Speedy J

Speedy J Jochem Paap | Speedy J For all these achievements, the here and now of Paap’s life in music is just as interesting.

Jochem Paap’s first record as Speedy J landed on Plus 8 back in 1990, and yet he still engages with electronic music with the curiosity and productivity you’d expect of someone new to the game. His long and winding career has plenty of storied touchstones – seminal electronica LPs on Warp Records’ Artificial Intelligence series and Planet Mu, ambient epics on FAX +49-69/450464 Records, and a relen

tless wave of razor-sharp club 12”s across most of the iconic techno labels you’d care to think of. Via his Electric Deluxe label he champions some of the most daring techno variations in current circulation – artists such as AnD, Clouds and JK Flesh have trusted Paap with their most ambitious album projects. In the live arena, Paap has long been a champion of hybridization – a philosophy embedded in the DNA of techno as progressive, experimental music. By embracing the open-ended possibilities of music technology, the lines between live performance and DJing have eroded for Paap as he glides between standalone tracks and hardware improvisation. This approach also defines his on-stage collaborations – the Collabs project with Chris Liebing, Zeitgeber with Lucy and Multiples with Surgeon. In all situations Paap and his kindred spirits employ their keen instinct for experimental techno and all-encompassing technical knowledge to deliver visceral experiences. His Electric Deluxe Presents events also serve as an extension to his own artistic vision and that of his label roster, gathering together high profile line-ups everywhere from Sonar to Berghain, Detroit to NYC, and of course all over the Netherlands. Meanwhile, STOOR is a bold new venture that encompasses a Rotterdam-based studio and label, where Paap opens the doors to established artists and newcomers alike to immerse themselves in a high-spec environment for all manner of creative outcomes. Among the results from the sessions that take place are collaborative releases cut onto limited run vinyl on an in-house lathe. It’s a novel approach to creating and releasing music that celebrates the immediate moment – a present that Paap has consistently engaged with to take himself constantly forwards into intriguing new worlds of sound.

Ouffff! STOOR Live, what a journey! Two days of pure improv with an amazing crew of hardware heads. I can’t thank everyone enough for jumping in the void with me, it was a huge privilege and pleasure to jam out with you all. Special thanks to Karl and his visuals and light crew, it was exceptional! Special shoutout to all of the people who rocked the Pink Noise room. Also big thanks to Paradiso and crew for the top notch production and hospitality as always! See you all in April!

STOOR Live day one was insane in the best possible way! Thank you FJAAK, KiNK, Nene H and everyone else who joined the madness! ♥️

Day two with Kangding Ray, Mathew Jonson, RØDHÅD, Steffi and Speedy J is kicking off right now! 🔥

My first EPs as Speedy J are back on vinyl. Intercontinental EP and Rise EP were originally released on +8 in 1991. Special shoutout to John Acquaviva and Richie Hawtin for welcoming me to the family when the label was in it’s infancy. In hindsight these two records portray the early 90’s as a time in which every release could spawn a debate or accidentally even predict an entire new genre. At the same time no one had a clue about what they were doing, including me. There’s a limited red vinyl run, available on my Bandcamp now.

01/10/2024

My Speedy J YouTube channel is steadily coming to life. In the past weeks I have posted (mostly marathon) sets from Berghain, De School, Awakenings and more. There is a lot more unseen and unreleased stuff in the vaults from as early as the 90’s that will slowly be released. Don’t miss out and hit the bells and whistles! Here’s a snippet from the latest upload, a set at DGTL in 2018.

Still enjoying the afterglow of R² Festival! This 6 hour improvised hardware set was FIRE straight from the start. Colin Benders, Dasha Rush, Neel, [KRTM] and the STOOR crew thanks again for joining me for this awesome session. Big shoutout to Reinier and Free Your Mind for making this possible. Looking forward to the next one!

Press start and dive into the unknown. No plan, just a dedicated group of amazingly talented people connecting to create a sonic and visual trip on the spot. Thank you to everyone else who joined to take on the challenge to create a STOOR Live edition outside its place of birth Paradiso. Thank you Reinier and FYM for your support. Here are some of our favorite R² Festival moments!
