Bill Youngman has been a soldier of the live electronic music scene since 1994. In the mid 90's after numerous years of musical training and drumming/guitar work, Youngman found his passion for drum computers and analog machines.His first output on Serotonin records in 1996 displayed his rendition of electronica. "Electrostep" is what he called it. All tempos were allowed and all sounds were hand made. A very melodic and beat conscious individual. While on the search for the perfect beat, Youngman moved to Berlin from New York in 2001 to further his outlook on the experimental techno scene and open up collaboration possiblities. On the way he's worked with and been inspired by musicians such as Jamie Lidell, Neil Landstrumm, Cristian Vogel, and Tobias Schmidt.He has composed numerous releases for various labels including DC Recordings, Null, Tresor, Serotonin, Scandinavia and all of his compositions are a result of being inspired by the times.For this artist, recorded material is the platform for expressing mutiple styles and new ideas. This carries over in the live situation as Youngman takes full control. Mashing up user-friendly classical techno feels, mental beat slicing, and keeping the floor shaking while combining a new-school, freestyle approach to electronics, is but the only way one can in words describe the Bill Youngman live experience.
