January 24, 2018I cannot remember the dates of the first two events, but I do remember the last one. It was on 10/11/2017, during the Hard Code Project weekend, held at the Hangar of Luka Beograd. I can ascertain that his two hour performance single-handedly made it to the all time top five electronic music gigs I have attended.
Blaring and sensational would be an understatement. He is an excellent producer, especially if you are into the rougher, industrial flavor techno has to offer. He is an in demand, quality remixer, catering for some of the scenes most revered names, and some of his repaints of other people's work outshine the source material by quite some distance.
He is a label owner too, and hopefully Tsunami Records needs no introduction. Recently, mid 2017 if I remember correctly, he also launched a booking agency, Tsunami Booking. Proper artists presenting proper, gimmick free techno should that be your thing.
All around, I'd say a pretty complete techno story from one of Spain's true heroes.
But, in my opinion, what really makes Christian Wunsch stand out is when he walks up on the stage. The performances. Christ almighty. What you have is a man with enough confidence to squeeze bits and pieces of his entire career (solo work, collaborations and remixes) into a tumultuous and relentless discharge of spectacularly galvanizing energy. In his own, true style, he combines sounds of old and new, tweaking it and spicing it up for the maximum pleasure of the modern dance floor. I remember how I always left the place thinking to myself how absolutely awesome the performance was, the best part being, constructed entirely of his own music.
By this day and age, I have probably witnessed a fairly large amount of impressive industrial / techno / off-beat sets or performances, but his are quite simply in a league of their own. Good enough I just have to single them out. He banged out everything, reaching out as far back in the past as White Coats all the way to the jaw dropping rework of Xhei's Hypnotist.
His live-hybrid mix of DJ-ing, live manipulation and sound effects is incredible. I literary wanted to complete my entire Christian Wunsch discography after every gig of his I've attended. Thankfully, I am on a good way to get there.
He not only knows, but understands, the main strengths of his own body of work, comprehends what works best where, and what will move the crowd in a way they want to be moved at a specific moment in time. Absolutely stellar performance. I can hardly praise it enough.
Next time, I will travel far beyond the limits of Eastern Europe to attend one of his showcases. I can hardly wait!
