Bodenstandig 2000

Bodenstandig 2000 is an electronic music group from Germany, founded in 1995 by Dragan Espenschied and Bernhard Kirsch. They are the self-proclaimed pioneers of the home computer folk music movement.

Bodenstandig 2000 are two german boys who played too much videogames in their former youth. After some failed efforts to get rich by developing and selling a soundtracker-like music software, they simply decided to become popstars. And they quite succeded in it. Aphex Twin in 2002 after a Bodenstandig live gig declared: "Best live gig in 2001!"

Bjork at BBC thanked them formally because with their vocal rave hit 'Säureschnauze' they did have a big influence in the making of her album Medulla.

Bodenstandig 2000 created the definite sound for the generation that was born next to flickering screens.

Because of their outstanding german lyrics, subtle poems telling from their lives as cablefreaks and computer kids, only the brave british label Rephlex Records was able to publish their songs. German labels for electronic music only publish english lyrics, for security reasons.

Although they produce extremely cheap and street credible music, every tune on the debut album "Maxi German Rave Blast Hits 3" (Rephlex Records) was a huge hit: on the dancefloor as much as in the thoughtfull moments of life. Today, the two also publish on other labels like Beige Records/USA.

Due to their natural nerdy attitudes they also became net popstars: they have been defined "the godfathers of chiptunes" and so their internet hit 'In Rock 8 bit' has to be considered responsible for dozens of broken pc speakers. they released their tunes on the cult net-label micromusic.net and also in form of ATARI 16/32 bit disks with YM rockers.

Their freaky live electronic rock shows, "combine a capella singing, furious real time keyboard playing, spastic, ironic Prodigy-style dance moves and a razor sharp ear for the nuances of various hard-pumping electronic dance genres"****, that the unprepared customer could easily find rather contrasting to their minimalistic homecomputer setup.
