After receiving attention in 2006 for a track released on Advanced Electronics vol3, Faderhead was signed to Accession Records/Indigo and released his debut album "FH1". One year later, he followed up with his sophomore album "FH2".
In 2008, Faderhead parted ways with Accession Records and joined L-Tracks Recordings. On October 10th, the third Faderhead album, aptly titled "FH3" was released.
Faderhead's live show is currently supported by Marco Visconti (of XP8) on keyboards and backing vocals. The Hamburg producer/vocalist uses different musicians for live shows.

Faderhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is a song about the dark
This is a song for everyone who stomps
The bass is pounding deep and hard
This is a song for all my dirty girls
This is a song for all the freaks
This is a song about the underground
And I say
Tanz, zwo, drei, vier
Tanz, zwo, drei, vier
Tanz, zwo, drei, vier
Tanz, zwo, drei, vier
And I say
Tanz, zwo, drei, vier
Tanz, zwo, drei, vier
Tanz, zwo, drei, vier
Tanz, zwo, drei, vier
This is a song for all the rivetheads
This is a song to make you move
This is a song about distorted beats
This song is officially approved
This is a song for all my dirty boys
This is a song for all the freaks
This is a song about the prime time floors
This is the time to be extreme
And I say
Tanz, zwo, drei, vier
Tanz, zwo, drei, vier
Tanz, zwo, drei, vier
Tanz, zwo, drei, vier
And I say
Tanz, zwo, drei, vier
Tanz, zwo, drei, vier
Tanz, zwo, drei, vier
Tanz, zwo, drei, vier
And I say
Tanz, zwo, drei, vier
And I say
Tanz, zwo, drei, vier
Tanz, zwo, drei, vier
Tanz, zwo, drei, vier
Tanz, zwo, drei, vier
And I say

Faderhead's "TZDV" is a high-energy electro-industrial song that pays tribute to the German club scene, particularly the underground fetish and alternative subcultures. The upbeat rhythm and pounding bass invite the listener to dance, while the lyrics celebrate the freedom to be oneself and embrace extreme, taboo or unconventional lifestyles. The song addresses both male and female audiences, referring to "dirty boys" and "dirty girls" and encouraging everyone to let loose and move their bodies. The title "TZDV" is a play on words, as it sounds like an abbreviation or code for a military or bureaucratic term, but actually stands for "Tanz Zwo Drei Vier," which means "Dance Two Three Four" in German and is a common count-in for music.
The song is characterized by a mix of electronic sounds, including distorted beats, synthesizers, and vocal effects, as well as occasional guitar riffs and samples of crowd noises. The lyrics are simple and repetitive, but effective in creating a sense of unity and excitement among club-goers. The repeated phrase "Tanz Zwo Drei Vier" serves as a catchy hook and reinforces the song's message of letting go and having fun, regardless of societal norms or expectations.
