Sven Väth

Without him, techno wouldn't be what it is today. Sven Väth is the not-yet-grey eminence of quality-conscious dance music made and played in Germany.
From his beginnings as Clubkid and Off singer to the successful symbiosis of the legendary Omen and Väths own label Harthouse to the contemporary Cocoon-empire he has always managed to reinvent himself effortlessly, making sure that he, as well as we, never get bored.
But despite all changes, one thing has always stayed the same: the uncompromising desire to party very hard and his status as a DJ of the highest caliber. Sven Väth: we salute you!
