Christopher Bleckmann and Hannes Wenner first hooked up working the nighshift at a
videostore in the small german town Münster. Since both had been music fanatics their
whole life, they soon started making music together. Christopher is a classical trained
musician but he also got interested in electronic sounds and music at young age. He used
to play new synthesizers at local stores in the mid-80´s so fanatically that he got house-
forbidden in most of them in his hometown Bremen. Hannes never really tried to make music
by himself before he met Christopher but he always has been a very careful music-listener
and, growing up in Kassel, got infected with the Techno virus in the early 90´s.
The first project they ever started was a breakbeat one with a jungle-like attitude. But
it soon became clear, that they would not just stick to the scheme. So crossing borders and
mixing up styles became their most important principle. Due to this approach, Christopher
and Hannes soon began to work on completely different musical styles like Downbeat, House
or Minimaltechno at the same time. After a long string of Drum & Bass-records with their
project Monophace on Germany´s leading D&B labels Precision and Krush Grooves and after
their moving to the city of Cologne they began to release House and Downbeat tracks as Van
Delta on Groove Attack. Next thing was a radical form of MinimalTechno as Niederflur on
Detroit´s finest Minus, which lead them directly to their TechHouse project Misc. which is
currently releasing on Force Tracks and Sender-Records. Meanwhile Christopher has as well
become an excellent Techno/House DJ, who is supported by an unique live-performance of their
Misc.-project by Hannes.
Misc. - Live @ Fabric, London UK
have fun!
ps: if anyone could help on the date of this set, it'd be much appreciated.
it should be in 2004, as i checked the 2005 flyers & didn't see Misc. listed.
