Hamburg, Germany (2002 – present)
After Gerald Mandl and Florian Zwietnig got together as partners in crime under the moniker of Mediengruppe Telekommander in early 2002, Hamburg’s indie label Enduro soon pricked up their ears, bringing out a debut EP featuring five tracks in December 2002.
Their name consists of the german translation of “media-group” and a wordplay of the french word “télécommande” (engl.: remote-control).
The release caused a stir in well-informed underground circles and beyond. Things began to happen fast and furiously: initial live gigs, initial tour, initial press reactions, succeeded by the second EP in September 2003, out on Enduro again. More concerts followed, plus various features in MP3 magazines, more MP3 downloads, a no-budget video to promote Telekommander, on heavy rotation on Fast Forward on the German music channel, VIVA ZWEI.
Then came the move to Berlin. Even more MP3 downloads, interest from a number of labels, endless discussions and finally the decision to release their first album on Mute. Their debut album Die ganze Kraft einer Kultur (out on Mute (CD) and Enduro (vinyl)) was recorded in December 2003 at the Transporterraum studios by Moses Schneider and produced by Christian Harder in Hamburg. It arrived at the stores in May 2004.

@ dieDebby: also höre es gerade zum ersten mal und finde es nicht so überzeugend. zwar ganz gut, aber kommt bei weitem nicht an die ersten alben ran. zum großteil ziemlich langsam und kaum "dancefloor"-geeignet... hmm. aber um es richtig beurteilen können, muss ich es mir noch ein paar mal anhören...
