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.

Kollektiv Turmstrasse Lyrics

1A-Sound oder wie?
(Ja und ich muss auch ganz ehrlich sagen also)
Ich bin grad' mit'm...
Eine Anekdote wo wir gerade beim Thema sind:
Äh, ich wurde letztens mal gesichtet irgendwie,
'Ne so vor zwei Monaten Alter
Auf'm Kiez morgens um Vier
Lauf' mit Perücke, Stöckelschuhe
Zwei Weiber im Arm
Also äh, 'ne und wenn dann und richtig und so vor allem egal...
The song, Schwindelig by German duo Kollektiv Turmstrasse, includes a spoken-word interlude at the beginning of the song. The dialogue is between a group of people discussing the music playing in the background. The singer then shares a personal anecdote, where he was seen walking around a popular district in Hamburg, Germany, called the Reeperbahn, at four in the morning wearing only his underwear, high-heeled shoes, and a wig, with two women in his arms. The singer seems to suggest that he is not concerned about the opinions of others and does what he wants without caring about the consequences.
The song seems to be about the feeling of being lost and dizzy (Schwindelig in German) when living a fast-paced, hedonistic lifestyle. The lyrics suggest that the singer is living a crazy lifestyle in which boundaries are ignored and anything is possible. It's about letting go and living freely, without concern for anything else. The fast-paced, pulsing beat in the background seems to mirror this hedonistic and intense lifestyle that the singer is living.
