Redshape – Influences

The mysterious red masked man lurks around the clubs and back alleys of Berlin, most likely humming a Detroit beat whilst psyching himself up for the stage. Emerging from the shadows in 2006, Redshape preaches the mantra of 'True Techno', creating music out of desire and keeping his identity a secret to prevent connections with his personal life cramping the musical style and ideas projected into society. Or something like that.
Creating music of today with a preference of music from the past is a unique quality of Redshape's, but as his mix of influences suggests he also has a soft spot for current pioneers Jamie XX and Burial.
The purist has a bunch of releases on labels such as Delsin, Brainfeeder, Styrax Leaves and Music Man, with a new release due out soon via Boddika’s Nonplus label titled "I Feel Like Riot/The Rift”.
Now over to the man himself with the tracks that have influenced his musical journey…
Catch Redshape at We Concur's first birthday at Corisca Studios on Saturday the 18th of April – ticket and event details here.

Blueprint. I knew this track from DJ sets when I didn’t even know what house music was about. In all those 140 BPM times this gem shined like a light through the night. Saying “Be Together!” – great!
