[edit] Biography
After releasing a handful of 12" releases on smaller Labels in germany and been hearlded a favourite on John Peel's radio show since 1994, Christoph later signed to DHR in 1996, and then later released his only album for the label, If You Are Into It, I'm Out Of It in 1997. The album was heavily received and gained a lot positive reviews, but due the lack of bold image that Christoph had, the album itself was not considered as been as heavy as most of the releases on DHR, as it delved into 15 minute long noise music soundscapes and Ambient, as most artists on the label where combinding elements of punk with distorted breakbeats, which would later mutate into the term Breakcore. Like most artists on DHR, Christoph later left the label sometime after his Seven Up EP, and is now continuing releases on smaller US and German labels.
