Biography of Booka Shade

Booka Shade are Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier, production masterminds behind most Get Physical releases (eg all releases and remixes of M.A.N.D.Y., DJ T., Sunsetpeople and Chelonis R. Jones). In charge of their own production company and studio for the last 15 years, they have applied their wide range of talents not only to the realm of electronic music, but also a large number of other media productions. After two early 90s synth pop album releases and a number of live tours, they switched their attention to club projects for established labels like R&S, Harthouse or Tommy Boy. But it was their early incarnation of Booka Shade on illustrious Dutch label Touché which hit the zeitgeist and triggered excitement and enthusiasm in clubs all across Europe.

Together with their old friends Patrick Bodmer and Philipp Jung aka M.A.N.D.Y. they decided to found their own label, and after meeting Groove publisher Thomas Koch aka DJ T. Get Physical was finally launched in early 2002. After the intense build up and promotion of label artists M.A.N.D.Y., DJ T., Sunsetpeople and Chelonis R. Jones, in 2004 it was time for Booka Shade to pursue their own solo careers again.

For their first album “Memento” the two producers have poured the essence of their joint musical background into contemporary moulds. Observing a healthy balance between pop appeal and experimentation they have concocted unusual blends of modern 4/4 sketches and timeless listening titles. As part of a live set Booka Shade present exerpts from the album. Visuals and films exclusively produced for the show help to translate the album´s intense and cinematic atmosphere to the stage.

Comment: God Bless the Germans, and thank you for giving them the gift of music! This set is incredible. Its an essential mix so the audio quality is about as good as it gets. The first hour starts out with Booka Shade (live band) in the studio. They of course drop a lot of hot tunes that I can't get out of my head. The second hour wraps up with them on the decks continuing the energy and vibe straight till the end. This is a must have set. There's a reason why these guys have been getting so much acclaim and that is because they are very talented individuals. Check it out!

Comment: Recorded in 2006, this mix was such a ground breaker and trend setter, that it set the sound for 2007 and even 2008! This mix highlights the versatility of Booka Shade, from musical instrumentation to down right devastating DJs.

Comment: Classic techno coupled with some twisted sounds. The set builds and builds, with some quality tunes appearing in the second hour. Excellent mixing, been trying to get hold of it for a while. Goes down a storm after a night out.
The sound quality is superb, with the whole mp3 file lasting the full two hours.
