Biografie
Goldwill is your typical record-nerd love-story:
Two complete strangers (Ralf Schmidt and Henry Behring) meet while working in the dark and dusty corridors of a record distribution warehouse.
At first it's only mutual affection: they spend countless hours hidden away behind stacks of twelve inches, discussing music and life, fooling around and generally trying everything to avoid 'work'.
The first tender bonds of friendship are formed.
But soon, they find out that there is more to it: when Henry suddenly needs a place to sleep, Ralf offers Henry to stay with him. And on the very first night, it finally happens:
They make their very first track.
"Motion Team" was instantly signed to 'Musik Gewinnt Freunde' and soon followed by releases on established labels such as Wandering / Mojuba, Liebe*Detail or Pokerflat sublabel Dessous. Together with a friend, they have also very recently started their very own label called 'Aurum Music'
Henry is a true collector at heart, piles and piles of records stacking away in his crib: obscure italian horror soundtracks, rare grooves, sought after house/ techno & beyond stuff...
So, it makes only sense that Henry contributes most of the samples which are at the core of the Goldwill sound.
Since the mid 90's, he has been one of the chosen persistent resident-djs at East-Germany's legendary undergound club GERBEREI (Schwerin).
Until doors have been closed in spring 2013, extended, eclectic, unique DJ & Live sets were just common here.
Ralf is in charge of the machines: producing since his early teens, he knows which buttons to push. Also successfully producing on his own as Aera and running the Aleph Music imprint, he is the one to dial in the synths and sounds for Goldwill.
The Goldwill sound is representing the deeper, more reflective side of dance-music, creating that special late-night atmosphere, with washed-out analog synth sounds, field recordings and dusty samples being vital ingredients. Most of the Goldwill tracks are the results of spontaneous jam-sessions, and as both can draw from years of DJing experience, they always manage to strike that delicate balance between pushing the envelope musically and creatively, but still injecting the right amount of floor-magic.
