Airwalk



In the summer of 1991, Claus Pieper and Oliver Kuntzer, both experienced DJs, decided to combine their musical ideas and form a group. Shortly after their initial session, they teamed up with Ingo Kays to create Genlog. The group began producing music that was both innovative and highly danceable. Their first release, the Mockmoon EP, featuring the rave anthem Mockmoon, brought them significant recognition and marked their breakthrough in the national and international techno-house scene. This success led to their first appearance at Mayday, one of the largest house techno parties of the time, where they performed in front of 30,000 ravers. From then on, Genlog toured extensively across the European rave scene. In 1993, Genlog transitioned from the Belgian label Music Man to the Berlin-based Low Spirit. The group released tracks like House for You and Me, Revolution, and It Feels So, but by the mid-1990s, Ingo Kays left the group, and Genlog returned to a duo with Pieper and Kuntzer. They continued releasing their own tracks such as Eiskalt, Airwalk, Ceasefire, Face da Music, and their latest single More Music. Genlog also worked on remixes for several notable artists at their studio, Smoke and Dream Studios. Their remix work included tracks for artists like Marusha (Somewhere Over the Rainbow), RMB (Redemption), Emanuel Top (Turkish Bazar), Alien Factory (Oet the Future), and Hooligan (Sueno Futuro). In addition to their remix work, they released the album Alive and Kicking with Low Spirit, showcasing a new direction with a blend of trip-hop sounds. The album was well-received, and their tour, which included performances at events like Life on Mars Mayday, drew large crowds and strong sales. Following the success of Alive and Kicking, Genlog released their follow-up album Rosa Lauschen in 1998, which also achieved strong sales. That same year, they parted ways with Low Spirit and released a downbeat album Kemiri through Strichcode Records in 2000. During the following years, Genlog worked on numerous remixes for various artists, including Music Instructor, Griesse, and Two Chicks on the Next Floor. They also released music under different project names such as Atropin Project, Butter & Steel, Lilo S., Eigenart, and Spellbound. In 2002, Genlog's classic track Mockmoon was re-released with new remixes by Erik Vee and Rave Allstars. Later that year, the duo made their return with the new single This Is Not A Lovesong, released by Urban/Universal and exclusive to the German, Austrian, and Swiss markets. Read more on Last.fm.
