Thomas Fehlmann
Ocean Club and the ORB
|
Thomas Fehlmann *1957 Oliver kahn: weiter, weiter,
immer weiter! Originally from Z¨¹rich, Thomas Fehlmann moved
to Hamburg in 1976 in pursuit of love and art. A passionate
record collector since childhood, music became the focus of
activity during his time at the Hamburg Art Academy - instead
of going on holiday, he bought a Korg MS20 synthesizer. A chance
meeting with Holger Hiller soon resulted in the founding of
Palais Schaumburg. Often described as avant-garde, the group
combined deconstructive tape experimentation with pop sensibility.
Palais Schaumburg became the creative spearhead of the movement
later known as Neue Deutsche Welle. Fehlmann was the nucleus
and driving force behind the group for over five years. After
Palais Schaumburg disbanded in 1984, Fehlmann moved to Berlin
where he began a creative reorientation. Falling prices for
electronic equipment spurred a new movement best described by
two magic words: "home studio" and "sampler."
Although the setup was rather primitive, the foundation for
Fehlmann's do-it-yourself approach was laid. Under the moniker
Ready Made, he began to explore electronic music with danceable
beats - while pushing the boundaries between borrowed sounds
and innovative creations. "House Music" was just beginning
to appear on the scene. In the late 88 Fehlmann launched the
record label Teutonic Beats. Two compilations and numerous 12"
singles by the emerging German electronic music scene, later
to be called techno. The lineup included such figures as Moritz
von Oswald, J?rg Burger, Wolfgang Voigt in addition to Sun Electric
and Westbam. The records created a furor and caught the attention
of Alex Paterson, an A&R representative at EG. In 1989 Fehlmann
traveled to London, and EG agreed to release the material. The
single "Movin'" by Marathon landed in the charts.
At that time, Paterson was conceptualizing the Orb, and creative
synergy soon followed. Fehlmann became a co-producer and writer
for the project and assumed his role as a "floating member"
of the group. Paterson convinced Fehlmann to accompany the Orb
on tour as a DJ - and an undiscovered world was revealed. A
teeming new cosmos in London became his nucleus for groundbreaking
work. In 1994 Fehlmann collaborated with Paterson, Kris Weston,
and former mentor Robert Fripp to record the album FFWD >>-
now regarded as a milestone in establishing electronic music
beyond the club clich¨¦. During his sparetime in Berlin he additionally
worked for tresor records and collaborated as 3MB with Moritz
von Oswald and Juan Atkins as well as working with Underground
Resistance, Blake Baxter, and Eddie "Flashin'" Fowlkes.
This sent a powerful message and solidified the notorious Berlin-Detroit
connection. Fehlmann has been based permanently in Berlin again
since 1995, where he works on producing original material, writing
with the orb, remixing work from other artists, DJing, and contributing
to the Ocean Club. Ocean Club grew out of a musical partnership
with Gudrun Gut and soon spawned regular evening events. A one-year
stint as resident at Tresor in Berlin and club installations
across Europe followed and have inspired the members to exploit
all aspects of their creative potential. Designing the rooms
(in gallerys and museums) creating the visuals and incorporate
other subjects to clubculture as reading and painting. The Ocean
Club radio show premiered in 1998. Hosted by Gut, Fehlmann,
and assorted Ocean Club activists, the weekly two-hour program
is broadcast on Radio Eins (SFB/ORB) and features a musical
spectrum ranging from Neil Young and K?ln/Kompakt artists to
Madlib and DJ Koze. The perspective of the show is in perpetual
expansion. Through Ocean Club, Fehlmann's role as DJ has continued
to expand: a two-year residency at WMF in Berlin; a pointed
and charming Ocean Club compilation; and virtually countless
DJ gigs from Beijing to Helsinki have proved fertile ground
for innovation. Major events at the Berlin Volksb¨¹hne (renowned
for its complex and explosive material) have met with resounding
success. Fresh tracks from Fehlmann have appeared on compilations
released by f.e. Plug Research, Scape, and Vertical Form. Since
2002 his work is available on the Cologne-based Kompakt label.
