On the history of Analogue Freestyle Analogue Freestyle was founded in Berlin in 1994 by DJ Rogall (aka Phantom 309). Essentially, vinyl records were remixed live, with musicians and the DJ jammed together. There was an ever-evolving cast with no fixed sets. No studio recordings or releases had been done either. Analogue Freestyle did influence many artists in Berlin of the 90s. Stylistically there were no direct restrictions. Analogue Freestyle's sound was composed of various then upcoming streams in electronic music and interpreted everything with their own, versatile sound - representing a wide range, from radically experimental performances (Volksbühne/Milles Plateaux/Podewil Festival) to pure dance events, even a gig with Massive Attack. Analogue Freestyle also played at raves, e.g. during the Love Parade in 1996 at E-werk and was the first real live Drum'n'Bass act in 1995, with 2 drummers, keyboards, bass and MC - alongside DJ Rogall - using no sequencer, live and direct. (The Berlin TIP magazine also reported on this). Analogue Freestyle’s musical influences were originally based on eclectic Sampledelia. Some Roots could be found in Musique Concrète's production techniques of sound manipulation and transformation of the 60s, as well as in the very early turntablism in dance music,Jamaican dub music, and more recent movements such as dub-house, electro, breakbeat, jungle, beatdown and countless other genres. Only in 2022, which is 28 years after the first gig (!), Analogue Freestyle released their first tune.
