FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: DJ T-1000 MOVES TO BERLIN
CHICAGO -- International electronic music star Alan Oldham a.k.a. DJ T-1000 is moving from Chicago to Berlin beginning in September.
Oldham, best known for his long-standing art and musical associations with Djax-Up-Beats (NL) and Tresor Berlin (GER), as well as his own Pure Sonik and Generator labels, cites diminishing creative opportunities and a conservative climate in the USA for his European move.
"It's been a long time coming," says Oldham. "I actually thought about it when I was in Berlin playing the Tresor closing event back in April. I could play the music I wanted to play, it was a packed house, and the people were as enthusiastic as ever. I went to Spain the next day to play at La Real in Oviedo, and it was the same story.
"I was like, 'I could be doing this every weekend.' "
After discussing the move with his longtime agent, Natasha Lodh of Dynamix Berlin, a final decision was made.
Oldham isn't leaving Chicago altogether, though. After a year and a half in the city, he intends to keep his place there also, at least for now.
Oldham's European push has already begun. He's confirmed for Massiv, Vienna, Austria, September 3rd. It's his first DJ T-1000 performance originating from his new Berlin base. More dates are forthcoming as part of the Tresor "It's Not Over" Tour 2005. Check: www.tresorberlin.de
DJ T-1000's "The Professional Volume One" EP, four Pure Sonik classics curated by Gayle San herself, is out in September on her own Equator label. Watch for all-new DJ T-1000 music later this year on several European labels.
And Oldham's long-awaited European art debut is confirmed for the Batofar, Paris, France, October 22nd, 2005. He'll DJ there, also. Watch www.alanoldham.com for details.
