stefan rogall puts the legendary sound system "analogue freestyle"
on ice. he founded it in 1995 and it quickly developed into a
melting pot of the most important musical trends at the time. yet
in 1997 he wants to explore new musical territory with his partner
kasar: atomhockey was born!
rogall and kasar take their time to develop an original sound.
inspired by djing, rogall first creates a new rhythm that is to
become the basis for a fresh, uplifting sound, unburdened by
previous club music. right from the beginning, atomhockey's music
is supposed to set a standard of its own that doesn't use hip
musical genres or even meet any of the already established ones
like house, hip hop or drum'n'bass. and kasar as a
keyboarder/composer and rogall as a dj complete one another
ideally to realise this idea. a unique style comes into being.
the first ep "kick off", that fully realises their ambitious
project, comes out on rogall's label nozession/sonarkollektiv in
spring 1998.
subsequently, atomhockey, supported by prestigious jazzanova
amongst others, have performed as a sound system at various
sonarkollektiv parties in berlin and the rest of germany, at
festivals such as "boom" (2000) in portugal or "big chill" (2000)
in great britain. each performance has resembled a little
revolution: the crowd loves the sound while specialists start to
brood over what they actually hear. comparisons abound and
analysis brings forth family resemblances with detroit, break
beats or even nujazz. but: an atomhockey set is an atomhockey set
is an atomhockey set...
in 2000 already, rogall and kasar thought about producing an album
that staged a live set. however, it's taken another two years to
finish the cd you have in your hands now.
poets club records became aware of atomhockey relatively early on.
in 2000 atomhockey did a remix for slop shop which was
particularly well received in the us and japan, where it was
licensed for various compilations. they produced the exclusive
track "most" for the poets club records' compilation "inside 03"
which came out in late 2001. this track, by the way, with its
catchy string arrangement has become an opener of many dj-sets
since.
