Bio
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. DESSAU is the musical output mainly of one John Elliott. DESSAU deliver powerful, rhythmic industrial dance tracks that translates better to the dancefloor than to the home stereo. .. .. Elliott began his musical career in 1979 as drummer for Nashville punk rock outfit Cloverbottom. Elliott later experimented with electronic percussion as a member of Actuals, later known as Factual. After becoming fed up with the stagnant Nashville rock scene, Elliott moved to Chicago in the fall of 1981, joining Stations and working with Manchester producer Martin Hannett (Joy Division, New Order). He also gained valuable friendships with Ministry's Al Jourgensen and Steve Albini (Pixies/Nirvana). Returning to Nashville in 1983, Elliott formed DESSAU and worked again with Martin Hannett on DESSAU's first 12" EP, RED LANGUAGES. .. .. Working with veteran Nashville rockers Skot Nelson (guitar), Mike Orr (bass) & Barry Nelson (bass), DESSAU would release a series of dance-oriented 12" EPs through the latter half of the '80s, including HAPPY MOOD in 1986. The 1988 Mad Hog EP 12" featured a remix of the dance floor hit "Unshakeable" by Ministry's Al Jourgensen. Both Jourgensen & Paul Barker would contribute to the 1988 cover of Joy Division's "Isolation" which would become DESSAU's dancefloor break-through. The album, EXERCISE IN TENSION, which followed in 1989, included "Isolation". The CD version included "Beijing", DESSAU's third dance track hit. .. .. During the '90s, Elliott turned toward other projects which included Passafist, Rebecca St. James, Final Cut, Lick, Pyskosonik & writing the theme music for the Wax Trax!
