hold tight here comes “festplatten”.
is minimal house something for washed-up students, frightened of their own bodies? never heard of a “festplatten” release like “chordschleuder”, “dispodancer” or “zünder”? “die gebrüder teichmann” slide, dance and explode through the world from regensburg to cologne, hamburg, berlin or barcelona. without a mission or strategy (such stiffness and dogma only causes arthritis). no they jump around just for the fun of it. an unknockable sunny feeling that makes the music on their label so overwhelming. the two guys are always rescued by their own beat. “we were young and needed a groove, game, joke, a totally weird sound that can’t be disciplined”. “festplatten” bubbles euphoria in every direction, loving it to be alive.

just as they stopped roaring their free-jazz punk-anarchy and with the help of rave-daddy “rainer superuser” transformed their hometown regensburg into “rave”nsburg, the cologne based label “kompakt” pricked their ears up with interest.
what an initiation! “die gebrüder teichmann” started with their “aus der ferne” ep in the german techno-academy. but that went on too long, leading to an energy and idea blockage.

so the boys hit the road in their opel”beige gt”, but thats a story that you can check out through the hamburg label “l´age d´or” the music channel “viva zwei”. the customized “festplatten” juggernaut with hannes “ha.te” and “andy orange” at the wheel, sprayed dayglow colours with two ep´s of sensational dance value and a huge playground at the back, was already underway. no wonder that other minimal pranksters wanted to jump onto the “band”wagon.” superuser”,”markus güntner”,”benjamin wild”,”bad financer”,and “raumagent alpha” all came under the “festplatten” banner with the academy together, who already with 18 synthetic minimal funk releases, play with unmasculine rock.
rocking before original sin so to say. the “festplatten” apple throws no-one out of paradise, instead it invites them in. a rosy red crunchy apple that really explodes as you bite into it. it explodes and you jump and jump and jump. it won´t help to hold tight, “festplatten” is coming.
