The project was formed around 2006–2007 and early on released classic, club-driven EBM material. The debut album “Thema Nummer Eins” arrived on December 5, 2008, and the project continued with album work that moved into a tighter concepts with a more defined production choices In 2015 the album “Anthropozän” followed.

Multiple EPs and singles followed including “Never Enough”, “Herz Lass Los”, “Alles Was Ich Will”, “Nackt”, and “Deine Augen”, plus a Depeche Mode tribute of the track “Master and Servant”.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
