Life and music

[edit]

His parents gave Stefan Obermaier his first electronic keyboard when he was just five years old. In the early 1990s, he already played in various funk and jazz projects. In 1997 and 1998, he won the Austrian Band Contest with his school band for his original compositions. Inspired by the "Vienna Sound" in the mid 1990s, Stefan made it at the age of 17 to the forefront of performing electronic musicians in the Salzburg area. During a time before the convenience of laptops he was one of the very few hauling around their computers and installing them in venues for gigs.

After finishing school, Obermaier moved to Vienna in 2001 to study music science, but left the University after four semesters upon signing his first record contract with Universal Music in order to focus on his music. The first original recordings under his own name got released through the Viennese music label "Vienna Scientists". He worked further on remixes for a.o. M, Mark Murphy, Supermax, Armada Music, !K7, Compost Records, Music For Dreams and many more.

At the same time, Obermaier started a series of reinterpretations from classical music repertoire. In 2008 Obermaier revealed his "Classic Reloaded" project, where he developed the fusion of his own electronica with the prestigious works of great classical composers, thereby creating a new musical concept starting with "Beethoven Reloaded" (2008) followed by "Mozart Reloaded" (2012).[1][2][3] Obermaier received three golden and one platinum award for his "Classic Reloaded" project.

In 2012 Stefan Obermaier and his former partner Zwetelina Angelova founded their own label imprint "Drift Recordings", inaugurated by its first release, the "Bagana EP" [4] and the single "Traveler", which reached the Top 10 of Germany's (DCC) and UK's (Cool Cuts) leading club charts.[5]
