts in 'THE GREENROOM' on BASSDRIVE Radio. During this week's session, STUNNA welcomes stalwart DRUM+BASS producer/DJ SIMON V to the program for an exclusive, debut guest mix.
SIMON "VIVID" JAROSCH was born in STUTTGART, located in the western part of GERMANY. In his youth, he enjoyed the virtual escape of painting pixels and composing chipsounds in the ATARI ST demoscene. With the advent of the internet, he released tracker-music through pioneering netlabels like KOSMIC FREE MUSIC FOUNDATION and RADICAL RHYTHMS. When AltaVista was the premier search engine, he created his first home page.
'ONE NIGHT,', his 1998 debut CD album, was released at age eighteen and earned him the title of 'wunderkind' by GERMANY's music magazine GROOVE. The track "PULSE CODE" was discovered in the UK by JOHN PEEL for BBC RADIO - teenage dreams so hard to beat. This nod gained him the top spot in the DRUM+BASS charts on the first internet streaming site www.mp3.com. It was also voted #1 electronic track on the site by URB Magazine, AMERCIA's leading dance music publication at the time.
Also in 1998, SIMON co-founded the GERMANY D+B label SANTORIN, with his colleague DJ LIGHTWOOD in TüBINGEN, where he released his first vinyl record. The time was right in 2005 when his well-received LP 'BECAUSE WE CAN' landed - as a producer, he was already tagged a "veteran of the GERMAN DRUM+BASS scene" by DE:BUG Magazine.
Lending his skills in the studio to the production of GERMAN SOUL singer FRANZISKA for the 3P label, he took a deep dive into the world of songwriting. This spark ignited the journey of discovering his own voice. His first singing appearance on "CLOUDSPOTTER" secured him a place on JOHN B's 'TO RUSSIA WITH LOVE' CD.
His vocal debut album, 'SEXY GERMAN ACCENT' takes you through neon discotheques and the weird, wild world of dating, delivering his memorable melodies with GERMAN precision. From pulsating grooves to introspective moods, it's a journey that's rewarding, witty and heartfelt. You never thought you'd fall for that sexy GERMAN accent.
Early 2024 saw the launch of SIMON's VIVID COLOR RECORDINGS, an imprint that has been home to releases from the man himself, as well as like-minded producers SMOTE and DEPHZAC.
Please join us this edition of 'THE GREENROOM' as SIMON V graces the show with a special guest mix featuring some of his favorite tracks doing the global rounds. Tune in!
