Florian Meindl - Biography
There
are not many young people in electronic music that have had such a huge
success as quickly as Florian Meindl. By the age of 21, he had already
released tracks on Stil vor Talent, Resopal, Trapez, Session Deluxe and
Kling Klong and started his own label Flash Recordings together with
Oliver Koletzki.
But let’s rewind a little.
Florian was born into
the idyllic setting of a 3000-people village in upper Austria. Early
on, as a young teenager, he got infected with the virus of electronic
music, quickly falling in love with house, Drum’n’Bass and techno. He
quickly ended up playing in Austria’s big clubs supporting DJs like
Sven Väth, Claude Young or Ricardo Villalobos. But that was not enough
for the ambitious producer. His constant urge to get better is what
drives Florian. After excursions into the production of ambient jazz
and loungy Drum’n’Bass, it was in 2004 that he decided to focus fully
on the production of 4/4 techno and house. After a release on Balkon
Records that was praised by the Chicago House elite, he sent out a Demo
CD to the Berlin-based producer and DJ Oliver Koletzki, who had just
started his label Stil vor Talent and was on the lookout for some fresh
blood. Immediately convinced by Florian’s precise production skills and
great innovative minimal sound, he signed him for a release on the
compilation “Talente mit Stil”. The track became a huge success, paving
the way for Florian’s solo EP “Sputnik” on Stil vor Talent.
In 2005
Florian moved to Berlin for the summer. Inspired by the relentless
party scene, he produced tracks for Resopal, Trapez and Session Deluxe,
defining his signature sound that can be placed between the poles of
tough minimal techno and more melodic electro. His workaholic-attitude
resulted in many releases for the above labels, also getting him an
interview in the style-defining German electronic music magazine
De:Bug. He started to play all around Europe; his tight and innovative
DJ sets have made him a popular choice for bookers and promoters
looking for a high-quality act.
However, Florian is not easily satisfied.
The
urge to constantly wanting to sharpen his production skills and
producing new music made him leave Berlin after only three months in
exchange for London, where he started a course in music production. “I
wanted to continue learning about the production of music and getting
better at what I do. Already, I have learned so much here about
sampling and the music business,” he explains. “Firstly, I am a
musician. Music is the soul that drives me. But I find it very
important to be perfect at what I do. That’s why the technical side of
things is essential for me.”
Florian Meindl is a workaholic and a
perfectionist. Not only in his DJing and production. Together with his
friend Oliver Koletzki he started Flash Recordings in autumn 2006, a
label primarily dedicated to releasing their collective music. However,
today Flash also releases other artists such as the established
producers Daso, Lützenkirchen or newcomers such as Michael Strauss. For
Flash, Florian Meindl takes on the role of A&R scouting new artists
and being responsible for the release schedule and graphics of the
quickly growing label.
