Slideout | Biography

Hello there! I'm DJ Slideout aka Bertram "Berdy" Murbach from Germany, born February 25th 1985 and now I'll tell you something about my experiences in the hard dance scene during the last 10 years.
1997	I took professional lessons to learn some important facts about rhyhtm, percussion, sound dynamics, keys, harmonies and leads, chords and various elements of music in general. -1998 Musikschule Flensburg e.V. \| Drums & Percussion Studio, -1999 Musikschule Rendsburg

2000	First dance music productions. Yamaha DX27S (Sounds) and Roland TD-7 (Rhyhtm).

2001	When Mirko had his first hit "Stopp & Go" going on rotation at Viva TV and climbing charts in germany, we set up the Uptide Studio for own internal projects. Mirko was busy touring EU and doing office work at Deep Mission hq, so I took the chance to expand my production skills.

2002	Before I left school, first releases and remixes came out, such as: DJ Slideout, LaCargo, Lengo, Jendrik De Ruvo, Vicious, Wavegenerator; Playlist support: Paul Van Dyk (ultra large!!)

2003	First international booking: Q-Dance NL; More productions, also for external acts and projects: DJ Slideout, LaCargo, Lady Tom, Mirko Milano, J.Ru, After Midnight & Bace; 6 dj gigs total!

2004	New concept to sign performers and host them under sublabel management: Lengo Records; Many new productions for DJ Ornator, Nicci Versaci, J.Ru, Lady Tom, LaCargo; First gigs in Kiel at Rave The Place; "Lady Tom - Into My Mind" ranks sales chart position #1.

2005	DJ Gigs: 2 international exclusives: UK and Austria; I was pleased when the promoter of the Rave The Place events asked me to take a dj residency in Kiel; More released productions: Mirko Milano, Jendrik De Ruvo, Tube Tonic & DJ Shandar and DJ Ornator. 2005 was not as big as 2003 or 2004, also just because I was busy completing my parallel trainee at BMW.

2006	Slideout Music Germany officially registered under VAT registration number DE 242 853283. Main business: The presentation and perfomance of music and art, the usual jobs of an agency including the look-after and general accommodation of booked 3rd-party-artists before and after the event. We had headliners like: Ben Eye, Mike MH-4, ASY*S, Gary D. and Arne LII, Bass-T, Derb, Pulsedriver, DJ Dean, DJ Merlin, Megara vs. DJ Lee & DJ Gollum. Some changes this year, the split up between Mirko and me, a new label deal with Überdruck Records and some new productions: Mike Phobos, Adagio, Cross Over, Turntable Junky and most important: DJ Slideout - Bloody Pimp which marks the peak of my little dj slideout - carreer so far. In summer 2006, close friends of mine started putting on events at a rinsed-out location, which lead to a new dawn for hardtrance and hardstyle sound in the area: Hardbass. On other events, i played various gigs in the UK and Wales such as Atmosphere, Oxford, Ice Complex Salisbury and Evolution Cardiff. By the end of 2006, i decided to run a recordshop for vinyl, which adopted the name of LaCargo. In short time, this became an important brand on the world's Nr 1 music database, discogs.com. Many!!! UK djs found a source for new vinyls.

2007	Hard time without own studio, hope comes with a remix for "Into Deep" by Technoboy. Rave The Place at the peak of its success. With barely few contacts I made during the few gigs I played, we yet got fresh headliners in Kiel such as Kamui/Virus Inc, Real Booty Babes, DJ The Crow aka Überdruck, Tommy Pulse (NL), Dave Joy (CH), Hennes & Cold and Sam Punk. "The slideout - sound" became kind of a new trademark, to be located somewhere between hard dance, acid, hardtrance, hardstyle and ..? unknown? More exclusive gigs followed: Ruff Enuff Denmark, Project Storm UK, Bionic in Cardiff with The Prophet, Surge Soundsytem UK and most important, a 2 week Australia tour including stops in Sydney, Melbourne and Darwin. In the end of the year, a little trip to Slovenia and a massive two - events - NYE in UK!

2008	LaCargo moving to a new HQ, and a lot of work is waiting. Due to the big amount of requests, a new concept emerged. LaCargo Most Wanted was established as kind of a public customer poll. This lead to a new limited edition vinyl series, releasing strong and rare tunes for a short time to a very small amount of customers. The project was expensive, as the final product was DM LTD 008 \| DM LTD 010 \| DM LTD 012 \| DM LTD 014 \| DM LTD 016 \| DM LTD 018 The original pressings of these tunes where out of print, the labels all closed down or out of active business and the artist loved to give their licence against a fair fee, a good deal for all. My own productions got stuck a bit, but in late 2008 the UK label Germantrance.com released my latest tune "LIFE IN X" which was quite a bit different from my usual sound, yet one of the biggest sellers and UK free party hits, dominating #1 the GT.com alltime sales charts. The sound in europe changed a lot by this time, and the entire market did. With the world economic crash in 2008, the entire dance scene split up and moved into several directions such as pure trance (adult trance), dutch hardstyle, so called "nu-style" (and dutch hardcore) leaving less space for freelancers and non adopted artists outside the major music industry.

2009	Busy with the LaCargo recordstore and some gigs at the usual suspect promoters in the UK and germany. The hardbass crew returns for a short while to announce the hosting of a new underground venue northern germany: Hardbass - We Are Back!

2010	Hamburg Rulez by DJ Dean, one of the biggest hits on Tunnel Records now in a brand new DJ Slideout Remix version. I loved the vintage Cocooma / Das Licht / Sound Structure tunes so got inspired when the request came in. Played some debuts in the UK too: Classics set in Oxford, Bristol UK, Bridgwater with Showtek (large!) and a massive NYE set in London (large!)
