Torsten is one of my musical heros... I have met them all... except Torsten (and Jens Zimmermann).
Torsten died in a car crash November 6th 1993... I can't tell you how sad this makes me.
Go here to get a glimpse of Torsten's legacy... He made amazing underground 'techno' but there are few people who haven't heard Culture Beat's 'Mr Vain' - it has 23 million views... not bad for one of the world's premier underground techno producers!
Everything you need to know about the emergence of German 'techno' can be found on this compilation
My photos... my time in Berlin... music that I make or like... my life in Melbourne... and my obsession with New Beat and Agreppo :)

Oliver Lieb (Force Legato - System)
Oliver Lieb is one of my favourite electronic artists... especially his LSG project... he is playing Friday - 09/11/12 - at the Royal Melbourne Hotel, here in Melbourne! See you there!
Get a ticket!
In the meantime, enjoy this Agreppo track of his from the 80s.
Out Of The Ordinary - The Dream
I like to post videos of my favourite tracks... but unlike New Beat, which took the Belgian charts by storm, there aren't many videos of the darker German 'Agreppo' cousin...
This is one of the finest Agreppo tracks, in my arrogant opinion. :)

TANKT - Teenage Christ
This is the first new TANKT track since 2006! TANKT is Roberto Massaglia and I. We are writing together again and this track will get a video... We have more or less gotten bored with electronics for this project and have picked up the bass and guitar. Roby on bass, me on guitar with the production and mix by Roby. It is currently being mastered by Dave Walker of Stepford Audio in Melbourne. Dave has mastered every TANKT release so far...
Listen to it here
