Thomas P. Heckmann started doing techno-house music professionally in summer 1991with his first release EXIT 100 - LIQUID. After doing all sorts of electronic music since age eleven - including synthi pop, industrial, ebm, experimental - he was attracted by the likes of KLF and 808 STATE´s early stuff, that lead him into the new acid and techno styles in 1989 . His first release as EXIT 100- Liquid on the just started label FORCE INC was a good start into the then small techno world . It brought him the respect of a lot of people and the license on DANIEL MILLERS label MUTE RECORDS in England, which was single of the month in MELODY MAKER and reached number 20 in the independend charts in 1992. He also was one of the pioneer producers to release new acid styles in the likeness of UNDERGROUND RESISTANCE and +8 in Germany with his other projects on FORCE INC : AGE and SKYDIVER . Another of his landmark inspirations for germany ! After producing successfully for FORCE INC until 1993 he released new stuff on LABWORKS records in Germany under the name SPECTRAL EMOTIONS and on DJAX-UP-BEATS in Holland as PURPLE PLEJADE . 1993 he launched his own label TROPE RECORDINGS with his first release under his most successful project DRAX . TROPE RECORDINGS invented new styles, new sounds, new record- formats and was soon one of the leading independend techno labels in Germany and got friends and big following all over the planet . 1994 saw the birth of another label called ACID FUCKE
