Electronic moderator: since Feb 13th 2006 Pop moderator: since May 3rd 2007 Techno/Trance from the 90´s is my favourite music. I also like happy breakbeats, hardcore from the 90´s or trancy house/housey trance, the 80's music and very much Italo Disco, too. I began to hear electronic music 1990, the sound between 1992-1996 is my favourite stuff. Belgian and German tunes from that time period had a huge influence on me and my taste. (Trax form Labels like BOY Records, Abfahrt, Suck Me Plasma, Dance Opera, Bonzai,Oscillator, DIKI and ZYX) I´m a big fan of Torsten Fenslau and DJ Dag and tried to get most of their played songs i like. I love their mixes as their productions, which both began 1988/89. Please don´t ask about mp3. Thx. My Favourites: DJ Dag and Torsten Fenslau

Houdini - Houdini - 26-Feb-05 03:45 PM
In May 1994 Simon told in an interview with the German technomag Stomp the story about this release. After the breakup with Christian Linder, he wrote 6 tracks and send them to different labels to get a release contract.
Among the labels were Eye Q records and FAX. Eye Q wasn´t interested, but he got a phone call from the FAX A manager. He liked the stuff and offered Simon to release a 12" and additionally he should produce 6 tracks more, so they could release an album on CD, too.
The Houdini album was the most succesfull release on FAX from a commerical point of view.
Zero Gravity - Elastic Harmony - 26-Feb-05 12:08 PM
In May 1994 the German technomag Stomp printed an interview with Simon Ellis and there he told how it comes to this production. He was jobless in England, so he decided to move to Düsseldorf, where his uncle lived and worked there in an advertisement company.
Simon visited often the club Ratinger Hof that time with Christian Linder as resident DJ. He went to him and asked about producing together. It took 4 months till Christian agreed to do it. So they made their first track "The Crave", put it on a DAT-tape and went to Frankfurt. There they joined the regular sunday morning afterhour at Dorian Gray with DJ Dag as resident. They requested him to play the track in his set and after some seesaw he did it.
One guy, who run the record store Embargo in Frankfurt, heard this track that morning and offered Simon and Christian to release it on his label Fucking Loud.
Only 500 copies were pressed, the demand was much higher.
Dance 2 Trance - Dance 2 Trance - 20-Feb-05 04:34 AM
Brilliant early trance track by Dag Lerner & Rolf Ellmer.
Dag and Rolf were inspired by the small plaque, which read, 'Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the moon, July, 1969 AD. We came in peace for all mankind'.
This plaque was left by the first men Neill Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin on the moon in July 1969.
Dr. Pravda - Krankenhaus - 21-Nov-04 06:20 PM
Krankenhaus is one of my all-time hardcore favourites. An awesome slammer produced with the legendaray Amiga Commoder Computer as all productions by Jan Pravda.
I believe this track is still the most played track on a MAYDAY rave in Germany. At the Party on 30th April 1994 in Dortmund, Germany several DJ´s played the tune, cause his minimal but very effective sounds kicked the crowd better than every other track at this time - at least you heard it 8 times! Former record track were Meng Syndicate with Sonar System, which was played 6 times.
Energy 52 - Café Del Mar (Remixes) - 07-Dec-03 02:17 PM
There were and are so many Cafe Del Mar remixes out there, but the only one in my opinion is Ralf Hildenbeutels masterpiece. Three`n Ones remix is, comparing to Ralf´s work, bullshit. Slow tempo, cheesy housey tunes - it completely lost the superb feeling of the original. I didn´t liked 1997 at the first moment i´ve heard it.
The best remixes in common were made weeks and months near the original release and not years later, when the remix sounds as a lot of the productions coming out at that time.
I believe this cd is the only one containing that remix. For some collectors maybe sad, that this isn´t the typical green / violett EYE Q cover, but if you see it - BUY it!
