| Biography |
1988 it makes plopp and for the F4-Vorgaenger terminal team from Stuggietown goes into action. 1989 follow on a "asking one celebration" the Debut appearance under the name "the Fantasti four" - thus the first German-language HipHop act is born and brings a little fresh wind into the otherwise quite boring music landscape Teutoniens. 1991 pulls those young the interest of a Sony A&Rs at that time on itself, which quotes young promptly to Frankfurt into the firm center. Together with manager bear, a somewhat older friend and owner of disk shop, are gefeilscht concretely around publications. The single "caretaker Thomas D" and the album comes out "geht's now off", which are played both rather for amusing in the radio. The four with the Chartbreaker become correctly famous "there!?!" from the ' 9èr album "four wins". The hit, linear like a schoolyard passport, opens the entrance to the mass media: Even Dieter Thomas's tail applauds paternal and BRAVO can with volume Intima help. Despite the overwhelming success, which the troop brings in, one is of that does not end to wanting dte never sieges heavily gene FFS. The Meute would have at that time however suspected, what with difficulty bekoemmlichen sound-mixes its heroes behind thick Stuttgart Studiotueren produced, would not probably be confessed it not each morning before it. "the fourth dimension" becomes the necessary metamorphosis - away the Hip Hop act with thoughtful and sophisticated texts, recognized by the BRAVO favourites to. Fans and critics are rather confused, too surprising and bulkily take place the new F4-Weg. S.M.U.D.O., Deejot own brand, Thomas's D and And.Ypsilon however cannot be confused by the protest shouting. Until today they draw their compromiseless style despite the Sellout twaddle from the Underground and meeting with hostility on the part of the competition (hello Doedelheim!) consistently through. Last therefore they do not stand in the Reim Prime Minister League unquestioned at the point. Under all German HipHoppern they belong to the few, which developed their own unmistakable profile. 1997 provide Thomas's D with its album "solo one" and the single uncoupling "tail wind" for attention, a half year later follow own brand with the debut "world-wide". But also different projects like the mechanism of their own studios or the establishment of label of FourMusic hold the four from common work. Only four years after "listening poison" in April the single "Mfg" and then finally also a new Studioalbum with the obvious title appears to 1999: "4:99". To a successful tour, with the director Dieter Carpenter already material for the 2001 appearing F4-Film "which goes" turned, comes briefly before the celebration to the ten-year volume existence the honour through MTV: as the first German HipHop act and to Herbert Groenemeyer come the Fantas to the honour to take up a Unplugged session for Clipsender. The whole rises in a cave in the sour country, where one brings a rather relaxtes album in with power saw, reed rattles and Percussions. Altogether 22 musicians are used in the cave Ambiente, which is usually used by jazz and classical period musicians. The pertinent Unplugged album reaches gold status from the conditions (over 150.000 sold units). Still another DVD with two Songs not shown the session, an additional camera and further Schnickschnack appears later. The year 2001 is located again completely in the indication of the solo sport: Thomas's D falcon returns, the album by the way produced And.Ypsilon as reflector, and Deejot mutates Thomilla with partner to the House project Turntablerocker. Its album "Classic" becomes in the course of the Hitsingles "NO Melody" and "A Little radio" likewise the hit. In the autumn 2002 the duo already publishes the second Turntablerocker album "Smile". When the language comes 2003 again on a new F4-Album, the four decide young to come oneself by a tour mutually again more near. Immediately the idea is born to send the successful Unplugged session from the Balver cave on journeys - including that about twenty Begleitmusiker. The new interpretations of fan highlights like "Schizophren" or classical authors as "now geht's off" and "day at the sea" experience rejoicing towers omitted everywhere. Of the Stuttgart home play gibt's the memory clay/tone carrier "Live in Stuttgart", two CDs with nearly 120 minutes play time in the fine Digipack. 2004, which MTV Unplugged album is meanwhile also with platinum decorated, the four also the work on the sixth Studioalbum locked. At the end of June appears the Vorabsingle "Troy". Director Zoran Bihac, which already turned "MfG", has responsibility for the new costume tie-clip. The album "much" appears in September. New Songs presents the natives of stuttgart already on various summer Festivals live, end of the yearly follows the resounding route. |
