Wolfgang Gartner

Hailing from the down south depths of Austin, Texas comes Wolfgang Gartner (Acclaimed House producer, Joey Youngman), an analog sound maniac with a knack for making people bounce and creating aural chaos. At the now age of 26, this California born composer has been working with electronic music since the tender age of 11, where he was syncing his drum machine to his keyboard to make songs. These forulative years of learning presented Gartner with a series of releases in 2003 on such respected House labels as Tango Recordings, Om Records, Naked Music, Doubledown, as well as his own creations, Fetish Productions & Jackin Tracks. Through his rise to the top, Wolfgang has tried on a few different names for size in order to maintain a fresh looking release schedule, using names such as Mario Fabriani, White Collar Criminals, and Frequent Fliers. Signing with Blue Collar Entertainment in 2004 brought new opportunity with DJing and sparked a series of tours and World traveling experiences that helped to spread the name that he worked so hard to establish, playing everywhere from Pacha, Sao Paulo, to El Divino in Ibiza. Later In 2007, Joey took a huge step in the perfect direction with the formulating of Wolfgang Gartner, an alias designed to focus on a new sound that wasn't so reminiscent of his previous Disco House works. Within one release it was already apparent that he struck oil, and later launched a nice list of singles and EPs through Om Records, landing on Beatport Top 10 Lists and receiving the honor of having an "Essential New Tune of the Week" with Pete Tong on BBC's Radio 1. On top of all this he's launched another label, Kindergarten Records, to go along with his current sound, so don't be suprised to see regular releases and chart topping tracks regularly. Today, with the immense success and endless praise from top DJs and producers Worldwide, Joey has decided to fully pursue the Wolfgang Gartner moniker:

“I realized that I had to pick something and stick to it. So I decided that this new style is the direction I want to go, and to focus all my time and energy on Wolfgang Gartner.”,

says Youngman, and you'll hear no complaints from anybody on the topic, for the sound being brought is just to good to let go. Fresh from the man himself are some teaser versions of his new masterpieces, "Clap" and "Hook Shot", sure hope your ears are ready for some nasty beats!
