バイオグラフィ
- Gilles Wasserman is a Brooklyn based DJ, music digger and emerging producer known for his exceptional ear for innovative and quality electronic music.Originally from Serbia, Gilles’ music career kicked off when he landed a job at a local radio station in Pancevo, a small town just outside Belgrade. Suddenly a whole new world of music opened up to him and he was introduced to DJing for the first time. Throughout his seven years working there, Gilles refined his skills and ear for quality music and found himself gravitating towards b-sides, and dub versions of releases with minimal and deep house grooves. In his nearly 20 year career as a DJ, Gilles sound has evolved with Laurent Garnier and his F Communications label, Brique Rouge records and German minimal house counting as early influences. By the early 2000s, Gilles found himself drawn to a select number of producers like Wighnomy Brothers, Lawrence, Adultnapper and Steve Bug. By this point he was also beginning to realize he was getting inspired by non-electronic artists as well, especially artists like Nils Petter Molvaer and Bugge Wesseltoft. Today he looks to independent underground labels for inspiration such as Kann, Dial, SoHaSo, ESP Institute and Hivern Discs who all are widely known for nurturing innovative talent within the industry. A long time lover of chillout and electronica, Gilles has also been putting out his annual The Morning After compilations for 19 years earning him a cult following as well as putting him on the map as an excellent curator of downtempo beats. Between 2009 and 2011, Gilles also had a successful bi-monthly radio show named ‘Profound’ on Paris 1 Radio. Moving to New York in 2006, Gilles began dabbling in promoting, hosting after hours parties in lofts and on rooftops from Little Italy to Brooklyn, feeling out what would later become a more refined event series known as ‘Fiction’. Establishing himself as a staple figure of the New York dance music scene, in 2015 together with his life partner Irina Kotik he joined forces with Joe Foxton, and Steve Graham who previously founded promoting team Fiction. Known for their incredible summer boat parties, Fiction have established a great reputation for creating intimate events for discerning lovers of house and techno that combines innovative talent with state of the art sound and production. Gilles has had the opportunity to share the decks with Ripperton, John Talabot, Nuno Dos Santos, Baikal, Love Over Entropy, Matthew Dear, Davis, Marvin & Guy, to name a few. He’s also a co-founder of Delayed, a music platform whose goal is to connect the New York underground scene with talent from across the world and to present what is popular in underground electronic music. With his infectious energy and impressive portfolio of gigs already behind him at New York’s premier venues and parties including Good Room, The Cityfox Experience, Output, Elsewhere, House of Yes, Cielo, The Brooklyn Mirage, Analog and TBA Brooklyn (where he was a resident), as well as at Serbia’s ‘Exit Festival’ in 2016, Gilles Wasserman is proving himself to be one to watch on both sides of the pond.
