“One of the things I’ve learnt from my career is never to play your own new track on your own radio show,” Anja Schneider says. After two decades immersed in party and club culture — from raver to globe trotting DJ, producer, promoter and label boss — when she talks techno, beats and other pieces, people listen. Not least given she’s also one of Germany’s most experienced and respected electronic music broadcasters.
Before all that, though, there was one night in Tresor around 1993. A time long before DJs became rock stars, when dancers trusted venues absolutely, Schneider can’t tell us who was playing — “that wasn’t really important” — but the ear-to-ear-smile she wears when recounting the experience says everything about how much it meant to her. A young girl from a small town outside Cologne was soon relocating to Berlin with the sole intention of diving headfirst into a rapidly developing techno scene.
