MyMy is a small group of producers and DJ's who formed in 2003 during
the rebirth of Berlin as an electronic music Mecca. Although they
consider Playhouse to be their home label, they have also released
on Circus Company, Aus and Ostgut Ton.
Lee Jones, from Essex, England, was producing and DJing as Hefner
in London before he followed his heart to Berlin and was soon influenced
by the music he heard there. His musical background and preference
towards studio work mean he has a heavy influence on the sound of
MyMy.
Nicolas Höppner grew up near Hamburg and soon after moving to
Berlin became a resident DJ at the old Panorama Bar and editor at
Groove magazine. He now balances his monthly appearances at the new
Panorama Bar and Berghain with his role as label manager for the Ostgut
Ton label, and studio work and touring with MyMy and as a solo DJ.
Originally inspired by the minimal sounds of Hawtin, Villalobos, Luciano,
Lawrence and many others, they soon were able to incorporate many
other influences into their music, such as Deep House, Pop, Hip Hop
and Film Music.
Their monthly party MyMy & Friends at Watergate, has become a
welcome sanctuary for those escaping the relentless loop of dark,
unsoulful minimal techno heard all over Berlin these days. Playing
all night with their third member, Carsten Klemann, they mix old and
new records to create a rich tapestry of music which truly represents
the musical journeys that brought them together.
In 2006, their debut album Songs for the Gentle launched a tour of
their Live show that has so far taken them to 20 countries around
the globe, and they hope their second album, still in production,
will take them even further.
