Report

The years before 1982
Adolescence transforms “little Sven” into an entertainer, whose experiences, adventures and impressions dominate the next years.
2002
After the Fire World Tour and after the end of Cocoon’s 2002 Summer Season in Ibiza, where the Cocoon Club hosted its fourth residency at Amnesia, Sven is looking back to this event series. On “The Sound of the Third Season”, he once more pursues different paths: together with co-resident Richie Hawtin, he managed not only to bring the music on CD, but also the unique atmosphere at the Cocoon parties by including radioplaylike cuts from the people talking in the club. In late summer, Sven produces his first 12″ for his own label Cocoon Recordings: “Vision” is not only an hommage to the Festival of Electronic Music in the Swiss mountains but also a successful club hit. Besides his bookings all over the world, Sven works on the production of the Remix album “Fire Works”, which includes remixes of the “Fire” tracks, made by well known colleagues. “Fire Works” is released in March 2003 and takes Sven once more to an extended World Tour.
2003
The “Fire Works” Tour is highly successful and wherever Sven plays, he leaves behind a happy and enthusiastic audience, may it be in Europe, Asia or America. Besides his numerous bookings in this time, Sven is mainly busy with the conception of the Fourth Season of the Cocoon Club in Ibiza. However, another event casts its shadows: the Green&Blue Open Air at the Waldschwimmbad Atlantis in Obertshausen near Frankfurt. The Ibiza Season turns out to be the most successful Cocoon event series on the island so far and the last party ‘The Final’ on September, 15th of 2003 literally ends it with a Bang! The Green&Blue Party is the last Open Air event of the year in Germany and represents something very special for Sven: for the first time in his career, he plays in his hometown Obertshausen. The idea for this rather unique event originally came from the local authorities and Sven and his company Cocoon were prepared to listen. Not only was the Waldschwimmbad Atlantis the perfect place for the Green&Blue, it also provided the name for the party: the vast lawn and the old trees created a perfect contrast to the blue water of the basins. For Sven, it was both a comeback to the place where he learned to swim as well as a reunion with many friends from back then. In October 2003, the Mix CD “The Sound of the Fourth Season” is released on Cocoon Recordings as a double CD and hit the German Compilation charts on No. 15.
2004
Besides the next Ibiza Season and the second edition of the Green&Blue festival, another highlight is approaching: six years after the Omen closed, Sven Väth is opening a new club in Frankfurt: the Cocoon Club. This project is undoubtedly the biggest in Sven’s life so far and will set new standards for clubbing worldwide.
