Roland Leesker

Roland Leesker lives for and has loved electronic music since 1989 – the year of his debut as a House DJ on the Frankfurt bar scene. Two years later he became the resident DJ in clubs like Wild Pitch, XS and Dorian Gray playing and smiling from Thursday night till Sunday dawn. By day he was working in a local vinyl shop, Derlirium Records, serving up tastemakers like Sven Väth, Laurent Garnier and John Aquaviva, to name but a few. 1995 Roland left Frankfurt for New York City, where he founded the first international branch of Delirium Records. Before and thereafter he ended up playing with and producing artists that are legends today. Slaving away with Ricardo Villalobos in his living room, creating ER + ER, playing in some loops with John Selway at New York ́s Satellite basement, working as one of the light jockeys in FFM, spinning together with Cajmere and DJ Sneak at the Wild Pitch Club…. all the while running various music businesses around the globe. Since then, he’s invested much of his heart and soul into Electronic Music to further the scene and support the art he loves. A few days ago Roland returned to the studio and the wheels of steel with his production partner Philipp Maier also known as Santé to produce records such as “My Warehouse”, which is a bass laden House killer with intense kicks and a gritty in-your- face bass line. The recording features remixes from friends he met on his lifetime jouney: M.A.N.D.Y., LD Nero, DJ T., Cardopusher and Chris Liebing : they all lend their personal touch to “My Warehouse“. Roland also made a remix of one of the most famous tracks from DJ Pierre: What is House Muzik? “For me great house music is a way to reconnect with our soul. That’s the vibe I always seek to create when I’m playing out or producing.“ ... Roland Leesker says. inner soul music
