Vince Watson

Real Name:
Vince Watson
Profile:
DJ / Producer from Erskine, Scotland.
He started playing keyboards at the disruptive age of 7. Excelled at music in Secondary school before opening up into electro and Hip Hop in 1987 with Jean-Michel Jarre being his ever guiding influence. As the 90's began, he slowly built up as much equipment as he could afford to start making the music he had been listening to for a couple of years. He decided to go to Stow College, Glasgow to learn more about the electronics and a new technology called Midi. He graduated with an HNC in Music Technology in 1993 and set about his plans to release records. In 1995 he decided to send some demo's away and see what the reaction would be. One week after receiving the demo he had sent him, Dave Angel offered him a contract with his label Rotation. After a couple of 12'' singles he released his debut LP ' Biologique ' in 1999. At this point he had found the style of house and techno he wanted to merge and create his own individual sound. He set up his own Label soon after and in February 2000 he released Bio Records to the public. As his deeper grooves were being concentrated on Alola, he decided to keep the Bio sound more on the Techno side of things.

Reviews & Discussion

Review by Alain_Patrick Oct 24, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
The way Vince Watson manipulates the keyboards, bringing complex multi-chords, dense & fully melodic patches to the contemporary dance music is simply amazing. It makes you feel like a small grain in a deep, huge atmosphere, condensed among the melodies, emotion and rhythms, which by the way seem to fit perfectly in the ears of the intense listeners.
I still have in mind the day Vince played ten and twelve finger chords on a small keyboard when we showed him a House percussion pattern made by Mr. Gil in studio in Santo André. This happened the first time Vince played in Brazil (most precisely at Lov.e Combustível), during a tour in South America, in 2004.
Vince is considered nowadays one of the top Techno producers and live-acts all over the World, and there is definitely a reason for that: this acclaimed Scottish producer has gone through a journey since the very beginning that suggests that he followed a true path of sonic enlightment, which may certainly be at the origin of his high accurate musical feeling.
He absorbed different elements from the important electronic music composers of the end of the twentieth century, from the French showman Jean Michel Jarre to the Detroit Pioneers such as Derrick May & Carl Craig, and he new how to create his own artistic perspective that is a combination between elegant, seductive and emotional ambiances for the true demanding dancefloors.
Thanks must be given to Dave Angel for anticipating Vince's appearance in the international scene, mainly for having released "1st Innovations EP" was released on Dave’s label Rotation.
Through magnificent tunes such as "Mystical Rhythm", "Rainbow Funk" and "Bubbles" (all part of the “Biologique” LP from 1999), Vince Watson's work caused a catatonic impact in the global electronic scene for setting a personal hypnotic perspective of groovy, melodic and atmospheric sounds.
