Biography English
Florian Meindl is an Austrian DJ, producer and sound designer. In addition to numerous collaborations with international artists he is busy with writing soundtracks for movies, advertisings, producing remixes (currently for Röyksopp & Hot Chip) and has just successfully completed his BA studies at the London College of Music. He also writes articles about music production in magazines like “FutureMusic” and does music production shows for the “Berlin Mitte Institut”. Till now his productions have been released on labels such as Trapez, Stil vor Talent, Resopal, Herzblut and Kling Klong. The 17th and current release on his own label FLASH Recordings is in production; this serves as a platform for continuous development and promises many unheard sound creations from Meindl’s universe.

If you ask the 24 year old musician about the origin of his exceptional career, he will describe it as an “early identification with electronic music” which occurred in a small village in beautiful Upper Austria. He sees himself as an artist who is passing this message on to a new generation.
The collaboration with Oliver Koletzki, founder and owner of Stil vor Talent, was certainly an important milestone. Both generated trend-setting productions from which some of the current club tunes and hits emerged. Meindl’s Solo E.P. “Sputnik” is his standard release, one of the essentials of a new minimal style, as is “Blast” which has just been remixed by Format:B for the100th release on Trapez. All in all, Meindl has released more than 100 tracks in very different genres during the course of his young musical development.
After prolonged stays in London Meindl, having adopted Berlin as his home, finally made to move to Berlin in 2009. Here he found the stage for further developing his music. From his new home-base he tours the world’s top clubs, because apart from the exceptional variety of his very own musical style both in music production and composition, he is known more than anything else for his precision in creating driving and diversified DJ sets. Closely following the present development, this demanding representative of the next generation of electronic music is presently focussing on the expansion of his international work. However, Meindl still finds the time to present his original and unique sound branding to a curious party crowd which is rapidly developing into a loyal community of fans.
In addition to his continuous touring and label work he also produces a sound design in the form of audio samples under the name “Riemann Kollektion” which has already taken its place in the standards of modern musical development. When one experiences the modest authority of this sound artist in the sometimes slightly morbid and fast moving scenario of today’s club music, one can look forward to the continued development of electronic music. Florian Meindl is certainly one of the most interesting representatives of the next generation of electronic music producers.

Biography German / Biografie Deutsch
Florian Meindl ist DJ, Produzent und Sounddesigner. Neben zahlreichen Produktionskollaborationen mit internationalen Künstlern schreibt er mittlerweile Soundtracks für Filme, Advertisings, realisiert Remixe (aktuell für Röyksopp) und schloss vor kurzem sein Studium an der London School of Music mit dem Bachelor of Arts erfolgreich ab. Seine Releases erschienen bislang unter anderem auf Trapez, Stil vor Talent, Resopal, Herzblut und Kling Klong. Aktuell folgt schon das 17te Release auf seinem eigenen Label Flash Recordings, das als Plattform für eine weiterführende Entwicklung noch viele ungehörte Soundkreationen aus dem Meindl´schen Universum erwarten lässt und auch für angeschlossene Artist zur Verfügung steht.
Fragt man den 24jährigen nach dem Ursprung seiner außergewöhnlichen Karriere, dann bezeichnet er ihn oft als „eine frühe Identifikation mit elektronischer Musik“ – geschehen in einem 3000 Seelen-Dorf im schönen Oberösterreich. Nun ist er einer der Künstler, der diese Message an eine neue Generation weitergibt.
Ein wichtiger Meilenstein war sicherlich die Zusammenarbeit mit dem Stil vor Talent-Founder & Owner Oliver Koletzki, mit dem Florian einige richtungsweisende Produktionen hervorbrachte, von denen einige zu aktuellen Clubtunes und Szenehits avancierten. Als Standardwerk gehört Meindl´s Solo E.P. „Sputnik“ mit zu den Essentials einer neuen minimalen Diktion, ebenso, wie Blast, das so eben für den 100sten Release auf Trapez von Format:B geremixt wurde. Insgesamt veröffentlichte Meindl im Laufe seiner jungen musikalischen Entwicklung schon über 100 Tracks in verschiedensten Genres.
2009 zog es den heutigen Wahlberliner, nach längeren Aufenthalten in London, endgültig nach Berlin, denn hier fand er den bereiteten Boden für seine weitere Entwicklung vor. Von seiner neuen Homebase aus bereist er zunehmend die Top-Clubs der Welt, denn neben der ihm ureigenen außergewöhnlichen musikalischen Vielfalt in der Produktion und Komposition besticht er vor allem auch durch seine Präzision im Aufbau seiner immer wieder treibenden und variationsreichen DJ-Sets. Der bisherigen Entwicklung konzentriert folgend, forciert der anspruchsvolle Vertreter der nächsten Generation der elektronischen Musik gerade den Ausbau seiner internationalen Präsenz, findet aber immer noch Zeit auch in Berlin sein unverwechselbares Soundbranding der neugierigen Partycrowd darzubieten, die sich zusehend zu einer eingeschworenen Fangemeinde entwickelt.
Neben seiner kontinuierlichen Touraktivität und dem eigenen Labelwork produziert der unverbrauchte Musiker aber auch gleichzeitig ein Sounddesign, welches in Form von Audiosamples unter dem Namen „Die Riemann Kollektion“ schon jetzt Einzug in die Standards der aktuellen Musikentwicklung gefunden hat. Erlebt man die zurückhaltende Souveränität des Sound-Artists in der manchmal etwas morbiden und schnelllebigen Szenerie heutiger Clubmusik, darf man sich auf die zukünftige Entwicklung freuen. Florian Meindl ist sicherlich einer der interessantesten Vertreter der nächsten Generation elektronischer Musikproduktion.
