Artist History
DJ Wimpy aka Revolver Jesus
Born in 1968 Wimpy discovered his love for music very early. Yet who
could have known then that one day he would be such a gifted
discjockey?!
Orginally coming from a Indie-New Wave-EBM background he has always been
fascinated by danceable grooves. In 1989 he made a trip to New York and
was infected by the so-called Housemusic («"Voodoo Ray" by A Guy Called
Gerald electriefied me»). Wimpy did not stop dancing for three weeks and
realized that this was the music he would use to make others dance, too.
He had not planned to become a DJ but after this experience he bought
all the grooving vinyl he could get.
It was 1992 when Wimpy went public during the opening of the legendary
Subversiv club in Berlin. Before that he had practiced on several
private parties and chill outs. The good thing about the Subversiv was
that people did not think in fixed categories. It was possible to play
the gayest House and the dryest Techno back and forth during the same
night. Here Wimpy got his two-dimensional "4 2 the floor".
Soon he had other Gigs in different venues, the Drama-Bar, the
Gay-Tea-Dance and soon in the Tresor where Wimpy could be heared as a
resident-DJ since spring 1993. Clubs opened and closed. House and Techno
were declared dead and still survived. In Berlin Wimpy had more gigs in
the IT, Suicide, Matrix and performed on many parties. In Germany he had
periodical dates in Stuttgart (Perkins Park, Red Dog, M1) and Hamburg
(Kontor, Rote Flora) and more gigs in Leipzig, Rostock, Cologne,
Würzburg, etc. Internationally so far he made it to Holland, Finland,
Switzerland, Spain and Russia.
Since 1993 Wimpy has been a resident in the Electric Ballroom / SO36. He
has more or less accomplished all he had expected as a DJ. With his mix
of hip-shaking groovy beats and his linear sounds he has found his own
style and delights the club visitors. After all he sees himself as a
Club-DJ.
The Future asks for new measures! That is why Wimpy has started to set
up his own studio to realize his musical ideas of electronic music. Not
just for himself but in cooperation with dearly friends and collegues.
His productions will be releases under the names "Revolver Jesus" and
"Christian Woitek" .
