Since then they’ve released a string of hit singles, become one of the world’s most sought-after electronic live acts and developed their unique sound on the acclaimed albums Movements and The Sun & The Neon Light.
2008 was one of the duo’s most successful and madly busy years yet. As well as releasing The Sun & The Neon Light, their most ambitious and full-realized album to date, they embarked on another exhaustive world tour. Performing at festivals like Glastonbury, Rock Am Ring and Creamfields in Argentina, they cemented their reputation as one of the most formidable live acts around (Resident Advisor voted them the 5th best live act in the world). Their single “Charlotte” was one of the top three selling underground tracks on Beatport in 2008 and Booka Shade was voted ‘Best Tech House Act 2008’.
Having released a Movements tour edition, a live DVD called “We Came To Dance” (which found them performing to 12,000 fans at the Pukkelpop festival) and “Cinematic Shades”, a compilation of more reflective tracks from the Booka Shade back catalogue, the guys are now back in their Berlin studio working on a new album. They will play selected shows in Spring and over the summer festival season. Their eagerly-anticipated US tour starts in March 2009.
It’s been a long and winding road that’s got Booka Shade to where they are now. Following their formative synth-pop outings in the 90s and releases on labels like R&S, Music Man and Tommy Boy – including a huge hit in 1993, “Una musica senza ritmo”, as Degeneration - Arno and Walter sought a new, more personal outlet for their creative energies. They found this through Get Physical Music, which they co-founded in 2002. Since then they’ve been at the production helm of countless releases by M.A.N.D.Y, DJ T., Sunsetpeople and Chelonis R. Jones, and the label has quickly grown to become one of the most respected and popular underground dance music labels around, releasing hits from a variety of artists from the aforementioned to Samim, Lopazz, Raz Ohara, Elektrochemie and Jona.
In 2004 Booka Shade released their highly acclaimed debut album Memento, but it was their seminal collaboration with M.A.N.D.Y, “Body Language”, that launched them into the stratosphere. An immediate underground hit, the track also broke into commercial realms and was awarded ‘Ibiza Track of the Season 2005’. Booka Shade’s solo offering “Mandarine Girl” became a club smash and subsequent live performances at the 2005 Sónar festival and a warm-up set for Depeche Mode. Garnering massive props for both their studio work and live performances, Booka Shade have become in-demand remixers, lending their production magic to respected artists including Moby, Yello, Hot Chip, Depeche Mode, Roxy Music, Dubfire, Tiga, Dave Gahan and The Knife.
In 2006 the UK’s leading electronic music website, Resident Advisor, crowned Booka Shade ‘Best Live Act” and awarded them the title of ‘Best Album’ for their second long-player, Movements. Released in May 2006, it featured “Mandarine Girl” and “Body Language” alongside new club anthems “Night Falls”, “In White Rooms” and “Darko”. These tracks were among 2006’s biggest dance tunes, and “In White Rooms” and “Night Falls” were the two top-selling EPs for worldwide vinyl distributor Intergroove. The accolades stacked up: Pitchfork listed “In White Rooms” amongst the best songs of the year, while Germany’s ME Sounds listed 2004’s “Vertigo” amongst the “most important songs of all time”. A Groove Magazine poll voted them second best producers of the 2006, and Movements was one of its top 10 albums for that year. US magazine XLR8R championed the album as one of the top 100 of all time!
During their Movements world tour – which saw them perform a staggering 150 shows over the course of 20 months – Booka Shade released the 12”s “Tickle / Karma Car” and “Numbers”, both international radio and club hits, as well as a mix CD for the DJ-Kicks series which was chosen as DJ Magazine’s 1 compilation of the year and Mixmag’s 2. Soon after they brought out The Sun & The Neon Light, their most diverse and ambitious album to date. Since then they’ve toured as hard as ever, bringing their sound live and direct to audiences all over the globe; meanwhile Get Physical is as healthy as ever, and recently celebrated its landmark 100th release.
The band have just returned from touring the States and will spend the summer doing European shows and festivals. Visit their facebook or Myspace for more up to date gig info and current news.
There is a “Teenage Spaceman” video making competition in conjunction with Genero TV - more details in the myspace blog or in the events section on the bands Facebook.

Berlin-based duo Booka Shade (Walter Merziger & Arno Kammermeier) are considered one of the most celebrated electronic acts to come out of Europe over the past two decades.
Originally from Frankfurt, Booka Shade quickly gained a strong following within electronic music. In 2002 they formed the now legendary dance label Get Physical Music (together w/ M.A.N.D.Y., Thomas ‘DJ T.’ Koch and Peter Hayo). In 2005 the band release the international successes ‘Mandarine EP’ & ‘Body Language’ (co-prod. w/ M.A.N.D.Y.) launching them into the stratosphere.
Since their Sónar break-through in 2005 Booka Shade earned huge recognition with their innovative live shows. Opening for legendary acts such as Depeche Mode & Kraftwerk & headlining stages inc. Coachella, Glastonbury, Rock Werchter & Red Rocks. They have been named one of Resident Advisor's Top 5 live acts in the world & DJ Mag’s ’10 Unforgettable Sets From The History Of Exit Festival’. Booka Shade were recently inducted into Pete Tong's BBC Radio 1 Hall of Fame
Remix credits include; Depeche Mode, Moby, Hot Chip, Rüfüs Du Sol, The Knife & many more.
Blaufield Music founded in 2013 is the band’s label for releasing their own music & also other artists & emerging talent.
Twenty years, dozens of EP’s & six albums later, Booka Shade have become more than a household name, they have become synonymous with the spirit which drives electronic music & have set a precedent to which electronic music is still held to today.
