Bio
.. .. .. .. .. .... ............MySpace Layouts..............MySpace Layouts............MySpace Codes............MySpace Backgrounds.......... .......... .. .... .. ..OUT NOW: "CRAVE" ....the new album by GD LUXXE.... .... ..11 Brand New Songs ..for your listening pleasure. zeitgeist-bending future retro! a mix between heaven and hell, darkness and light, love and hate. out now! .... .. ..the gd luxxe history.... .... ..1988: first release ..on austrias GIG records under the name of "HYPE". it was hommage to new order and pet shop boys. and it was a mega flop. GIG records (home of FALCO by the way) never release another "hype" record. .... ..1993 i met ..PATRICK PULSINGER. he just founded his record label "CHEAP RECORDS" together with ERDEM TUNAKAN. soon a new group was born and under the name of IO we released four 12" eps. besides IO i started releasing straight egde, detroit influenced minimal techno stuff under the name POTUZNIK on cheap records. .... ..in the following years ..i released many different kinds of electronic music on many different labels here in vienna (MEGO, SABOTAGE, POMELO, UPTIGHT, MORBID etc..) and also some stuff on DISKO B. .... ..1994 was the year ..when another project called "MAEUSE" was formed toghether with actor and cartoonist TEX RUBINOWITZ. we tried to bring back "rock n roll" into electronic music and did three "electroclash" albums ten years too soon. .... ..i met ..HANS PLATZGUMER in the middle of the 90ies and we decided also to do some projec ts together. this was the birth of my "experimental drum&bass-project" CUBE & SPHERE. we released an album and many 12" eps on Disko B. & Cheap Records. with Hans i also worked on some RnB influenced tracks together with QUEEN OF JAPAN singer and FRANZ FERDINAND comrad CATRIONA SHAW. .... ..through Platzgumer ..i also got in touch with CHICKS ON SPEED soon after they invented themselfs. i really liked their attidude, the mixture between art and punk and joined them for a couple of tracks that i produced for them, some of them togther with MEGO founder RAMON BAUER. .... ..Chicks on Speed ..introduced me to ED DMX aka DMX KREW. i was an avid fan of him and his label BREAKIN' records and i had those very 80ies influenced tracks ready that didnt fit on any techno label. i played those tracks to Ed and GD LUXXE was born. i released the album SUBMISSION and two 12" eps on breakin.. .... ..soon after ..i recieved an offer from detroits INTERDIMENSIONAL TRANSMISSIONS label to release an album there. label-founder BMG already released a track by pulsinger & tunakan on his label. he also liked what i did and soon after the 12" vinyl "THE 20TH DOOR" was released. a full length album called "THE 21ST DOOR" was released in summer 2003. it also featured the very rare collectors item "CORROSION/PAIN" - a limited 7 inch disc with 2 cover versions: This Corrosion (Sisters of Mercy) and Pain & Love (T. Rex) .... ..at about ..the same time i got in touch with SUCTION RECORDS from canada. i did a track together with label-founder JASON AMM which appeared on a suction compilation called SNOW ROBOTS. soon after we agreed to release the GD LUXXE mini album VENDETTA. .... ..i ve been doing ..tracks and remixes for detroits legendary ERSATZ AUDIO - label too since the mid 90ties. meeting LE CAR in vienna and later ADULT. was like meeting someone for the first time but having the feeling that you know him since ages. the full length album "BETWEEN ZERO AND ETERNITY" has been released in summer 2004 and clearly points to a new direction for GD LUXXE. moving away from those 80ties influences to a more futuristic kind of simple rock-music. .... ..with the album MAKE, ..which was released ob TIGERBEAT 6 in autum 2005, i tried to get even more away from my gothic and techno roots. MAKE was an experiment. i tried how far i can go with staying an electronic music artist but creating rock n roll tunes at the same time. thanks to the wonderful piece of software called "live" i was able to record all those songs again on guitar but transform them into something new. MAKE is also released on my own label angelika koehlermann for austria, germany and switzerland. .... ..in january 2005.. i also had the chance to write the score for a movie called "TEENAGE WASTELAND" for the first time. a very interessting and cool experience. .... ..im also working ..as a producer. i enjoy being involved in the process of editing music which is not created by me. gives me the possibility to see things from a different angle and to learn from the people im working with. .... ..so far ..i produced records for acts like CHICKS ON SPEED, ELECTRONICAT, TED MINSKY, austrian electropop duo SKIZZE , female singer ZEEBEE and the guys from BUNNY LAKE. .... ..something else ..that i also enjoy doing a lot is contributing my voice to different artists. it started a long time ago when i was involved in a remix for one of my all time heroes WIRE, where i sang a cover of their hit "the drill". .... ..after ..that i did vocals for spanish electro rockers "citizen". .... ..i was very pleased ..when i was asked by the legendary itaian new wave group N.O.I.A to join them for their project "raymond barry". they wrote the music and i did the lyrics and vocals. .... ..another highlight ..was doing a remix project together with alek stark, where i had the honor of doing a cover of a MARC ALMOND track. sometimes dreams do come true.. .... ..in early 2006 ..my vocal contributions could also be heard on an ep by FRANZ & SHAPE, called "destionation / location", out on relish records. .... ..something else.. im working on is an album together with DIDI BRUCKMAYR, an outstanding artist and performer from austria, a project together with G.RIZO, and of course new material for another GD LUXXE album. .... ..i was hired ..to do the mixing and engineering for a new album by MEDIENGRUPPE TELEKOMMANDER and new tracks for TUJIKO NORIKO. the album "A LITTLE WARNING FROM THE PIMPS" by vocal wunderkind DIDI BRUCKMAYR is released, featuring some songwriting and backing vocals by me. .... ..in 2007 .. i started to work with tex rubinowitz, philipp quehenberger and didi kern on the great "maeuse" reunion, after 8 years of doing nothing we got together to play some live shows. i also started collecting material for the next GD LUXXE release. .... ..after rebuilding .. my studio in vienna, i started to concentrate on "CRAVE" a GD LUXE album that contains some old unreleased tracks that were recreated using some new gear and some brand new tracks. the album will be out in october 2008. im also working with MAX FREUDENSCHUSS (former member of "SKIZZE") on new material that will be released as a 7inch vinyl later in 2008. .. ..
