MMM aka Matthias Heinstein
Matthias Heinstein aka MMM from Heidelberg,Germany (close to Frankfurta a.M.) has been strongly connected to the healthy electronic music scene since the early 90's. In London he first experienced electronic music in 89' during the so called 'Summer of Love' when acid house hit the clubs. Impressed by the energy and the vibe of this experience he soon decided to produce his own tracks. He created that unique sound with live instruments like guitar and bass and soon purchased one of the Akai S1100 sampler, a JD800 Synth and Atari computer running Cubase. Due to his large network he could easily establish this music in the local scene, driven by live acts in clubs like the 'Milk' in Mannheim oder the famous 'Dorian Grey' and 'XS' in Frankfurt. Furthermore, MMM produced Breakbeat orientated music with strong Techno influences under the name of bassline-generation leveraging the skills of his brothers Emanuel and Alex and his sister Yana. First productions have been released and distributed under lables like 'Siren', 'Exodus' or 'Pornobass'. Some of his tracks like Acetate Drums, Crusher, Exodus or Kool Skool, hit clubs and raves worlwide and found their way into sets of DJs like Mickey Finn, Randall, DJ SS and other international artists of the D'n'B scene of that time. Since 1992, MMM released about a 100 national and international tracks, running projects like DJ Redoo, Skeleton Rock, Bassline-Generation, MMM, Bassdriver Unit and many more. Labels like Smokin Drum (UCMG), Formation (UK), Mask (Efa), Downbeat (Warner), Mole (UCMG), Siren (UCMG-UK), Compost, Exodus, MCC-Rec. or Pornobass got strong influence on the Drum'n'Bass scene. With popular remixes for Mickey Finn and KRS ONE, Jam & Spoon, NAS, Rammstein, The Big Punisher, Missy Elliot, Asher D or Earl 16 from Dreadzone, MMM established himself as well-known producer and DJ. With House & Techno tracks like 'Enter the club' which had been played by DJs like Hernan Cattaneo or Steve Lawler he successfully entered the house music scene. Since 2005 MMM is running his digital music distribution lifetime-records.com with his sister Yana and distributes on portals like iTunes, Beatport or djdownload.com. With his music constantly evolving over the years, combining influences from Minimal-Techno and House as well as Breakbeat or Latin Jazz he helped developing an independant scene in Heidelberg, running own club projects like "Unter_Uns" in Heidelberg. MMM is also a busy mastering engineer for successful Vinyl labels like Cecile and 8bit from Mannheim/Frankfurt. Current projects: repeat (mannheim), bass station (heidelberg), pepper.club (heidelberg), jungle fever (heidelberg) Booking here
