Stephan Bodzin soon started getting into music, mostly influenced by his father, an artist and musician himself, whose studio contained all the magic sound-machines like ARP2600, Memorymoog, Polysix and many others. No wonder Stephan was heavily fascinated by the idea of electronic music as a little kid and soon founded his own projects as a piano and bass-player. After finding out that none of his band-mates (including himself) were able to play as tight as the legendary Korg M1 sequencer, Stephan more and more came to the point where he preferred to substitute all real musicians with virtual musicians in his studio. At the tender age of 17 he bought his first Atari computer and the story began.
After moving to the big city of Bremen, where Stephan steadily continued improving & building up his studio set-up, he got in touch with the experimental theatre scene and began to find his own platform to express his artistic and musical visions in compositions for several plays (including works for the established Goethe Theatre in Bremen and the infamous Ikarus Dancing-Theatre from Austria).
But Bodzin never lost his love for pure analogue & electronic music. He put together his first club tracks, which directly got road-tested by his brother Oliver, who was a house DJ back then. Around that time he got to know Humate member Oliver Huntemann and a long term friendship and work relationship took off.
In the following 10 years, he produced various projects like Kaycee, Taiko, H-Man or Oliver Huntemann and did countless remixes for artists like Binary Finary, Frankie Goes To Hollywood or Sinead OConnor. Furthermore Stephan created the two internationally successful solo projects Condor and Boca.
In December 2004, his friend and global techno player Thomas Schumacher asked him to produce Elektrochemie, Schumachers project with his girlfriend Caitlin Devlin, and his own Schumacher tracks. The outcome of those collabos, released on the labels Get Phyical and Spiel-Zeug Schallplatten, struck the worldwide club-scene like a bomb, nonetheless because of Stephans special skills, which can also be heard in the two albums of both projects, which will be released in 2006.
In 2005 Mr. Bodzin, started concentrating on his own career. The Solo-Single Caligula / Marathon Man, which came out on Systematic in December 2005 was his first step into the spotlight and created global interest in the artist Stephan Bodzin. Another big thing was his production work with Mr. Systematic Marc Romboy, which resulted in their Luna EP on Systematic and the tracks House Ya and Jigsaw, for Romboys debut LP Gemini.
The List of labels, which released Bodzin productions in 2005 & 2006 reads like the who is who in the innovative club music scene: Get Physical, Datapunk, International Deejay Gigolo, Systematic, Giant Wheel, Spiel-Zeug Schallplatten, Confused, Dance Electric and Great Stuff. At the moment Mr. Bodzin is busy founding his own label-platform with the helping hand of label-god Jan Langer and hes preparing a second career as a DJ and Live Act!
There is no stopping and the journey has just begun!.. and keep on watching the small printed credits on the records, it could be Stephan Bodzin!

Stephan Bodzin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and stay down
Hold your ground
It's worth the fight
The lyrics "So get down and stay down, hold your ground, it's worth the fight" can be interpreted as a call to perseverance and determination in the face of adversity. The phrase "get down" can be interpreted as getting to work, diving in, and taking action to achieve goals, while "stay down" suggests the importance of staying focused and committed, even when facing setbacks or challenges. "Hold your ground" represents the idea of standing firm in one's beliefs and values, even in difficult or uncomfortable situations. Finally, "it's worth the fight" emphasizes the importance of persistence and determination, and suggests that the potential rewards outweigh the struggles and obstacles one may encounter on the path to success.
In terms of the musical composition, the deep and pulsating beat of the electronic music reinforces the urgency and determination of the lyrics. The repetitive nature of the beat and melody creates a sense of continuity and stability, which further reinforces the idea of holding one's ground and staying committed to one's goals.

So get down
Let's start dancing and having fun.
To the sound of Stephan Bodzin and Marc Romboy
Let's dance to the music produced by Stephan Bodzin and Marc Romboy.
Let the rhythm carry you
Allow the beat of the music to guide your movements.
Away on a voyage, under the stars so bright
Let's imagine we're on a journey under a starry night sky.
A purple night, with long hours
It's a night filled with twilight, with the night sky tinged with a purplish hue, and it seems to last forever.
Of fantasy and real powers
We're allowing our imaginations to run wild while moving our bodies to the rhythm of the music.
Listen here
Pay attention to what's happening.
To what the heart commands
Follow your instincts and do what feels right.
There is no need to fear
There's nothing to be afraid of.
When we dance hand in hand
When we dance together, hand in hand, we create a sense of unity and togetherness.
So let's keep it going
Let's continue dancing and having fun.
All through the night
We'll keep dancing and enjoying ourselves until the morning light.
Till the sun is glowing
We'll dance until the sun comes up and the light illuminates the night sky.
With music still in sight
Even after the music stops, we'll still feel its presence and the memories of the night will remain with us.

I had a dark 6 months in my life... and this track weirdly helped me get through it. I don't know why, I don't care. But, when I was down, it lifted me over and over again.
