About Sven Väth
Sven Väth was born near Frankfurt and grew up around his parents' bar, where he first played records. He reached the charts in the mid-1980s as the singer of the synth-pop group Off, whose "Electrica Salsa" became a European hit, and soon moved behind the decks at Frankfurt's Omen club, which became a centre of the city's techno scene.
In the early 1990s he co-ran the Eye Q and Harthouse labels, which put out much of the trance-leaning German techno of that period, and released solo albums including "Accident in Paradise". In later decades his work has centred on DJing more than production, with long sets that move from deep, rolling techno into house and older records. Among dancers he is widely called "Papa Sven".
