about
The German duo borngräber & strüver, condenses their musical passion into a concentrated sermon, accessing club DJ Strüver's impressive record archive, neatly ordered by categories like Neue Musik, Kraftwerk, Jazz, Hip-Hop or atonal - more records than he can actually fit into his smoked out DJ studio in Berlin-Kreuzberg. Borngräber, on the other hand, remembers notes. A lot of them. Some of the tracks recorded in his home-studio in Berlin-Friedenau are based on chord progressions by Bach or Fauré. Of course, listening to Kraftwerk's 'MenschMaschine' and 'Autobahn' or Moondog hundreds of times like Strüver has audible results. their debut album 'transcontinental' is an original itself, a patchwork of subtle references, leaving a lot of space open for associations, making you hear things, that, physically, aren't present. They started working in 1999. The resulting album 'transcontinental' is devised to be listened to as a whole rather than focussing on a club track format. Five years of low life with the head up high have become a complete expression. in late summer 2009 the new album "berlin" will be released. for may 2009 a 12" with remixes featuring smith & mighty is planned.
