Mathew Brabham / The Electronic Advance is composed by composer and producer Mathias Teichmann.
Mathias was born in Jena in 1980 and grew up in a small idyllic town called Bad Lobenstein. Already at the age of 13 he experimented with one of his best friends on different music programs and that’s how his great passion for producing electronic music arose. He spent countless hours in front of the computer and learned step by step how to use the programs and techniques in composing and arranging music.
In 1996 the time had come, Mathias and Marcel went public with their live act NO-VATION and played their first live gigs. They gained their first stage experiences at events that they organized themselves. It really started for the two in 1997 when they got the chance to play at a big rave, the Groove Up, in the Freiheitshalle in Hof. A compilation was also released, on which, alongside you, greats like Casseopaya and N-SON-X were represented. Despite the early season at this event, they brought the audience to a boil, which did not go unnoticed by the organizer, and so countless performances by the two followed. Among other things at parties of the then very popular techno radio station EVOSONIC, as well as another compilation called Hot House. Among other things, Marcel and Mathias played with DJ greats such as DJ Taucher (a trance veteran, with some chart successes in the 90s such as Infinity), DJ Tanith (from Westbam’s label Low Spirit), Marco Zafferano, (from the legendary label Harthouse) and many more. The high point for both of them was the release of their first album, Trepitation EP, on the Toxic Records label. For reasons of space, the two parted ways in 2002 and the NO-VATION project was put on hold with a heavy heart.
After an artistic break and with new equipment, Mathias started producing again in 2007. After a long and creative time in the studio and numerous tracks created, it was now time to present them to the public and so Mathias founded his first label, City of Drums, in 2009, on which he now has his solo productions, among his new projects, The Electronic Advance and Mathew Brabham published. In 2010 the first single, “Munich Airport”, was released under his pseudonym The Electronic Advance. Other singles followed under this project, such as Calling you and Electro Funk, the latter entered the iTunes charts in Kenya and stayed there for over 10 months. Mathias also made several appearances in Thuringia and Bavaria with this project. Biggest hit for The Electronic Advance was number 2 on the Itunes Charts in Kazakhstan with the title Chasing The Sun, from the single Lazy Days.
With the Mathew Brabham project, Mathias initially moved more in the techno genre, but Mathew’s sound became more and more groovy and melodic until he finally found his new style. And how could you describe this sound, some of you will probably ask yourself now? The best way to describe it is that he moves between dub techno, tech house and deep house. Best of all, you get an idea of his style at one of his gigs where he performs his tracks live and sends the audience into sweaty nights with them.
In collaborations with various DJs and producers such as Nic Pannie’r, Yvy La Fay and Lukka Krasnitzky, Mathew shows a range that he has acquired over the years. Each of these projects has its own unique charm and style, although you can always hear a bit of the “Mathew” if you listen closely. So you may be curious where the journey with him will lead, but one thing is for sure! Even after the long history that Mathew has already behind him, it’s far from over! because he lives for the music! Or rather, Mathew is music!
