Originally composed by Collage in 1985, Herzschlag returns
in a newly recorded cover version by Berlin-based synth-wave
duo Bionda e Lupo. Describing themselves as a "boy/girl band
like no other", Lupo recreated the NDW-electro tune from the
ground up using an impressive array of vintage instruments
and studio equipment, including classic synths such as a
Pro-One, a Roland Juno-60 and a Farfisa Syntorchestra.
Bionda's distinctive voice adds a new emotional depth to
Katrin A. Kunze's lyrics while still remaining true to the
original spirit of the song.
Lupo of Bionda e Lupo has long been a devoted fan of Mit den
Puppen tanzen, Collage's only release at the time,
originally issued as a 12" single in 1984. Despite never
managing to acquire an original copy, he considers the
record unique within the German NDW landscape thanks to its
unmistakable "Bravo-breakdance-meets-synth-pop" character.
Indeed, Markus Kammann, Jurgen Grah, and Katrin A. Kunze
drew significant inspiration from the electro-funk pioneers
of the era, particularly Afrika Bambaataa's iconic Planet
Rock. When we approached Bionda e Lupo about re-editing a
track from the Collage's Motel d'amour release, they instead
proposed recording an entirely new cover version.
Work on the project began in spring 2025 in coordination
with Markus Kammann, who, together with Jurgen Grah,
originally composed the music. Sadly, Kammann, born in 1958,
passed away unexpectedly on October 17, 2025. This release
is dedicated to his memory.
The liner notes reveal additional details about Kammann's
remarkable life and achievements. He was the founder of the
legendary Beatbox club in Wuppertal, which was once
recognized as the "Best Club in Europe", and a co-founder of
the Groove Attack record store. Groove Attack would later
grow into one of the world's most influential music
distributors, especially for Hip-Hop.
