4.14 | 瑞典当代Techno领军人物MIKAEL JONASSON降临上海

After an amazing night with Par Grindvik, 4x4x4x4 brings another star of Techno music from Sweden on April 14th.

Mikael Jonasson and his unique music energies has already played in Berghain few times, alongside with Len Faki / Markus Suckut / Johannes Heil / Marcel Fengler. Next Saturday, he is going to play at Arkham Shanghai! Stay tuned!

出生与斯特哥尔摩的Mikael Jonasson作为制作人和DJ在业界成名已久，Mikael用他惊人的制作能力，推动着当代跳舞音乐和Techno的蓬勃发展，在EXILE, Figure, Drumcode均有高质量的发行，并且赢得了全世界范围内声誉，从标志性的柏林的Berghain，斯图加特的Lehmann，Ibiza的Privilege到ADE，包括东方的北京Lantern俱乐部都大放光彩。

年少时是鼓手的Mikael 在90年代经历了瑞典Rave文化，开始了对电子音乐领域的扩展，他开始购买合成器以及制作音乐，在1999年完成了第一张发行，经过了数年工作室的努力，Mikael走向国际舞台，他制作的音乐被众多艺术家广泛认可。

2016 Mikael和Johannes Heil / Markus Suckut / Andre Kronert组建了 EXILE 厂牌，接下来的时间，源源不断的发行和演出，加上四位Techno艺术家的联合，他们所表现的文化观念已经不是俱乐部式的音乐场景，是对生活的理解和社会性价值观，现在Mikael继续建立自己的复杂的声音，是一个独特的声音设计和对细节的注意力。在未来，Mikael将继续执着于他的音乐道路。

“Stockholm-based Mikael Jonasson is a long serving DJ and producer who continues to push the boundaries of modern club music with his amazingly crafted, rather rare techno productions. With recent releases on labels like EXILE, Figure and Drumcode, Mikael has earned the support and attention from all the key players in the techno scene, resulting in a busy schedule of gigs around the world. His latest stops included the legendary Berghain in Berlin, Lehmann in Stuttgart, Privilege on Ibiza, Dockyard Festival during ADE in Amsterdam or Lantern in Bejing.

Starting out as a drummer in early years, attending municipal music education, led to the later interest in electronic music. Being a part of the Swedish rave culture in the late 90 ́s, Mikael started to collect pretty much every analogue synthesizer he could afford. What started out as experimental sounds evolved and matured over the years into music, and back in 1999 Mikael ́s first vinyl record was released. Hard struggle in the studio and behind the decks, in combination with being a highly sought after producer in the international techno-scene has resulted in a variety of high quality releases topping the techno charts over a significant period of time.

In 2016 Mikael decided to team up with Johannes Heil, Markus Suckut and Andre Kronert as part of the EXILE imprint. Over the next years we will see a steady flow of releases and label events connected to these four producers and their mutual virtues and values that reach far beyond the music and the bussiness of the electronic music scene.

Right now Mikael continues to build his own intricate sound, characterised by an unique sound design and his attention to details. Strongly supported by fans, radio-stations and DJs around the globe, Mikael ́s journey continues. Artistry through techno, 2018 style.” 

中国非教父级DJ，非传奇DJ，闯荡欧洲、日本、韩国、印度非第一人，运营活动厂牌4x4x4x4，开展和世界大陆的电子音乐文化交流，被欧洲，日本，韩国朋友誉为中国最好的DJ，没有之一（因为他们只认识MAX SHEN）。自幼学习民族乐器琵琶，终止于小学三年级，原因是同班美女同学中断了琵琶训练。

在参与创立了ARKHAM俱乐部之后，他的工作项目是引领众多嘻哈少年回归电子音乐，可惜没有成功。

MAX SHEN在中国众多前辈传奇艺人和众多喜欢洒矿泉水的青年俊才中脱颖而出（青年俊才DJ还喜欢叫人在CLUB里蹲下，起立，蹲下，起立，展现当代猴戏），他始终坚持一种虚怀若谷的谦虚精神，认为DJ只是一个工种，和烤羊肉串一样的，他邀请合作国际人不计其数，确从不拍合影。
