Kai Tracid

Kai Tracid, given birth to Kai Franz in 1972, comes from Europe’s trance capital Frankfurt am Primary (Tracid is, actually, a mixture of the two terms trance and acidity). Armed with model appears as well an excellent hearing for both underground and industrial noises, he was playing at a few of Germany’s best venues — such as for example Frankfurt’s Dorian Grey nightclub — just a few years after getting started within the record-spinning business. Tracid started the assault around the dance picture with his very own music within the middle-’90s. His initial major achievement was the one “Your Own Actuality” (1997), which managed to get completely in to the German dance Best 30. It had been after that that he captured the eye of German disco and pop manufacturer Frank Farian — the person well-known, and infamous, for such works as Boney M. and Milli Vanilli. Focusing on tasks for Farian provided Tracid the chance to develop his very own studio room. During 1998-1999, he developed the top membership tune “Water Skies” as well as the well-received Skywalker EP. At a comparable period, he was launching other popular music under different monikers — such as for example “Just the Solid” and “Waveshaper” (beneath the name K.), “The Spice” (Arrakis), and “Vater Unser” (Der Verfall).
