Terence in charge of the music, bringing his energised analogue sequences, Douglas in charge of the vocals, bringing his own unique energy and powerful voice.
Terence Fixmer, a world renound techno artist , has been involved in the techno scene for more than 10 years. In 1998 he signed to Gigolo Records and has gone on to have many hits such as ‘Electrostatic’, ‘Body Pressure’, ‘Electric Vision’ and the album ‘Muscle Machine’ (voted as the top 3 album of the year for Groove Mag). He also has remixed tracks for amoungst others Sven Vath Dave Clarke and Hell. Terence became famous through his live performance - a kind of mixture of EBM and Techno, i.e. full of energy and power. When you see a Terence Fixmer show you never forget it ! His sound is unique and instantly recognisable as his own. He has played at the biggest events such as I Love Techno, May Day, Nature One, and the biggest festivals such as Pukkelpop, Dour Festival, Benicassim as well as appearing at the best techno clubs all over the world.
In 2002 Mute records asked Terence to remix Nitzer Ebb, and through this Terence got in contact with Douglas McCarthy , the Nitzer Ebb singer.
Douglas McCarthy, already world renound as the legendary voice and founding memberof the band Nitzer Ebb, has taken his time returning to music. Douglas and Terence soon became great friends.
Nitzer Ebb, an avant-guarde electronic band, started in England in 1982 signing to Mute Records in 1986 after releasing a string of instant global club hits on their own label.
Douglas brought the raw power of his voice to the band, along with an amazing stage performance seen all over the world with the brilliant Nitzer Ebb live show that was always full of the tension and rage of hits such as ‘Let Your Body Learn’, ‘Join in the Chant’, ‘Control I’m Here’, and ‘Getting Closer’ – tracks that are still as popular today as then.
Along with Bon Harris, the other founding member of Nitzer Ebb, Douglas perfected his skill as a showman by relentlessly touring the 5 albums they released between 1987 and 1995. ‘That Total Age’, ‘Belief’, ‘Showtime’, ‘Ebbhead’, and ‘Big Hit’ have all given an incredible influence on the electronic scene of today, but it is also the voice of Douglas that is the reference of the alternative scene and make Nitzer Ebb one of the all time top EBM bands.
In 1995 after the last US tour for the final album Big Hit, Nitzer Ebb split.
Bon went on to work with other bands such as Marylin Manson, and the Smashing Pumpkins, and his own project, the LA based Maven.
Douglas collaborated with Alan Wilder (Depeche Mode) for the second Recoil Album ‘Unsound Methods’, but then left music alone while he studied film, and design in Cambridge, England. He moved back to London in 2000, where he works a director, and assistant director in advertising.
Then in 2002 Terence and Douglas decided to work together on a revolutionnary electronic project that brings together the souls of Douglas and Terence with music and voice.
FIXMER/MCCARTHY is the name of the project.
And once again there is an amazing and explosive stage performance!
Their album ‘Between the Devil…’ is ready with a release date set for May 2004.

Fixmer/McCarthy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Verse 1
I know you noticed him Standing by his girlfriend
Looking like two people in love
When just a week ago He was calling you saying
Baby I just can't get enough
I remember the days You didn't have what it takes
Chorus
Run Heart Run - I can feel you achin'
Run Heart Run - It's my will you're breakin'
I don't want to feel you hurt anymore
We've both been down that road before
You got to run run run run run
Run Heart Run
Verse 2
I know you skipped a beat Every time he held me
When everything felt so right
Now his mistake has you Bendin' 'til you break
Coz he's out there holding her tonight
I remember the times and all the obvious signs
Just give me what I need to leave it all behind
Chorus
Post Chorus Run Heart Run (x 4)
Bridge
Don't even worry, I'll keep breathin' You'll keep beatin'
He's just a piece of history Not worth repeating...
That's why we've got to...
Chorus
Post Chorus Run Heart Run (x 4)

The lyrics to "Run" by Fixmer/McCarthy tell the story of a person who is witnessing a friend or loved one in a toxic relationship. In the first verse, it is apparent that the singer has observed the person they care about with their new partner, seemingly in love. However, they are aware that just a week ago, this same person was involved with the singer, confessing their inability to get enough of each other. The singer reminisces about the time when the person they care about did not possess the necessary qualities to make the relationship work and encourages them to let go of their past mistakes and learn from them.
The chorus serves as a plea for the person to run away from this harmful relationship, as the singer can sense their pain and sees their will being broken. They don't want to see them hurt anymore, and both of them have experienced the consequences of staying in such situations before. The repetition of the line "Run Heart Run" emphasizes the urgency and importance of escaping this cycle of pain and heartbreak.
In the second verse, the singer acknowledges the effect the new partner has on the person they care about, causing their heart to skip a beat and making everything feel right. However, they also recognize that this new partner's mistakes will eventually lead to the person being hurt and broken, as they are currently out somewhere else, holding someone else. The singer remembers the past when there were signs and obvious indications that this relationship was not healthy, and they urge the person to give them what they need to move on and leave it all behind.
The post-chorus repeats the line "Run Heart Run" once again, emphasizing the urgency of escaping this toxic relationship. The bridge reassures the person that the singer will continue to breathe and live, while their heart will keep beating. The new partner is portrayed as just a piece of history that is not worth repeating, solidifying the message that the person needs to run away from this destructive relationship.
Overall, "Run" by Fixmer/McCarthy explores the theme of recognizing and encouraging someone to break free from a toxic romantic relationship. It emphasizes the importance of learning from past mistakes, acknowledging warning signs, and taking action to protect one's heart from being hurt.

I know you noticed him Standing by his girlfriend
You were aware of him standing next to his girlfriend
Looking like two people in love
They appeared as a couple deeply in love
When just a week ago He was calling you saying Baby I just can't get enough
Only one week ago, he would call you and express his insatiable desire for you
I remember the days You didn't have what it takes
I recall the times when you lacked the necessary qualities
Let it go, (to) learn from your mistakes
Release your grip on the past in order to grow from your errors
Run Heart Run - I can feel you achin'
Move swiftly, my heart, as I sense your pain
Run Heart Run - It's my will you're breakin'
Keep running, my heart, even though it strains my resolve
I don't want to feel you hurt anymore
I wish to shield you from further pain
We've both been down that road before
Both of us have traveled that path previously
You got to run run run run run
You must hurry and run repeatedly
Run Heart Run
Move swiftly, my heart
I know you skipped a beat Every time he held me
I'm aware that you felt a flutter whenever he embraced me
When everything felt so right
During those moments, everything seemed perfect
Now his mistake has you Bendin' 'til you break
His error has pushed you to your breaking point
Coz he's out there holding her tonight
Because he is currently embracing her
I remember the times and all the obvious signs
I recall the instances and the clear indications
Just give me what I need to leave it all behind
Provide me with what is necessary to move on from it all
Don't even worry, I'll keep breathin' You'll keep beatin'
Don't fret, I will continue to breathe while you maintain your rhythm
He's just a piece of history Not worth repeating...
He is merely a part of the past, not worth revisiting
That's why we've got to...
That is the reason why we must...
Whoa..Run
Whoa.. Move swiftly
