A 1000 dubs deep Klaus Rakete and Mirko Hunger are FREUND DER FAMILIE, a 360° love affair of musical extraordinariness. Ever since the early 2000’s, both producers have been channeling their music through this now iconic moniker – an ever-growing experimental ground in the midsts of electronic music’s history. In a nutshell, their productions pay tribute to the provenance of a dance floor based on deepness, dub and melancholy. The result? Tracks nobody on this planet can ignore, let alone want to. Just as it was back then, when the musical cosmos for which FREUND DER FAMILIE today rose up out of the primordial soup of warehouse parties, bright drinks and naive uncompromisingness. Roots last the longest. FREUND DER FAMILIE produces and publishes for those who don’t want to forget history and at the same time have no fear of the future. A robot watches over them – forever. thaddeus herrmann
