Hello my dear friends, welcome to the holiday edition of the Club Room. I am still giving these hours away to the wonderful artists of the Sous Music compilation, hope you check them out. Today I am really proud to present you Because of Art on the Club Room because he has already been releasing with me for a long time. He is such a great producer and I was quite happy to play with him in London and hope I can present him sometime in Berlin. He had releases on Pets Recordings, Anjuna Deep and Last Night on Earth to name only a few. So check this out, this is Because of Art. Enjoy!

Hi everyone this is Because of Art based just outside of London. Really happy to be doing this mix for Club Room. I intended this mix to be a bit deeper to what I usually play following my release “So real” on amazing Sous Music Compilation. It started deep and ended in more Techno driven tracks. I’ve got a couple releases lined up on Stress Records and more that I can’t announce yet. So follow my social media channels to keep up to date. This is Because of Art and I hope you enjoy my mix! Cheers!

Club Room 244 with Reform

Anja Schneider is a DJ, producer, radio broadcaster, label boss, tireless creative force and mentor, renowned as one of the hardest working figures within the industry. With a new imprint Sous Music and a critically acclaimed new album ‘SoMe’ highlighting a typically inspired past 12 months, she hits 2018 entrenched as one of electronic music’s most vital artists.

Schneider made her most decisive career move during the summer of 2017 when she announced she’d be closing a long and very successful chapter of her life by stepping away from mobilee, the iconic label she founded in 2005.

In its place, sprouted Sous Music, a deeply personal project named after Schneider’s mother, that allowed her the creative freedom and day-to-day ‘in the trenches’ connection with music after 12 years at the helm of mobilee where she grew the label, agency and collective into one of the most influential brands in underground electronic music.

What would follow was a superb nine-track album ‘SoMe’ in November, that oozed timeless class. DJ Mag crowned it Album of the Month and Mixmag proclaimed it to be ‘a seamless, soulful blend of underground house and techno.’

Rounding out a year of change in 2017, was Schneider’s move to the prime-time Friday night slot at major Berlin broadcaster Radio Eins, with a new weekly show ‘Club Room’. The switch occurred after 17 years with Fritz Radio, where her program ‘Dance Under the Blue Moon’ was responsible for introducing a generation of Berliners to electronic music. Additionally, her radio work extends to weekly shows in France and Belgium on the Radio FG network, reinforcing her status as one of the most astute tastemakers in electronic music.

Over the course of her career, Schneider’s ear for uncovering the ‘next crop’ of outstanding talent has been one of the hallmarks of her influence. She’s well known for giving an early platform to the likes of Maya Jane Coles, Solomun and Nicole Moudaber (on mobilee and its sub label Leena Music), long before they became the household DJ names they are today.

It’s this spirit that lives strong for the woman affectionately (and accurately!) dubbed ‘the perpetual motion machine’ as she constantly strives to discover, create and share this passion through Sous Music, her radio shows and the constant gigging that sees her zig zag across the world each week.
