Dataman refers to more than one artist: 1. Andreas Seibel was born in the Ural, Russia, and made his first musical experiences at the age of nine when he learned to play recorder (flute) and organ. Later he got in touch with the Amiga and some tracking-software and started to produce music together with a friend of him. He built up a little studio and put money into hardware until 2002. One year later he sold everything to finance his own record-label 'Jerkbox' which unfortunately did not establish and accordingly was discontinued in the beginning of 2004. Nevertheless Andreas had had releases on 'Thunderground' and 'Vernacular' under his former pseudo 'Frakmatik'. Since 2002 he is known as 'Dataman' and now also performing live on stage. 2. Savvas Georgiadis (aka Novatek, Dataman, etc.) is a music producer/DJ from Thessaloniki, Greece. His activities in electronic music started in 1987 and since then Savvas, using various pseudonyms/projects has released music ranging from deep mimimal techno to percussive tools to electro.
