Both of them are linking not only their deep ambitions to electronic music with this project - they also link their passion for performing together. By the time the duo developed its pretty own stylistic presence in music, which makes their different inspirations and their sharing passion for electronic music absolutely audible. Nico Plagemann was born 1979 in Wismar, a little town at the baltic sea, and found his way to electronic music at the age of 14 - within the early tracker and demo scene. Fascinated by the possibilities of programming his own tracks, he became a tracker on his own, programming mods with Scream- and Fasttracker. This hobby developed and improved rapidly, and after buying the first electronic hardware instruments, it transformed into a passion.
Christian Hilscher was born 1979 in a little coast town named Boltenhagen, in the eastern part of Germany. Already in early years he developed an interest in music and created his first musical pieces with, at those days, popular Tracker tools. After his first open air- and underground parties christian figured out that there would be no way back for him. With his first MKII he started to work on his DJ talent and spent a lot of time making music and working active in culture. He organized his own events which became insider tipps in the regional electronic music scene pretty fast.
Christian and Nico got to know each other on a live gig. Contacts were changed, and through sharing their same interest in music, a deep friendship developed. In the following years both of them were spending all their money in their musical equipment, so it was no surprise that musical projects followed soon. Their first tracks were inspired by early Detroit-Techno and Acid House, which changed into dubby groove techno like releases by Raummusik, Mosaik and Basic Channel. But it wasnt just music what was motivating both of them. All their friends were acting in the electronic music scene and everybody was putting own ideas into it. Kollektiv Turmstrasse turned into the main activity and resulted with their first release in 2001 on electronic parliament.
Deine Distanz
Kollektiv Turmstrasse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where ever it leads.
but remember if you should show force of your desires,
If you should ever miss the arms that used to hold you so close,
or the lips that used to touch you so tenderly
And if you should miss my lovin' one of these old days
Life holds for you one guarantee
U will always have me.
The lyrics to Kollektiv Turmstrasse's song Deine Distanz are poignant and speak to the nature of separation and the inevitability of missing someone we once held dear. The opening lines set the tone immediately, as the singer acknowledges the reality that the person they are addressing must follow their own path, even if it takes them far away. The lines "I know, I know you must follow the sun, Where ever it leads" suggest a certain acceptance of this truth.
The next lines, however, reveal the depth of feeling that exists between the singer and the person they are addressing. They speak directly to the possibility that the person may someday regret leaving or feel the weight of their absence. The lines "but remember if you should show force of your desires, If you should ever miss the arms that used to hold you so close, Or the lips that used to touch you so tenderly" are full of longing and emotion.
The final lines of the song are perhaps the most powerful. They suggest that even if the person being addressed does come to miss the singer, things may never be the same as they once were. Despite this, the singer vows to always be there, stating "And if you should miss my lovin' one of these old days Life holds for you one guarantee U will always have me." These lyrics speak to the complexity of human relationships, the inevitability of change, and the resilience of love.

I know, i know you must follow the sun,
I understand that you have a need to explore and follow your passions and dreams just like the sun moves across the sky.
Where ever it leads.
You will go wherever your heart and soul desire.
but remember if you should show force of your desires,
But please remember that if you become too focused on your desires and intentions,
If you should ever miss the arms that used to hold you so close,
And if there comes a time when you long for the embrace of someone who once held you so dearly,
or the lips that used to touch you so tenderly
Or the sweet kisses of someone who once caressed you with such tender care,
And if you should miss my lovin' one of these old days
And if one day you begin to yearn for the love that I gave you,
Life holds for you one guarantee
Just know that one thing is certain in life,
U will always have me.
That I will always be there for you whenever you need me.
