Sven Väth '4 Decades Behind the Decks: A Journey of Music, Magic, and Euphoria'
Sven Väth continues to celebrate techno with contagious enthusiasm. Few can party as passionately as he and his crowd—they've been doing it for over four decades! He made musical history with the OMEN club in Frankfurt am Main, and his Cocoon events in Ibiza have become legendary. To mark his 40th DJ anniversary, Sven Väth and his Cocoon Family have given themselves a special gift: the photo book Sven Väth ‘4 Decades Behind the Decks: A Journey of Music, Magic, and Euphoria’ presented in a vinyl-sized format, offers a wealth of imagery and stories from the career of this DJ, entrepreneur, club operator, event organizer, producer, and artist. The book captures Sven Väth’s journey through the voices of his companions, business partners, friends, and family.

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF COCOON EVENTS
At the absolute peak of Cocoon’s Ibiza success, it was arguably the best techno party in the Balearics, if not the world. Some might say this wasn’t even up for debate and that was down to the singular vision of Sven and his team, who put personality and visual creativity at the forefront of everything they put into place. The best techno DJs on the planet, including Richie Hawtin, Adam Beyer, Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano, Carl Craig, Nina Kraviz and Loco Dice? Check. The best musical identity and dancers on the island? Check. And Amnesia parties and after-parties that came to define the electronic era and influence a whole new generation of party people across the planet? Check and indeed checkmate. And now – having first taken over Amnesia back in 1999 - Cocoon are 25 and looking back on their role as a world-changing force in electronic music.
