Phon.o (de)

The boy with the dot in his name and the dubby background started to play records with his buddy Apparat in the early 90s. In 1998 he started to create his own music and emerged in the spring of 2000 with his first release on Cytrax. Phon.o then found himself misled, used and abused by the notorious big rock'n'roll swindler, T.raumschmiere, who connives him into joining his gang Shitkatapult. He releases his new, dirty full length masterpiece, which goes from eurocrunk over techno to booty hiphop and dancehall-grime, Burn Down The Town on Shitkatapult and Tigerbeat6 in 2005. In 2006 Phon.o joined forces with Chris De Luca to create an unconventional combination of intergalactic hip hop, ghetto beats, sexy booty IDM and dirty techno as CLP. In 2008 the results of CLPs dirty collabo saw light as the EP Ready Or Not on Boysnoize Rec. and as an eclectic, genre blending Hip-Hop album Supercontinental on Shitkatapult. In 2009 they came up with their heavy EP Homecourt / Dip Shorty on Shitkatapult and the remix EP Strictly Confidential on Sugarcane Rec.
With the beginning of the new decade, Phon.o got back on his track and started working on new tracks. He also became a resident DJ for Berlins best Club - the WMF. This year will see Phon.o releasing new material on Modeselektor's label 50weapons / Monkeytown.
