Biography of Yapacc
Yapacc stroke his first collision course with Techno music in 1995: After he had been influenced by the richness of the 70es and 80es electronic music universes, Techno tunes by Sven Vaeth, Joey Beltram and Air Liquide attracted his attention.
He co-founded the project Elektrasmus with Holger Schmidt and launched the 'Weisskirchener Electronic Festival'. After having taken extensive live and studio session excursions, they finally signed to Maelstrom Records in 1997. In the same year Elektrasmus was one of the Techno acts to pioneer internet live streaming (at 'Dokumenta X', Kassel/D). Besides they toured Germany and the Netherlands. A release on Poets Club Recording ('Inside 02' w/Brian Eno, Peter Schwalm and Shantel) followed in 1998.
As a next step yapacc started a net art label in 1999 and produced film scores for old classic movies, releasing three CDs. Two years later he left the label.
In 2001 he founded Voiceheads together with Juergen Klumpe – a duo interweaving guitar drones and textures with vocoded voice, blending Techno structures with Psychedelics on a high intensity level. Shortly they belonged to the live regulars of the popular, Cologne-based 'Battery Park' and 'Elektrobunker' festivals.
The internet platform Tripbeat was launched in 2001, featuring live acts, DJs and VJs to promote several party events. The Tripbeat crew, among them yapacc, performed in Berlin, Cologne, Frankfurt and Karlsruhe. During that time yapacc met Dr. Walker of Air Liquide with whom he cultivates a steady friendship and production team until today. Elektrasmus signed to Pinku Records.
From 2003 yapacc intensified his music productions. Apart from reinstructing the notorious Narcotic Syntax (perlon) , he syndicated Studiogemeinschaft (Studio Community) with the inspirational DJ Franklin de Costa to create a uniquely syncopated Tech style. Their first 12'EP release 'Infected' (Trapez ltd21) will follow another red-hot one pretty soon. A live performance at the Trapez party at Sensor Club during 'c/o pop festival' in Cologne let the crowd drool over the vast array of skilfully combined analog and digital equipment.
In the same year a new electronic festival institution similar to (and incorporating members of) Tripbeat was born with MainIstromkultur. In the course of the annual Frankfurt 'Museum Riverbank Celebration' events took place twice so far, having presented 50 audio and visual artists on live equipment, turntables and video gear over a period of three days each in 2003 and 2004.
Finally yapacc created his own website and continues collaborating with DJs of different provenance. One of their community's platforms is The Green Empire. Currently/additionally he elaborates a Funk House solo project – its consolidation of murderous groove monsters with deep melodic creatures represents a culmination of his musical socialisation. The first solo ep as Yapacc will release in nov 2005 on Neuton Music. Another releases are planned in collaboration with betti synclar (voc/lyr).
Further yapacc works as demonstrator and product designer for Manfred Fricke (MFB, Berlin) who fabricates fine small synths, drum machines and production tools for a low budget.
Apart from all those activities he performs live gigs together with Dr. Walker – as Helden der Revolution (Heroes of the Revolution) – on a regular base to gain maximum live energy. They recorded some brand-new tracks at the 'Asbest Bar Studio' which is located in Dr. Walker's own Club Camouflage in Cologne. A release is near completion.
The collaboration with Good Groove achieved a release on Multicolor (Come On - Mcr 143.0) and tresor.220 compilation vol. 13 (track title: treasure). more stuff are in progress.
