‘Bus,’ as Berliners Daniel Meteo and Tom Thiel + guest MC Soom-T have fashioned a recording that in its general approach resembles Pole’s. Bus’s ‘Middle of the Road,’ for example, uses a lurching rhythm characteristic of Betke’s music, and the propulsive, bass-driven dub of ‘Clappin’ could be added to Pole without too much disruption.

Laub, a thoroughly 21st-century band in Berlin, creates starkly beautiful music that has one foot in pop music and the other in the future, unshackling emotions without recycling musical ideas from the past. Antye Greie-Fuchs, who supplies Laub’s vocals and programs the workhorse sampler/sequencer MPC2000, says: "We always try to be really authentic, which means we get influences and we don’t reproduce that. We strongly try to find our own way." More
Marc Weiser (the man behind the music) and Lillevaen (the man behind the visuals) provide deep aquatic techno and raspy electronic hip hop under the name Rechenzentrum. Besides gracing the decks on a regular basis, Weiser also promotes the extremely popular Berlin club Maria Am Ostbahnof. As Rechenzentrum, he has remixed tracks for Tarwater, Laub, and Elektronauten.

Yes, it is true that the Canadian-born, Berlin-based artist likes to sing about sex. It is also true that her combination of deliciously minimalist electronic beats and power-chord stadium rock fuse together to make music that is sincerely unlike anything else you'll hear on the planet.
Maxi Hecker first began playing his breathy, polyester pop to an audience at the corners of the Hackesche Markt in Berlin. The young singer/songwriter would stand there with his guitar and amp in an attempt to woo women ten years older then him with beautiful "schweinepop" or "cheap pop."
Hecker began his music career as a drummer for various rock bands, but discovered that the bands would not play his songs the way he intended. He soon set out on his own as a true musician of solitude, playing all the parts himself. After giving out about 30 copies of his demo to anyone who would indulge his romanticism, Hecker scored his first official release with the song "Cold Wind Blowing" on the soundtrack Alaska.de. His full-length debut, Infinite Love Songs, followed in 2001 on Kitty-Yo. The album, more suited to California beach bunnies than the industry of Berlin, established Hecker's position among pop Casanovas like Air and Momus.
