Superpitcher made his first appearance on Kompakt's Total 2 compilation album in 2000 with the song "Shadows". In 2001, he contributed a track to Kompakt's first Speicher 12" and released Heroin, a three-track 12" with three different sounds; "Tomorrow" was later included on that year's Total 3. On 2002's Total 4 there was another track by Schaufler, an electro-pop cover of Brian Eno's "Baby's on Fire". Soon after that, Schaufler released his second 12", Yesterday, which featured re-workings of the songs "Tomorrow" and "Heroin". He also made another appearance that year on Kompakt's fourth Speicher 12".
Since stepping out, Schaufler has done steady remixing work for the likes of Dntel, Carsten Jost and several others. In early 2004, Superpitcher released his debut album Here Comes Love. A year later, he released a mix album for Kompakt called Today.
Superpitcher and Michael Mayer have collaborated under the pseudonym Supermayer. Their debut album, Save The World, was released in 2007.
Schaufler's latest album as Superpitcher, Kilimanjaro, was released in 2010.

The lyrics to Superpitcher's song Happiness express a constant yearning for greater happiness. The repetition of phrases such as "I want happiness" and "I seek happiness" emphasizes this desire. The lyrics also suggest that the singer's happiness is tied to the happiness of another person, as they sing about causing someone else's happiness and wanting it to be their own as well.
The use of repetition in this song's lyrics is highly effective as it reinforces the primary message at the forefront of the song. Furthermore, the song's overall dreamy and ethereal vibe pairs well with the lyrics, as both the music and lyrics seem to exist in a world of pure imagination, where anything is possible. The final line, "To cause your happiness to be your happiness" encapsulates the theme of the song, that true happiness comes from bringing joy to others.

One of my favourite from "Here Comes Love". The last track (Even Angels) is also fantastic.
This album is for me the ultimate Superpitcher's masterpiece. It is music, but not only. Each time I listen to it, I feel like I'm reading a magic book. There's something "haunting" in his repetitiv and minimalistic way to use his voice and words.
It is romance, melancholy, loneliness, passion and timeless love in their purest form.
Eternal love for this creation.

Back in the 80’s, techno that was about to born in Detroit had a clear and consequent legacy with Düsseldorf and Cologne (Germany. Kraftwerk, remember?). In the early 2000s there has been a beautiful return of Detroit techno influences on « kölsch minimal ». History happens to be sometimes a nice guy, isn’t it?
