German producer André Hommen presents a fresh blend of techno and house, combining deep and tech styles with a direct, minimalist sound.
Hommen was born in Nettetal in western Germany; he later set up shop in Köln. As a teenager, uninterested in the music his peers were listening to, he discovered and fell in love with house music on the radio and learned to DJ, playing out at local underground parties. Hommen got his start at Dennis Ferrer's New York-based Objektivity label, where in the late 2000s he landed a job in an administrative and creative role, helping to develop projects by the likes of Henrik Schwarz, the Martinez Brothers, and Loco Dice. The label also put out his early releases, such as 2015's "The Bottom Line" -- his debut solo EP -- and "Battery Park," a celebrated Ibiza anthem of that year. He also released music on Poker Flat (2015's "Introspectral") and Systematic (2016's "Serve"). In 2017, with the wealth of experience he had gained from working at Objektivity, he set up his own label, These Eyes. With a distinctive sonic and visual identity, the label put out EPs by Hommen -- 2017's eponymous "These Eyes" and 2018's "Metropoli" -- as well as releases by Marc Romboy, Clavis, and Asobitai. Hommen released his first (and, as he claimed, his last) album, More Than This, on These Eyes in 2020. ~ John D. Buchanan
