Fremdkunst was initiated by Dutch producer/dj Kool 'DJ' Mace in 2004, as a sequel to his instrumental beats album Zarathustra (2002) and as an exhaust for his love for beats, jazz, hiphop, vintage synths, improvisation, philosophy and literature. Inspired by the early D.I.T.C. & Paul C sound and works of Nietzsche & Chamfort, Mace created a mixture of hard-hitting beats with cinematographic vibes and melodies. On the first Fremdkunst demo (2006) Mace combined jazz, surf, old school house and other musical styles with hiphop/breakbeats. To complete the first official Fremdkunst album (2010) Mace worked with DJ Optimus, Shycop, Mete Erker and others. In the following years a lot of music was launched (via Kitchen Dip, Black Hole, Redrum etc.). Fremdkunst also performed live, as team or as onemanshow, on many stages with different guestmusicians including Optimus, Eric Vloeimans, Baba Sissoko, Vincent den Hengst and Erwin Vann.
