Uwe Schmidt

b. 1968, Frankfurt, Germany. Together with fellow German experimentalist Pete Namlook, Schmidt is among the most prolific composers in contemporary electronica, releasing a huge selection of recordings under a number of aliases. He began producing music in 1991 and within 3 years got released over 60 different information on a number of brands, including Pod, Increasing High Information, Delirium, After 6am, US Instinct and FAX. Among his biggest early music had been ‘I’m A Secretary’ on FAX, ‘Mihon’ by Ongaku, and ‘Elektronikkaa’ by Red Elm and Atom Center on Rising Large. His early function dabbled in techno and acidity house, before an extremely effective association with Namlook’s Frankfurt-based FAX label noticed him getting into trance and ambient before going into the external reaches of modern electronica with an astounding array of produces by himself Rather Interesting label. Many of these produces were limited by a 1000-duplicate pressing, sometimes much less, although many recordings have already been certified to American and UK brands. The aliases under which Schmidt’s function has appeared consist of: Lassigue Bendthaus, i, Urban Primitivism, Datacide and Experts Of Psychedelic Atmosphere (with Tetsu Inoue), Atomu’ Shinzo, Couer Atomique, Lisa Carbon, Softcore, the Bitniks, Flextone, Dots, VSVN, Aerial Assistance Area, Experts Of Psychedelic Atmosphere, Silver precious metal Sound, Mono™, Atom™, as well as the Roger Tubesound Outfit. After shifting to Santiago, Chile in 1996, Schmidt documented some bizarre Latin albums beneath the Señor Coconut moniker. Atom Center, the name Schmidt most regularly uses, was selected because he was, and continues to be, thinking about the mix of the psychological and the mechanised/technical.
