The Bad Guy by Dj Promo

Biografía del artista Dj Promo

Promo Sebastian Hoff Started DJ-Ing In 1992. As A Beginning DJ Without A Permanent Residency He Decided To Organise His Own Events In Local And Sport Clubs. With That Promo Did Two Things At The Same Time. On The One Hand He Built Up A Name With The Public And On The Other Hand He Acquired New Contacts Within The Hardcore Scene. Promo `It Was Great To Book Heroes Of Then Like Pavo Buzz Fuzz And Flamman Yourself And To Learn The Ins & Outs Of DJ-Ing From Them`. To Be Sure That They Remembered His Face He Thereafter Showed Up At Many Hardcore Events.
 
Promo Came Into Contact With The Hardcore Sound When Dance Was Still Not That Fragmented. In The Beginning Of The 90`s He Listened To House Hiphouse And Hiphop. From There On His Musical Taste Developed More Into The Direction Of The Harder Styles. Promo `Especially With Hiphop My Preference Went Out To The Roughness Darkness And Toughness Of For Example Public Enemy And NWA. After That The Step To Hardcore Was Easily Made. I Grew Into It Automatically`. However Promo Was Not A Stereotype "Gabber" Who Walked Around In Aussi Or On Air Max. Or Like He Says Himself `I`m Hardcore On The Inside Not On The Outside`. His Passion For Hardcore Only Increased When He Heard The Music From Germany Italy And Scandinavia. `Then I Knew It For Sure This Is The Music For Me.
 
After Several Small Parties Promo Was Ready To Perform For The First Time On A Large Event. `The First Time I Stood In Front Of A Really Big Audience Was On The Birthday Party Of Erick E In The Palace In Zaandam. In Those Days Erick Still Performed Under The Name E-One. It Was Impressive To Play For The First Time For 2000 People`. Suddenly Promo Was Not Standing On The Dance Floor Anymore But He Was Playing Next To His DJ Heroes. He Remembers `everybody Was There Buzz Fuzz The Chosen Few The Prophet. I Was Part Of The Crew Now`. In The Meanwhile Promo Has Played In The Rex Club In Paris And Next To Carl Cox In The Sports Arena In LA. Also He Did A Tour In Australia And Performed In The Netherlands In Ahoy And The Brabanthallen. Moreover He Has Demonstrated His Mixing Skills On Major Festivals Like Defqon Mysteryland And Almost In Every Important Club. In 2004 He Closed Of Sensation Black What Promo Calls `one Of The Milestones` In His Career.
 
Next To DJ-Ing Promo Himself Started To Produce In 1995. `It Was The Era Of Happy Hardcore And I Started To Miss The Raw Feeling More And More`. In Spite Of Having Not Much Studio Equipment He Was Convinced That One Could Make Better Quality Productions Than That He Heard In General. `I Was There On The Dance Floor For Years And Thinking Why Do You Play This Record? Or `this Is The One`. `This Way I Was More And More Convinced That I Knew What Was The Right Sound What I Wanted To Hear`. In 1996 He Was Contracted By ID&T And In The Years That Followed He Produced Over 80 Tracks For Their Label. In That Time Promo Became A Mature Producer Who Could Stand On His Own Two Feet.
 
Despite The Downfall Of Gabber In The Late 90`s Promo Was Convinced That Hardcore Was Still Not At Its End. `I Had The Feeling That I Was Halfway The Mountain And That The Top Still Was Not Reached` He Says. In The Summer Of 2000 Promo Started His Own Record Label The Third Movement. `I Wanted To Build Up Slowly With Artists That Contributed Something Significant To The Label`. At The Moment The Third Movement Releases The Works Of Nearly Fifteen Artists Like Dana Tommy Pulse Rude Awakening And Peaky Pounder.  
The Sound Of Promo Is Paradoxically Described By Him As `accessible Dark`. Promo `I Am Always Searching For New Sounds And Enjoy To Experiment With Rhythms. On First Instance It Seems Really Dark But As You Hear It More Often Some Parts Become Recognisable In The End`. Promo`s Typical Rough Sound Is Known Thanks To The Catchy Hook That He Can Give To His Productions. One Of The Most Characterising Elements Of Promo`s Work Is His Basskick On Which He Worked On For Years And Is Imitated And Sampled Globally. This Indicates The Influence And Importance Of His Productions On Other Producers Worldwide.
