TURMSPRINGER
According to the record collection, it is immediately obvious that Robert Galic (Edgar Peng aka RAS) and Tim Bruggemann (Didier de la Boutique) are deeply rooted in Funk & Soul, Jazz and Afrobeat music. In general it is a archive of the whole black music diaspora.Their music taste, their backgrounds and last but not least their individual vinyl collections brought them to stick together as DJ and producer team. They first met behind the decks back in 2001. Attracted by Jazzanova, Robert left London and settled down in Berlin to release his internationally appreciated album "Rhythmic Altered State" as RAS on Sonar Kollektiv, while Tim was already rooted in the colorful Rare Funk scene. Once in the studio, the pair coupled their understanding of Funk, Jazz and modern electronic club music and brought it to a fresh and funky Deep-Tech-House. Turmspringer have been major players on Berlin’s Techno and House circuit since 2004. Their colorful sound and their infectious positive energy behind the decks and instruments, made them swap quickly from an insider tip to one of Berlin’s most wanted DJ and electronic live acts. This high profile made them get in touch with many other creative and productive people, what lead to the founding of an own label. In 2005 Robert Galic started “Tonkind”, an unique platform for producers and acts like Skinnerbox, Agaric, Alexkid and Nico Stojan and many others. Furthermore collaborations with Berlin influential party institutions like Bar25, Katerholzig or Berlin’s underground queen Bachstelzen became agenda fort them.Although Turmspringer play in numerous big clubs in Europe, they always enjoy returning to Berlin's electrifying audience. Here they still attend their unique industrial backyard parties and Berlin’s most wanted after-hours. Releases on Get Physical, Eminor, Doxa, Klasse Recordings and of course Tonkind show their range and talent as producers.
