Events in Bangalore - Deep + Tech Friday Night Sessions Feat. DJ Raimund Imo on 12 July 2013 at The Tao Terraces, 1 MG Mall, Bengaluru. 8.pm

Goa based DJ Raimund Imo, was born and raised in Mannheim, South Germany. His love for music began early on, with classical music playing a big part of his life. This emerged into the 1990’s break beat culture, which heavily inspired and influenced Raimund’s future in electronic music.

Between 1984 and 1996 Raimund spent countless nights at underground clubs and parties in Mannheim, Heidelberg, Berlin, Frankfurt and London, listening to sounds from the forefront of the techno scene around the world. Raimund’s love affair with electronic music was born.

In time Raimund’s passion grew and from this emerged a desire to take things to the next level. So began his journey as a DJ. In 2000, Raimund was in Goa, India. In, the midst of the Goa-Trance scene, he started to play ‘alternative’ techno and tech-house/house music and arranged private parties, as an antidote to the homogenous trance culture. Soon he teamed up with a couple of German DJ’s and started a group called the “Bass Bunny.”

The influence of Raimund and Bass Bunny was pivotal in the development and growth of the techno/house scene in Goa and as well as hosting parties, the team were able to bring many of their international, big-name DJ friends to play. In turn, this led to the opening of many more clubs and a diversification of the tourist industry. The trio went on to organise and perform gigs all over Goa, and began to play gigs in larger Indian cities, as they grew in name and popularity.

After a few years with “Bass Bunny”, Raimund felt the time for change and “Electric Zoo” was born. He has not looked back since. As a co-founder and DJ for “Electric Zoo”, he and the group have enjoyed tremendous success, gaining a solid fan base in many parts of India & Asia. Over the years they have organised and played at many highly successful parties, including ‘Escape of the Apes’.

Raimund Imo has played in Russia, Germany, Spain, Australia, UK, Indonesia, France and India and has also supported and gained respect from many of Europe’s live acts and DJs. These include the likes of Mathew Jonson, Wolf & Lamb, Loose Change, Anton Kubikov, Bjoern Wilke, Mike Shannon, dOP, D-Sens, Grobi Berger & Romain Favre (Moog Conspirancy), Kate Moss, Vera, Chloe, A Guy Called Gerald, Mole and Dorian Paic. He is currently collaborating on and producing new tracks, due for release next year.
