Exclusive mix for Modeselektor take over Electronic Beats, 2011-10
Phon.o - The boy got more than 50 weapons

The boy with the dot in his name and the dubby background, started to play records with Apparat in the early 90s in the ruff'n'tuff Harz mountains, in the former East Germany. In 1994 he got some turntables and used all is free time to practise in his hidden secret cottage. Three years later he moved either to Berlin. After a while he started to create his own music, but it took several years untill he dropped his first release on Cytrax (Kit Clayton and Dj Jasper's itchy, noisy, dubby Californian techno label) where he subsequently released an EP and a full length CD. Phon.o was then recruited by T.raumschmiere, who conviced him to join his team "Shitkatapult". There his music was increasingly processed and schizophrenic, injected with shards of vocal samples and obscure sounds taken from hip hop, dub, baltimore, house, dubstep and techno. With his live and DJ-sets he toured through Europe, Asia, America – back and forth. He released his full length masterpiece - which moved from eurocrunk to techno over booty hiphop and dancehall-grime.

Chris De Luca and Phon.o joined forces in spring 2006. Since then, they’ve been rocking clubs and festivals all over Europe with their ass-kicking sets as CLP. This unconventional combination of intergalactic hip hop, ghetto beats, sexy booty IDM and dirty techno goes beyond typical genre boundaries. In 2008 the results of CLP's collaboration was released as the EP 'Ready Or Not' on Boysnoize Rec. including remixes by Diplo and Mixhell and as an eclectic, genre blending Hip Hop album called Supercontinental on Shitkatapult. In 2009 the boys did not take a rest while worldwide touring and kept on releasing. They came up with their heavy EP Homecourt / Dip Shorty on Shitkatapult, the remix EP Strictly Confidential on Sugarcane Rec, a bunch of remixes and collabos with on the edge music software companies Ableton and Native Instruments.

With the beginning of the new decade Phon.o got back on track and started working on new songs and remixes for Modeselektor, Boys Noize, Schlachthofbronx, Juli, Leg-No&Emma and Robot Koch. He also became a resident DJ for Berlins well known Club - WMF. In 2011 Phon.o has new releases on Modeselektor's label 50weapons/Monkeytown.
