BOOKA SHADE ARE WALTER MERZIGER AND ARNO KAMMERMEIER

Berlin-based Booka Shade (Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier) leapt to the forefront of contemporary dance music in 2005 with their classic singles “Body Language” (with M.A.N.D.Y.) and “Mandarine Girl”, and their debut full-length …Memento… Since then they’ve released a string of hit singles, become one of the world’s most sought-after electronic live acts and developed their unique sound on the acclaimed albums …Movements… and …The Sun & The Neon Light…

2008 was one of the duo’s most successful and madly busy years yet. As well as releasing …The Sun & The Neon Light…, their most ambitious and full-realized album to date, they embarked on another exhaustive world tour. Performing at festivals like Glastonbury, Rock Am Ring and Creamfields in Argentina, they cemented their reputation as one of the most formidable live acts around (Resident Advisor voted them the 5th best live act in the world). Their single “Charlotte” was one of the top three selling underground tracks on Beatport in 2008 and Booka Shade was voted …Best Tech House Act 2008…

@spacemanBOSE I guess the album Memento has a closer style to the album Movements (which has the songs you like). But the best experience of Booka Shade (who is not a he but two he's) is to listen to their BBC Radio1 essential mix (07-02-2006) a two hour showcase of them playing as a live band (instruments) then in the second half them DJ'ing.
