Malbetrieb, in real life better known as Niels Schilder, is a busy man. Not only is he a DJ and a producer. He also is one of the key members of the Klopfgeist crew.

A Korg MS20, a grating and murmuring Siel Synt and Fasttracker is all he uses to lift his career as a producer. A young and growing label from Leeuwarden starts to show some interests in his productions.
