WIPPENBERG's first release NEURODANCER is still a respected club track, which you can find on many vinyl-wholesaler-lists as one of the-most-wanted-sold-out-records!
Finally in 1999 he got a remix-request from the act IAN VAN DAHL for their first release CASTLES IN THE SKY and so the whole project WIPPENBERG kicked back! Olaf received a lot of positive feedback on this remix and so it happened that ATB and BLANK & JONES knocked on his door. With the remixes of ATB LET U GO and BLANK & JONES NIGHTCLUBBING he creates again a big international hype around the project WIPPENBERG and his special uplifting sound. A lot of remixes followed for example for FRAGMA, MARC ET CLAUDE, GREEN COURT, DANCE NATION, NBG and the legendary DJ TIESTO. So now you can imagine that his remixes can be found in many, many dj cases and dj playlists! He really rocks!
In the meantime Olaf belongs to Germans finest techno- and trance-producers. His project WIPPENBERG and his chart acts are all well-known for their own style and high quality production all over the world.
End of 2003 he finally found the time to concentrate upon and to finish his second single release the WIPPENBERG ELEMENTAL EP 1/2, including the progressive-hymn FIRE and the trance-smasher WATER.
After a small vip-mailout to some international key-djs the feedback and the support was massive. The EP gains a lot respect from many DJs worldwide - like f.e. JUDGE JULES, JOHAN GIELEN, DUMOND, BLANK & JONES, JOHN ASKEW, MARCEL WOODS, COSMIC GATE, LANGE, TATANA, ERNESTO VS. BASTIAN, DJ SHAH, DJ CHOOSE and many more.
In May 2003 Olaf found his own label TOUCHED BY SOUND RECORDS and prepared the official release of the WIPPENBERG ELEMENTAL EP 1/2.
At the moment he is working on a new and frequently requested! - WIPPENBERG ELEMENTAL EP Part 2 and of course on a debut album. You can expect a great mixture of the typical uplifting and kicking WIPPENBERG sound, with themes that will touch you and beats that will make you move. So, watch out for this and be part of a great journey into trance and techno music!

Wippenberg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you tore the curtains down
I hardly seem to miss them
Since you tossed them to the ground
And I tried to resist, I just cannot exist without your love
You're offering me assistance
For a mind that's spinning 'round
And I try to be strong, I just cannot go on without your love
Embrace me, let me feel you everywhere
And when you face me, I see heaven in your smile
Now that look in your eyes and the sound of your sighs
Will make my life worthwhile
Embrace me
Just like a dream that's never ending
I'm so happy to give in
There's no need to complain
รขโฌ~Cause it's all just in vain without your love
A broken heart in need of mending
And a game that both of us will win
Don't you take it away
'Cause I really can't play without your love
Embrace me, run your fingers through my hair
Embrace me, let me feel you everywhere
And when you face me, I see heaven in your smile
Now that look in your eyes and the sound of your sighs
Will make my life worthwhile
Embrace me
Make me understand
Let me hold your hand
This is how it's planed
Let me feel you oh
Everywhere
Embrace me, run your fingers through my hair
Embrace me, let me feel you everywhere
And when you face me, I see heaven in your smile
Now that look in your eyes and the sound of your sighs
Will make my life worthwhile
Embrace me
