Whoever witnessed them playing live on stage, will not entertain doubts any more: These two boys really leased the groove! And they did so quite extensive: Within no time, Schäufler & Zovsky have convinced their technoid audience by a series of compelling releases on Acker, SAT, Finger Tracks and others.
An icy wind blows over the frozen surface of the lake in this dark night in January. Over there, at the shore, the houses of the tiny village Mirow are cuddling up to one another, warm lights shine from their small windows invitingly. But what’s that? Beside the roaring winter thunder, another sound becomes audible: Some kind of dull, rhythmic pounding… It originates from one of the cosy little houses of the village. The situation in here contrasts really exotically with the icy winter night outside: Wearing only t-shirts, two dudes are wriggling frantically in front of a groovebox, a laptop and some connected MIDI controllers. They obviously really enjoy working their gear in some kind of hyperactive rush. But it is not only their passionate efforts on the equipment which makes the two of them sweating heavily. Also that groovy sound itself, which is modulated again and again and piled up to peak after peak in this way, radiates very special, energetic warmth. In this night of the still young year 2003 Sandro Schäufler and Stefan Witzovsky decide to start a mutual live project.
But it takes 5 more years before the two guys from the North- East German state of Mecklenburg release their pushing, put-in-a-nutshell Tech House sounds finally to a crowd on a dance floor. After some promising first releases, they eventually succeed in breaking through to the producer avant-garde with their production “Everyday” that is released on Acker Records in 2009. They managed to do so due to countless sessions in their mutual studio. One time, they barricade themselves in front of their gear for full four days without any break, finish the track “Am Utkieck” as well as a sunbathed live set during this period and even remain more or less sane despite an acute lack of oxygen and losing all sense of time. This remarkable productivity of the two of them is represented currently in a constant series of releases on labels like Acker, SAT, Finger Tracks, Superfancy and POPNorama. Their relaxed and cheerful style has been realized as a valuable enrichment for sets by numerous DJs.
Beside the entertaining independency of their releases also their sophisticated live act is highly appreciated: True mass euphony evolved for example when they rocked the crowd during the SOS U-Ground party on the venue of famous Fusion Festival in October 2009. Inspired by great experiences like this, the gents Schäufler & Zovsky are industriously busy with their debut album in the beginning of 2010. Show less
