Sven Vath is one of the worlds most talented dj's to ever come out of Germany. His qualities not only as a prominent DJ but also a business man has made him long standing in the realm of Disco invasion. Barely a week goes without some hilarious footage of Sven Vath finding its way onto our YouTube, and, if you type the phrase 'papa Sven' into the site's search engine it returns a parody of madness that only one can laugh along with not at him. A true man of energy and a heart that goes with it to beat the boot. Surely these aren't all about Vath and his (after) party antics? For those who don't have the time or patience to sit through endless clips, this week, We'll bring in the Freakshow to your eyes. Enjoy

Sven Vath is truly the last of the rock n roll DJ's, and we love him all the more for it. He has been called "the only German pop-star" by the press (David Hasslehoff step aside) and is an absolute legend, both for his mind blowing DJ sets and his unique productions.

He began his DJing career at the seminal Dorian Gray and Vogue clubs in Germany when he was just a teenager, where even during his early sets he was moving away from the mainstream and embracing the underground. At the end of the 80's Sven Vath bought the Vogue club and transformed it into the venerable Omen - where he pushed his unique, constantly evolving sound for a decade, turning the Omen into the hub of underground music not just for Germany but for the whole of Europe.

Founder of Harthouse Records, the now defunct Eye Q and currently Cocoon Recordings, Sven Vath has also produced some of the most influential electronic records of the last twenty years - from the driving techno of Fusion to the sublime abstract electronica of 'The Harlequin: the Robot and the Ballet Dancer'.

His Cocoon club night - which represents "metamorphosis, development, new birth and surprises", began in Germany in 1998 but has now grown to be an international clubbing brand, with regular appearances at select venues around the world, including The End as its London home. He has somehow managed to combine being an underground party warlord with a national hero - and was even personally invited to come back to his home town of Obertshausen to set up a yearly outdoor festival at a location of his choosing!

Sven Vath's reputation for being a hedonist is not unfounded, and although he has calmed down (a bit) - today's squeaky clean early-to-bed-early-to-rise DJ's could learn a lot from the techno-lord: ripping off his shirt, diving into the crowd or plugging his headphones into the microphone for a bit of 'ad-libbing' over tracks are not unusual. Gude Laune!

The Green & Blue pool party special returns!

... the wind whispers in the trees, the grass green and whipers on the sunbathing lawn sap green and people are dancing happily around you. No returns to the womb of infantile wanderings no a blissful explantopia. After a refreshing splash in one of the deep blue pools, you are lingering around to one of the food stands and allow yourself a beer alongside your tasty thai curry. Never mind the Bratwursts there everywhere filled with tomato ketsup. Later in the evening, you enjoy the breathtaking visuals around you and have a little flirt with a raving bikini beauty...

Is this paradise?

Not exactly, but you can experience this at least for one Sunday in every year: Cocoon's Green & Blue Open Air at the Waldschwimmbad Obertshausen near Frankfurt Main / Germany the home of the Meister Mr Vath. Offers probably the best in contemporary electronic music - with names like Sven Väth, Richie Hawtin, Mathew Jonson, Ricardo Villalobos, Josh Wink, Alter Ego or Guy Gerber - combined with an absolutely unique venue, laser visuals and fireworks. As the Germans love to blow things up in a great slender of neo-nightime fuzzness of sky himmel werks stats.
