Profil personnel

I have been making music since I was young and am still active (https://aachunkraach.de/). After a reasonably solid career as a musician, I moved into management (Simon Napier Bell, London), record company work (Kickin Records, London) and founded my own label in Berlin. I have been working in the marketing industry for many years now and still enjoy music very much.

Profil de l'entreprise

CHAMPIONSOUND was founded in 1992 by Frank Otto, who had previously worked for several years as Director of International Exploitation at the cult label Kickin Records (by Peter Harris fame) in London. The breakbeat scene was boiling in London and techno saw the light of day in Berlin. House, Garage, Gabba and many other styles of music emerged. In the post-reunification period, many new large and small clubs such as Tresor, E-Werk and Fischlabor were founded in Berlin. The perfect biotope to try out new music and offer new styles of music to the dance-mad crowd. To call the whole thing just techno would fall short, because different styles quickly emerged. In England it was the rave and in Germany the techno party. It doesn’t matter. The main thing was to dance, party and have fun.
