Bomphcast In Conversation 001: Rene Wise

Bomphcast

Rene Wise, real name Andrew Shobeiri. The British producer has already racked up a mighty impressive list of achievements, including releases on Mark Broom's Beardman Recordings and Luke Slater's Mote Evolver label. He's also taken on set at Berghain twice, and on his second occasion, playing the opening set. He's managed to achieve this at the ripe old age of 22, which I think is astounding. His music could simply be described as "body music". Its pacey, refreshing contemporary techno and undeniably groovy. @renewise Rene's bio: Possessing an uncanny ability to create a sound that fuses hip-shaking grooves with a raw but modern touch, Wise breeds a deep sense of knowledge and maturity beyond what you'd expect for an artist of his age. His ear for infectious rhythm derives from a love of classic 90’s era techno, always being drawn to the relentless energy felt in the faster tempos. These influences can be heard throughout his productions and selections as a DJ, winning him a growing fanbase of peers and music lovers alike. 2018 saw the UK-born DJ/producer leaving a strong impression. A digital EP on Mark Broom's Beardman imprint and his first official 12' inch release on the highly respected Mote-Evolver, run by techno pioneer Luke Slater, gained huge reactions from the likes of Rødhad, Freddy K, Blawan and DVS1. The high level of support has continued into 2019, with white label tracks featuring in sets from Kr!z & Dustin Zahn, among others. On the road Wise has made regular appearances at Jaded, London’s Sunday after-hours haven while his Berghain sets have undoubtedly grabbed the attention of the committed Berlin reveler. The remainder of 2019 keeps this young talent busy, with bookings spanning the UK, Europe and, South Africa with more releases set to drop across the next coming months. bomphcast.com
