BSU 011 - Bruno Schmidt (Louche / AM Collective)

Butter Side Up

For podcast number 11, we welcome fellow Leeds fledgeling and close friend; Louche resident Bruno Schmidt. In Bruno’s own words, this podcast is “"a selection of old and new tracks that I've picked out as a result of the lovely burst of spring we’ve had, with nothing more than sunshine and good times in mind" **Bruno Schmidt** Bruno first became excited by electronic music in early 2007 by Cambridge's longest running house and techno tastemakers, The Priory, who are responsible for throwing the highest quality underground do's for 6 years strong. Their monthly endeavor gave him a small yet accelerated window into the industry and the music from a place where it was otherwise invisible. Simultaneously, he was given remarkable chance to view greats such as Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May, Luke Slater and Andrew Weatherall, all within the confines of a small, lowlit 200 capacity venue. Although always music lover at heart, it was this time that his tastes began to spawn into what they are today. Next step was Leeds and the with the combination of an uninspiring degree, a dusted over pair of decks in his student lodgings and an extremely versatile music scene, it wasn't long before he found himself alone for days on end, exploring the four corners of dance music, experimenting with various styles and developing his sound. Blown away by Performances from Louche favorites Seth Troxler and Miss Fitz opening it's second year, he swiftly made contact, first promoting, before eventually muscling his way onto the roster, becoming Louche's newest and youngest resident. After an internship in the press department at London's infamous Fabric in early 2010, he decided to pursue an interest in the journalistic side of the industry and has since taken the reigns as wordsmith, providing consistent new music media for the website. Whilst groovy, hypnotic house cuts structure many of Bruno's set, his tastes are deeply eclectic and he continually strives to be the true musical fanatic, exhaustively searching for new flavours and never letting his sound become stagnant. Expect bootlegs, classics, and a fair few of his own edits! http://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/brunoschmidt http://soundcloud.com/bruno-schmidt
