Johannes Albert "Plus 1" (Frank Music)

Up until recently Johannes Albert spent his weekends travelling through the
German countryside. At his side will always be a bag of records guaranteed to
make the club that is his destination go off that that night. Increasingly he finds
himself in the air over Europe, Asia and beyond as word of his DJ reputation
spreads. This should come as no surprise given the killer combination of running
two of his own labels, dropping 12s on imprints such as White and Retreat, the
multiple well loved online mixes to his name and a host of genre spanning alias
and side projects.
Raised in Würzburg in beautiful Franconia, a young Johannes soon became
enchanted with the house sound of the time and has followed it deep into techno,
acid, afro, EBM, boogie, italo and beyond ever since. He naturally had the
essential DJ quality of being a likeable chap and many of his local heroes gave
him a head start by sharing their DJ secrets with him. Knowing when to drop a
hit and when to take it deep, spacey and underground saw him graduate from his
hometown clubs and quickly establish himself as a staple of the German scene.
This ability to connect with crowds and his heroes alike means a host of
heavyweights have his back, with loyal support from the likes of Move D, who
has been a big fan of his main label Frank Music since its inception in 2011.

Frank Music was started mainly as a platform for Johannes Albert productions
and is home to much of his best work. Highlights have been his own debut album
Hotel Novalis, which reached number two in the Groove Magazine charts and
tracks like All Things Mind Altering, which became a bit of an anthem in 2016.
Fred P, Moomin, Smallpeople and Lauer have also contributed to the label.
2017 sees Frank Music release Moon’s Industrie & Zärtlichkeit, a collaborative
album between Albert and Iron Curtis. The Berlin based pair have been playing
together for some time and the LP showcases some of the darker material the
pair are capable of. This may come as a surprise to the thousands of people who
know Albert from summery, uplifting online mixes such as his set from Fusion
Festival or from Gottwood Festival B2B with Move D. On the side he has an edits label Hip
Edits and when he has time produces acid and techno as HNS-X.

Since moving to Berlin, Johannes has found kindred spirits with the crew of
residents from the notorious party hotspot Renate. Now an official resident not
just in Berlin but with the club’s growing list of international parties, he finds
himself moving floors globally. With the anything goes, super fun approach to
their parties, this is a perfect home base for him to explore his multiple
influences. With this in mind you can be sure he is packing a box of
fully roadtested tricks for his next club adventure.
