Gerd Janson:
Gerd Janson didn’t want to be a DJ. That’s probably why he’s now such a good one.
Born in Romania and raised just outside of Frankfurt, Janson came of age during a time when dance music was experiencing its first major boom in Germany. Things were much different in those days—back then, the average DJ had approximately the same level of prestige as the folks working behind the bar—but the music that had drawn him in all the same, his interest having been piqued by a Sven Väth tape his scout leader had played in the van while the troupe was en route to a hiking excursion. It was a lightbulb moment, and within a few years, Janson was sneaking into clubs and attending clandestine raves, largely content to soak in the culture while spending all night on the dancefloor.
Somewhere along the way, Janson started collecting records and, yes, learning to DJ. But it was his work as a journalist that he first made a serious impact on the dance music sphere, funneling his passion—and his opinions—into his writings for groundbreaking magazines like Groove and Spex. Later on, he fell in with Red Bull Music Academy, becoming a staple of the initiative’s famed couch interviews while conducting thoughtful conversations with a litany of iconic artists.
Everyone, it seems, wants a little bit of Gerd Janson in their life—or, at the very least, at their party. And why wouldn’t they? He’s a genuinely beloved figure, and one who holds up dance music’s most celebrated history and traditions, not via pedantic lectures about the way things used to be, but by doing the work, continually honing his craft and quietly connecting the dots between the past and present. Janson may not have set out to be a DJ, but now that it’s become his life, he’s determined to offer up something that’s ebullient and life-affirming.
