About the project: "In 2002 Jens Schefzig and Thorsten Paul met on a party and soon discovered their interest in the same type of music. Thorsten found out that Jens had some music equipment at home and Jens found out that Thorsten could play on such instruments;) So the Project KLOPFGEISTER was founded by accident, one day later. After lots of funny home sessions they played their first gig accidentally again, when Thorsten (aka DJ Pauli) hadn't enough new records for a DJ gig and so he asked Jens to accompany him on stage with the synthies. They were supported by a guitar player and singer, as well as a keyboarder, a drummer and a girl on a violin. They improvised for about three hours and after that, they surprisingly were asked to play four more gigs. Many live acts followed during the next years all around Europe, and they gained a lot of new influences for the studio. Especially Jens worked on his technical skills, whilst Thorsten used his DJ experiences and his classic piano education of ten years to work on songwriting, producing and arranging. KLOPFGEISTER..s first release "How to become a psychic" came out in 2004 on Mental Arts and still is a massive dancefloor burner until today. In 2005 they were asked by the famous PSY label "Balloonia" to release a whole album under Ballonia..s wings. So in May 2005 the album "Sweet Compromise" came out and received attention worldwide because of its melodic, emotional, progressive but also psychedelic approach. Due to the crash of "Cosmophilia Distribution", Balloonia Records and many other independent labels had to capitulate, so KLOPFGEISTER had to look for a new label. Meanwhile they had developed a lot of tracks and remixes for free download on their homepage www.klopfgeister.com and released many other tracks on compilations ( Minsitry of Sound, Millenium Rec,YSE, Mental Arts, Iono Music, etc.) KLOPFGEISTER..s second album “Sunflavoured” was released in November 2006 on IONO Music and this release climbed on top of the Psyshop sales charts within one week and stayed number 1 for four weeks. The guys toured for about two months around Europe in summer 2007 and played on big festivals in front of 10.000 people as well as on smaller special events on some crazy places in the universe. In November 2007 their 3rd album "Travel Diaries " was released, again on IONO Music which was not a totally new album, but a collection of tracks or remixes they played during live concerts or in hotel rooms, trains or airports. Easy to guess where the name "Travel Diaries" arised from! ;) Again, this album climbed on the top position of the Psyshop sales charts and still collecting many fans all around the globe. By now they are booked nearly every single weekend and they travel around the world to rock the crowd..s minds and butts. In 2008 a Japan/Australia Tour is planned. But there..s more to it than that: KLOPFGEISTER also work for German TV, producing soundtracks for documentaries as well as jingles for radiostations and homepages. Hard to believe, but Thorsten somehow manages to study music, media and art at the Marburg University (GER) alongside. So stay tuned & curiously await what the guys have in mind for the future!" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOVEMBER 2007 Image and video hosting by TinyPic ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE INFO IONO MUSIC: Here comes another masterpiece by one of Germany's most demanded live artists Klopfgeister. After their last No.1 album 'Sunflavoured' they have been constantly on the road to perform for the international trance community and receiving euphoric reactions. Now Thorsten Paul and Jens Schefzig present an extract of their actual live repertoire. Their 'Travel Diaries' offer you 9 powerful tracks, representing their uplifting and energetic live performances of the incomparable Klopfgeister style. Drawing on influences from older works, but at the same time fusing it with a fantastic updated sound, the album will no doubt be one of the progressive releases of the year. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Image and video hosting by TinyPic ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- November 2006 Klopfgeister - Sunflavoured (Album) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Iono Music is very proud to announce the release of the long awaited second Klopfgeister album. Two years after their first very successful album 'Sweet Compromise' the German musicians are back again with new sides of their unique production style. And once again Thorsten Paul and Jens Schefzig have created a very well produced album with fine deep grooving tracks that work excellent on psytrance floors in the morning as well as primetime in progressive clubs. Even this thin line between progressive and psychedelic trance with crossover excursions on both sides gives the new album a variation from the hip swinging funky to the uplifting, but all tracks emit the special Klopfgeister sound. From start to end 'Sunflavoured' takes you on a journey into their typical deep soundscapes. They have been playing their energetic live set at numerous European events and have successfully made a very good name for themself in the scene. Their new album will surely shake all dancefloors around the globe. Don't miss it! Still Fresh: Klopfgeister - Sweet Compromise (Album) (Balloonia Records) Style: Progressive Psytrance Released: May 2005 /2 KLOPFGEISTER "Morningtrance" at its best - the perfect description for the first "Klopfgeister" Album "Sweet Compromise" On the album "Sweet Compromise", just done by Thorsten and Jens in the studio, the pure electronic sounds are much smoother than the Live performances and most likely you would file it under Progressive - Psytrance. The synthesizers are warm and wide, the propulsive,hypnotic beats are never harsh, but faster than you would guess. This sound is fine for the dancefloor, but you will also love it in your private sphere, it makes you dream or fly high. Or both! Some melancholic parts also appear, especially on the last pure-Ambient track on the CD, "Melanchohol", which also shows the bandwidth of these highly talented musicians. They also produce Downbeat and Ambient sounds with the same enthusiasm, but this CD is dedicated to their talent to make people dance with euphoric and uplifting sounds. So it..s no wonder that especially girls love this sound and when the girls are on the dancefloor, the guys joining automatically in(old party organisers lection). ______________________________________________________________
