Blessed on Apr 7, 1967, within the Wilhelmsburg region of Hamburg, Alex Christensen broke in to the dance music picture in 1991 with “Das Shoe,” a Euro-dance version of Klaus Doldinger’s theme melody from the traditional 1981 film of the same name. Billed to U96 — a mention of the film’s subject matter, Unterseeboot 96, a submarine used in the Atlantic Sea through the Second Globe Battle — “Das Shoe” became an enormous membership anthem in Germany, heading completely to number 1. Though often linked exclusively with Christensen, U96 had been technically an organization work, with Ingo Hauss, Hayo Panarinfo, and Helmut Hoinkis also gaining songwriting and creation credit. A full-length U96 record, Das Shoe (1992), premiered within the wake from the chart-topping name monitor. Follow-up singles in the record included “I Wanna Be considered a Kennedy,” “Arrive 2Gether,” and “Ambient Underworld,” the to begin which became a high Five hit as the others fared much less well. Another album, Replugged, implemented in 1993, plus a few accompanying TOP singles, “Like Sees No Color” and “Night time in Movement.” U96 continued to be active through the entire remainder from the 10 years, scoring a few more major strikes (“Love Religious beliefs,” “Heaven” — both Best Fives), but dropped out favor using the golf club picture and battled to rival their preliminary achievement with “Das Shoe.” In the mean time, Christensen began focusing on an increasing number of part tasks, including dance productions for Rollergirl (“Dear Jessie,” 1999; NOW I AM Singin’…as well as the Party Helps to keep on Rollin’, 2000) and collaborations with maker Peter Könemann as JV.

He debuted with “Tempo of the night time” in 2002, accompanied by “Amigos Forever” and “Angel Forever.” Offering vocalist Yasmin K. and released by Epic, the singles became Best 40 strikes. Christensen after that reunited with Hayo Panarinfo, Helmut Hoinkis, and Ingo Hauss as U96 for any one-off solitary, “We Contact It Like,” in 2003, nonetheless it dropped flat available on the market. Also during this time period period he created dance songs for Some Course (aka ATC) and Best Stated Fred (previously of “I’m As well Sexy” popularity). He also resurrected the U96 moniker just as before in 2006 for the round of pretty unsuccessful singles (“Mr. DJ Placed on the Crimson Light,” “Vorbei”) and an associated album, Away from Wilhelmsburg (2007). Following frosty reception for his most recent incarnation of U96, Christensen came back to his Alex C. moniker in 2007 for the amusingly entitled one “Du Hast den Schönsten Arsch der Welt” (in British, “YOU MIGHT HAVE the World’s Many Gorgeous Ass”). Featuring vocalist Yasmin K. (today billed as Yass) and co-written by regular collaborator Peter Könemann, “Du Hast den Schönsten Arsch der Welt” became a astonishing chart-topper, Christensen’s initial number one one since “Das Shoe” in 1991.