Insiders anticipate a new album and live dates later this year¡

Gudrun Gut
Ocean club founder and DJ
|
Gudrun Gut is an eclectic one, spanning a wide
range of media and collaborations. Founder and owner of two
labels (Moabit Records and Monika Enterprise) Gut promotes unconventional
approaches by female artists, allowing them maximum control
over the production process. Moabit Records (est. 1990, 10 releases
to date) reissues material by Malaria!, Matador, Miasma and
other projects with a personal involvement, while Monika Enterprise
supports young artist in the realm of new electronic/independent
music (est. 1997, 23 releases to date) such as Quarks, Barbara
Morgenstern, Komeit or Contriva www.m-enterprise.de. A skilled
audio engineer, programmer and record producer Gut is active
in the technical production and commercial sectors of the recording
industry and has taught workshops for women in creative electronic
audio production. While still a student at the Hochschule der
K?ste, Berlin (1978-84) Gut first came to prominence in the
early eighties as part of a scene the media dubbed "ingenious
dilettantes". A member of Mania D and an early incarnation
of Einst?zende Neubauten she soon formed successful eighties
all-female art rock band, 'MALARIA!' with Bettina Koester, touring
Europe and the USA. ('Malaria!' is still in available and even
reached the charts in 2001 via a remix by "ChicKs on Speed",
incidentally). In the late eighties Gut was part of three women
band MATADOR and started to use a computer for her compositions
- since the early nineties Gut has been responsible for numerous
scores for film, video and radio plays. In 1991 she started
the Miasma Project, an international mixed media collaboration
with Myra Davies (Canada). Two years later she founded the Ocean
Club ( http://www.oceanclub.de ), a loose collective of likeminded
souls with a unique approach for tackling music from a variety
of angles. Together with Thomas Fehlmann Gut now hosts and co-produces
Ocean Club Radio, a weekly 2 hour show of eclectic sounds on
Radio Eins, Berlin - for real audio streams check out: ocean

BUS
westen sc10 12"
EFA 27110-6 release date: march 22nd 2002 After a sneak preview
on staedtizism 2, the scape compilation assembling a wide range
of well-known electronic artists touched by jazz harmonies and
dub approaches, bus, a project by Daniel Meteo and Tom Thiel,
has devised a unique formula to expand this medium. Like a chemical
reaction they have synthesised a brand new alloy from pop and
dub, leaving no obvious traces of the original input. Given
a fictitious audio microscope much would be unveiled about the
astonishing variety of noises and rhythmic shifts hidden under
the bonnet of a comfortably purring bass drum. Bus deal in subtleties:
you won1t find direct stylistic references or even discernible
samples on either "Westen2 or "Spanish Techno2. Preferring
the file to the crowbar dub marks the boundaries of soundscapes
where slickly grooving, atypical noises adopt the rhythmic patterns
of a hiphop beat and undoubtedly reggae-based guitar picks merge
into subliminal streams. This is music which, as Meteo suggests,
would feel at home on a club1s second dance floor - a place
less concerned with forced exhilaration or the need to dance,
but with fresh and open listening approaches. AG Penthouse1s
(aka J?rg Burger & Antonelli Electric aka Popup) HdR-remix,
too, is reminiscent of a chemical treatment: the recovery and
isolation of elements. While Bus prefer to hide pop references,
AG Penthouse do no shy away from experimenting with its heart-wrenching
qualities, creating space pop more than a Cologne-D¨¹sseldorf
divide away from similar approaches favoured by the likes of
Air. AG Penthouse uncover beauty and surround it with bizarre
psychedelica - somewhere between track and song they have created
room for an ecstatically idiosyncratic piece of music. Daniel
Meteo studied music, played with dub reggae band Submission
and has his hand in more than a few Berlin club activities.
As Meteo he spins Jamaican Vinyl to enthusiastic dancehall crowds
and runs his rather more traditional dub label under the same
moniker. Tom Thiel, too, has a history: Together with Max Loderbauer
he founded downtempo electronica project Sun Electric, later
spawning s.e. berlin. In this city he is a member of the Ocean
Club, a loose association of artists and musicians around Gudrun
Gut and Thomas Fehlmann. Tracklisting:
