Turn up the volume and look how time bends before your eyes because that is what Robyn Schulkowsky and Andi and Hannes Teichmann do with their music. They bend time. They make a ring out of it or some sort of ellipse, and then they pull it straight again, they transform it into a rope, and then, of course, they balance on it, forwards, backwards, half speed, double speed, 33 rounds per minute, or was it 45? Just try both. World percussion meets techno and Berlin club culture, one might be tempted to say. One would be wrong to do so. This is not just crossover, this is just not an "encounter" between different generations, different experiences, different cultures, traditions and attitudes and form associations of expressions, or, to put it in a more simple way, an "encounter" between drums and gongs and bells and stones and on the other side hardware-electronic and sequencing, delay and reverb. This is far more complex. No need to put a label on it." --Roland Schimmelpfennig (excerpt).

Iterationen ("Iterations") is a musical experiment that juggled artistic processes. How does music resonate through other music? What happens when the game of Chinese Whispers meets a dynamic feedback loop? In a live concert in Berlin, Ensemble Extrakte -- a trans-traditional ensemble led by Sandeep Bhagwati that unites musical folk, jazz, and art music traditions from India, Korea, Syria, China, Bulgaria, Armenia, the US, and Europe -- plays to music in their headphones: they interpret pioneering techno and electronic tracks put on by Berlin-based Brothers Teichmann (or Gebrüder Teichmann). But definitely not in the sense of "Beatles go Classic": they do not simply echo the melodies and harmonies, rather, inspired by the energy and playfulness of the tracks, they improvise a resonant response, transforming and filtering the electronic sound they hear through their traditional instruments and musical expressions. The DJ and electronic music duo Gebrüder Teichmann then feed this concert recording into their electronic laboratory, using their electronic ears, their instruments machines, and computers to discover a new layer of resonant responses. They reverse, enhance, re-compose the improvisations of the Extrakte musicians, finding new connections in their sounds. Iterationen is an ongoing project, a creative love affair between traditional and electronic music making -- this album is the second step. All compositions and improvisations: Ensemble Extrakte; Working scores: Sandeep Bhagwati; Remixes, edits and reinterpretations: Gebrüder Teichmann.
In 2014, Ensemble Extrakte and Gebrüder Teichmann met for intense listening of a personal selection of early electronic club music in preparation for their concert "Iterations". The idea was to carefully discover the mechanisms how this music works and translate them into playing techniques for the ensemble. During the performance at Radialsystem V on November 14, 2014 in Berlin, the ensemble played a live-interpretation of a "Silent DJ-Mix" by Gebrüder Teichmann, that only the musicians could hear in their headphones. The concert also included a section with flexible multiple metronomes by Sandeep Bhagwati and a section with samples from the Klangarchiv of the Ethnologische Museum Berlin, processed by Gebrüder Teichmann. The two-track recording of this concert was then edited, reinterpreted and remixed by Gebrüder Teichmann at their studio and put back into a new format: the CD Iterationen - Resonant Responses To A Live-Concert, carefully muffled with a beautiful designed cover by Brenda Alamilia and containing a 24-page booklet which includes a conversation by Sandeep Bhagwati, along with Andi and Hannes Teichmann.

DJ Raph is an electronic musician, producer, and DJ from Nairobi, Kenya. He is an outstanding figure in the growing Kenyan underground electronic scene. His debut album Sacred Groves is a rare gem of a record; considered, emotional, and contagious. DJ Raph builds rich, textured electronic music from pan-African ethnographic field recordings. Sacred Groves opens up a timeless musical universe, that is both ancient and futuristic; a deep mélange of modern electronic bass music, African chants, and traditional rhythms. This is essential dance music. It is fundamentally not kitsch or clichéd. What makes DJ Raph's approach unique within the abundant production of African electronic music is a keen interest in the meanings and contexts of the original field recordings. Sacred Groves emerges from weeks of research in the extensive music archive of the Iwalewahaus (Bayreuth). The music, rhythms, and chants which he builds from are not just to expand his sound palette; his work is a considered homage to the traditions which he borrows from. The archive is revered rather not researched. The respect that DJ Raph, a Nairobi-based producer, has for a broad African cultural heritage is deeply visceral and palpable in this music. Long samples allow the field recordings to breathe, to open up an innovative and vital electronic soundscape. Sacred Groves is simultaneously traditional, contemporary, and deeply sacred. All music was produced by Raphael Kariuki in Nairobi, Kenya and Bayreuth, Germany. All ethnographic recordings used on this record are part of the UNESCO World Heritage with friendly support of Klassik Center, Kassel. Additional mixing by Hannes Teichmann. Mastered by Mike Grinser at Manmade Mastering, Berlin.

Gebrüder Teichmann's third album, Lost On Earth, merges transcultural collaborations and electronic music between 90 and 130bpm. The album was recorded in a multitude of cities and countries including Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, Mexico, Nigeria, Kenya, and Germany and features guest artists Abe Duque (NYC), MC Psychotek (Bulawayo), Wura Samba (Lagos), Santiago Rodrigues and Signal Deluxe (Mexico City), Sasha Perera (Berlin), Max Turner (Noland) and the Kibera based art collective Maasai Mbili. Crafted by jams and recording sessions round the globe, Lost On Earth captures the essence of a rough, pure, and direct mix, highlighting club, hip-hop, African influenced, and deep tracks. Brothers Andi and Hannes Teichmann, aka Gebrüder Teichmann, are electronic musicians, DJs, and cultural activists, and have been rooted in Berlin's techno underground and DIY-culture since the late nineties. The duo have performed at Berlin's premiere clubs including Berghain/Panorama Bar, WMF, Watergate, Bar25, and have hosted regular nights at Suicide Circus Berlin since 2009. Over the years the brothers have collaborated with numerous artists across a variety of genres. Collaborations have included hip hop, contemporary, traditional, and experimental music with collaborators including Ensemble Modern, Decoder Ensemble, Embryo, Joachim Irmler and Gudrun Gut, Foremost Poets, rRoxymore, Teknotika, Jahcoozi and Modeselektor, and their father, multi-instrumentalist Ulrich Teichmann. Andi and Hannes have put together several projects in cooperation with the Goethe-Institute, like Ten-Cities, BLNRB & Soundcamps in Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Mexico, and established the intercultural electro ensembles Karachi Files (Pakistan/Europe), BLNRB (Nairobi/Berlin), and Mondmaschine (Mexican/Central America/Europe). With their label Noland they are compressing this diversity. Their musical activities, from DJing, giving workshops, and playing live sets, have taken them to over 60 countries as far as Afghanistan, Honduras, Sibiria, and Angola. Home in Berlin, they've been curating several festivals, such as the "From Inside To Way Out" at HAU Hebbel Am Ufer, the African Music Convention 2014, and parts of the Worldtronics Festival at Haus der Kulturen der Welt. Lost On Earth marks the first proper studio album Gebrüder Teichmann since 2011's They Made Us Do It (FEST 042CD).

In May 2015, an assortment of electronic musicians from Pakistan, the Maldives and Germany followed the footsteps of brothers Hannes and Andi Teichmann, otherwise known as Gebrüder Teichmann, the Forever South crew and the Goethe-Institut to meet in Karachi; Pakistan's industrial capital, harbored on the Arabian Sea. A house was remolded into a temporary recording studio. It would become a place to meet, inspire and be inspired, record, play, eat and sometimes sleep. Musicians, together with a photographer convened, and the outcome of two weeks would transpire into the Karachi Files. Karachi Files, a textural collection of electronic fused works is a melange of different cultures, immersed in a fixed space, of which predestined inspiration was taken from its surroundings. The corpulent body of work harmonizes a balance in the elements, delivering a variety of tracks, from electronic club music to electro acoustic experiments, particularly textured including a few more slow-mo and raw. Following the African European Ten Cities project and it´s album release on Soundway in 2014, Karachi Files will be the first release on the Teichmann brother's new label Noland.
Featuring: Rudoh, Alien Panda Jury, Taprikk Sweezee, Natasha Humera,Arttu,rRoxymore, Ramsha, Dynoman, Menimal, Pablo, Hannes Teichmann, Andi Teichmann and Gebrüder Teichmann.
