Henrik Schwarz (born 31 May 1972)[2] is a German deep house and classical crossover producer and DJ from Bodensee,[1][3] whose career began in the early 1990s.[2] He has remixed music for numerous musicians, including Coldplay, Mary J. Blige, and Foals.[4] In 2017, he worked with songwriter/producer Jarrah McCleary (Panama).[5]
Since 2002, Schwarz has worked on over 100 musical projects,[6] and in 2006, he mixed the compilation album DJ-Kicks: Henrik Schwarz. In 2007, he released Henrik Schwarz Live, which documented his shift from DJing to being a live laptop performer.[6] Schwarz has partnered with !K7 to launch a new label, Between Buttons. Focusing on acoustic sounds and contemporary classical music, the label's first release was an EP from Schwarz himself, titled Works Piano,[7] followed by an EP titled Aphorisms, by Syrian artists Khaled Kurbeh & Raman Khalaf Ensemble.[8]
