«Guido Schneider has been producing electronic music for more than 10 years now. Strongly influenced by EBM he started his first project in 1991 with a friend; his first records released on SPV.
Changes marked the beginning of the new millennium: Guido closed down his label Neue Welten and met vocalist Florian Schirmacher. After their first joint studio session it became obvious that Guido‘s production and Florian‘s vocal skills would complement each other perfectly, and together they founded the project Glowing Glisses, under whose pseudonym they released 3 singles and the album 'Silver Surfer' on Poker Flat.
In 2002 Guido and Glowing Glisses joined Steve Bug, the Märtini Brös and Martin Landsky on the Poker Flat World Tour. Back in Germany, highly inspired, Guido began focusing on his solo project. His first Poker Flat single 'Triple Bolted' (pfr35) and the track 'Moved' showed Guido’s huge potential. Two 12"s followed in 2004: 'Unterwegs mit Guido Schneider' (pfr47) and 'Oh My Buffer' (pfr53). These two 12 inches finally put Guido on the map of internationally acclaimed producers.
Guido was also Steve Bug‘s first choice to remix his unstoppable classic 'Loverboy' for Poker Flat‘s 50th anniversary release. In 2005 Guido contributed the exclusive track 'Las Cuerdas de Las Canarias' to the 'Poker Flat Volume Four' album, alongside artists such as Steve Bug, Donnacha Costello, Argy and Jeff Samuel.
Recently, Gudio joined forces with his old friend Sammy Dee (Pantytec) again, with whom he had worked years ago as Schneider & Radecki. The result of this reunion was the Poker Flat 12" 'Styleways' (pfr63), which also was licensed to Richie Hawtin’s 'DE9: Transitions' album.
As a DJ and producer of international demand, Guido Schneider currently tours top clubs around the world. The new album 'Focus On: Guido Schneider' is the next milestone in Guido’s carreer. It includes some of his best released tracks and mixes as well as some brand new songs and gives an excting overview of his capabilities.»

The Dukes catched up with Guido before his Flight to Montreal !

INTERVIEW:(by Omar Diouf)
«DUKES: Hello Guido ! first of all…we are here to talk about Music, a passion we all share so what I want to ask you is, how did you first get into production/DJ and what still motivates you to do it today ?
GUIDO: It’s a passion, as you said. It keeps me going on and on. I was 15 years old when i bought my first Instrument ( old Roland Juno 106) and my first record was related when I was 16years old. At the beginning I was listening to Electro Body Music (EBM) and this kind of Music. But I turned into techno when I got my first techno compilation called Techno Club (1992) . It was new & fresh ..i loved it and I STILL love it
DUKES: What is the perfect setting for Guidos music to come to life ? in other words, whats your ideal spot for producing?
GUIDO: It depends on my mood & vibe. Sometimes i get a lot of ideas after a long Weekend of work & playing . This happen when I stay calm at home away from everything., then I start to work on my ideas in the studio. but you never can say there is an ideal spot for producing. I guess the best place place & set up is my own studio at the moment
DUKES: Have you ever been to Montreal before ? what have you heard about our scene here ? compared to the US or Europe ?
GUIDO: Yes, I have been Montreal before. I played MUTEK Festival a couple of years ago. I remember it was fun and a very unique scene. Since then I have friends here and from Canada for a long time now, Vincent , Mike, Akufen, The Mole, M.Jonzon, all of them great Guys, (funny, - some of them live now in Berlin), So I am happy and excited to be here and to see how the scene is now.
DUKES: Which upcoming artist would you say is an inspiration nowadays in electronic music ?
GUIDO: There are so many Artist , Dj , Producers are doing a good Job its hard to focus or choose one. Lately i listen to Makam’s and Margaret Dygas Album. I played with Maayan Nidam which was cool. For sure there are much more New Talents we should pay attention to lately.
DUKES: What can Montreal expect from your set on February 18th ?
GUIDO: Ha ha, …. like every time an energetic Trip !!
DUKES: Any new projects coming up ? Collaborations ?
GUIDO: A new Guido Schneider meets Jens Bond called Bob&Curly on “Highgrade records, will come out soon. Then the next release will be Guido Schneider & Pascal FEOS on “LevelNonZero”. I also finished a Remix for my Brother Danilo Schneider on his own Label called, “enough!” and then finally my own Third Guido Schneider Album by the end of the Year on Highgrade Records.»
I hope you wont make any mistakes tomorow ! this is where its going to happen ! See you there
and good luck to Guido !!
