AN Artist Talks with Dr Motte, 11.08.2011, Kunsthaus Tacheles, Berlin.

Dr Motte kindly accepted my invitation to my modest talk although he is very busy, and I am very grateful.

Of course many articles have been written about the Artist Dj Dr Motte, Matthias Roeingh, who created the Love Pararde in 1989. He has an international career and reaches out to the people , he is politically involved in the society and takes part regurlarly in demonstrations, for causes he finds just.

But Matthias is also a man of sprituality and has a master he follows. He meditates every day and uses this personal development, as an engine, to keep all the clarity needed to enterprise different projects such as Praxxis, his label and electrocult, a recently founded non-profit organization devoted to electronic culture, and also music production and still finds time and energy for live sets all over the world.

He is very open and kind, and likes to encourage young artists. Today his preference goes to producing music in collaborations with other Djs. He likes the energy and dynamic it generates. Meeting and discovering are also an important part of his life.

His relationship to the Kunsthaus Tacheles is a very special one. He came at the very start and was djing downstairs in the seller, where one of the first Tacheles' clubs was founded. Things have changed of course, here in The Tacheles, but Dr Motte has remained faithful to the free artspace and has regularly organized parties in the Golden Theater Hall. On the 3rd of September, he will play in the "WE SUPPORT TACHELES "party with the ELECTROCULT non-profit organization. He feels it is vital to save the Berlin culture and the Kunsthaus Tacheles is definitely a part of it, and must be preserved.

My experience meeting him was warm and encouraging. He tried to explain to me how great the process of printing vinyls is. And he is really fascinated by this type of technology. He reads alot and remembers to share his knowledge with his close surroundings and shows us some books . He seems to like to teach and gives advice very openly, he told me how, for instance, I should try to meditate and free my mind. For him his spirituality and faith are based on controlling the mind and letting it grow. The process engages you into letting go of unnecessary beliefs, that way on you, and go for happiness.

He carries a strong positive energy and has a good sens a humour, "I like to be naughty and my girl friend too" he says imitating the Indian accent in English and makes me and the public laugh. He is a  comedian and an entertainer,  he can go on talking without interruption and talk about  any subject you could think of. He sometimes jumps away from a question, because his mind has led him somewhere further than you thought,  and comes back with your answer, after taking you along another path. He is full of suprises!

Please come to the party (03.09.2011) and support Tacheles and try to go to  Electrocult events, you may get lucky and get a chance to meet and talk with him. Don't be afraid he is really tip top cool :-)
