Bio
Tripmastaz approaches house music with the impatience of a beatmaker and the patience of a record collector. The Russian-born, Berlin-based producer Andrei has spent more than two decades moving between house, minimal and techno, while digging for old records and developing an ear for analogue mixing. His most vivid partnership is RareTwo Inc with DJ Sneak. During an Ibiza stretch, the pair worked in the same room and made more than thirty tracks in a few weeks, burning rough versions to CD so DJs such as Ricardo Villalobos could test them immediately. Years later, Tripmastaz revisited those laptop sessions, gave them fresh analogue mixes and issued part of the archive through his Respect The Craft imprint. The label’s name also describes his wider practice: production, DJing and a dedicated mixing/mastering studio are treated as connected skills.
