| "To feel and live
Music" that's the slogan of Andreas Litterscheid, most
better admits alias "CJ STONE".
Already as a young teenager (more exactly. with little twelve
years) he smoothed the way to the large (and at that time
still far) music-business. Already at this time pupils were
hard up and the money for records was always limited - and
so he possessed the most titles only on cassettes, which he
mixed with 2 recorders and a mixer to one track and exposed
to sound thereby the parties of his friends and acquaintance.
After a short time everybody of his friends called him "CJ"
(Cassette - Jockey), which became at the beginning of the
90's a component of his artist name. As the native Cologner
began his DJ-career in Clubs, such as Neuschwanstein or Westside
(today better known as Tarm Center West) in Cologne, a artist
name was missing and so he decided to call himself "CJ
STONE". His abilities behind the Turntables did inspire
the Clubber, and also drew the attention of his DJ - colleagues.
And so CABA KROLL from BASS BUMPERS paid attention of CJ STONES
talent and booked him for DJ Gigs in Tarm Center/Bochum. The
Tarm center became since then CJ STONEs new Homebase for the
next four years.
Beside his activity as DJ, CJ's interest applied also more
and more for producing, subsequently he collected sufficient
ideas and experiences while he presenting, how a good Dance
Track has to sound. CABA KROLL further helped him and made
the BASS BUMPERS studio available. Always present. The other
head of BASS BUMPERS. HENNING REITH. (HENNING, beside DJ SAMMY,
was responsible for the first hits of the Popband LOONA).
The fame wasn't a long time in coming. With the help of
the team KROLL/REITH he tackled the producing. Hit Singles
followed, like N-TRANCE "Forever" (which was co-produced
by CJ and was found at place 7 in the English sales charts),
MISS PEPPERMINTs "Let Me Hear The DJ" / "Welcome
to Tomorrow" (both Top 10 in the Dance Charts), or CABA
KROLLs "Pleasure E.P." & "In Your Face".
Even all Singles of the Residents-DJ of Kontor Records, MARKUS
GARDEWEG ("I Can't Take It", "This Groove"
and "Push", among others) wouldn't have followed
without CJs talent.
After so many work for third it was at the time to think
about his own career - it was high time for the first CJ STONE
single. CJ STONE wanted to express his own style to his productions
- a style that competent form a contrast to all other tracks.
He began to link material instruments with electronic Beats
and refined that whole ones with rolling bass runs and salient
Synthie Lines.
That was quick till his singles "Infinity/Shining star/Into
The Sea", and others were in the box - a small milestone
in the history of Dance Music. "Infinity" shot without
detours on the foremost places of the European Dance and sales
Charts. As well as in Europe this track almost attracted attention
in the far America.
STONES work was finally recompensed. Bookings followed all
over the world and multiplied CJs name rating fast. Orders
for remixes increased. Artists such as ULTRABEAT, (their title
"Pretty Green Eyes" was placed for 3 months in the
Top 40 (highest position # 2) of the English sales charts
and they sold more than 200,000 Singles); SNAP with their
Top 10 success in Germany "Rhythm is A dancer 2003";
CULTURE BEAT with the title "Mr. Vain Recall", which
catapulted itself directly into the Top 10 of the German Sales
chart; the Belgian success project SYLVER, who likewise placed
into the Top 10 of the German sales charts with their title
"Turn the tide"; TIESTO, QUICKSILVER, BROOKLYN BOUNCE,
DEVINE INSPIRATION, ACE OF BASE, IAN VAN DAHL are here only
some of many artists who remixed their titles by CJ STONE!
Besides this, CJ STONE brought his side projects such as
BAD HABIT BOYS "Weekend" & "Rock Ya"
into the top 10 of the most important charts and produced
hit singles, such as VOODOO & SERANOS "Blood Is Pumpin"
(#17 UK), or DJ SAMMYS "You're My Angel/Golden Child/Life
Is Just A Game" and others.
Not to mention that the track "Cold Blood", which
CJ produced for VOODOO & SERANO was used for the cult
movie Blade II .
Besides these productions, remixes and the work as a DJ,
we find the new single of CJ STONE "Don’t Look
Back" in the top 10 of the UK Dance Charts. If we believe
the prognoses of his record company this track is on his way
to be a success, as well...
