It was in the year 1997 that a young,
up-and-coming producer in Frankfurt developed a new formula
for successful dance productions: Acid as an underground element
mixed with Trance as the popular element resulted in a new
blend as the basis for successful future dance productions.
Kai TRACID was born.
Since 1997 a number of top placings in the German Dance
Charts (DDC) have made Kai Tracid familiar to an audience
that includes more than just observers of the scene. With
"Life Is Too Short" he even managed to break into
the TOP 10 of the German media control single charts in November
2001. His second studio album "TRANCE & ACID"
is now due for release. In addition to the recent hits "Life
Is Too Short" and "Too Many Times", Kai Tracid
also presents a number of brand-new tracks.
Kai Tracid is a producer who attaches a lot of significance
to the content of his work and its message. This is a somewhat
more unusual approach in the techno scene. Thanks to his consistent
recipe for success "challenging texts coupled with
high-quality studio productions" he soon won the respect
of many in the music industry. Thus, Frank Farian, for instance,
has also made use of the talents of Kai Tracid, and VIVA nominated
him for the VIVA-Comet in 1998.
He started in a small way with second-hand "home equipment"
and had to fight hard to assert himself against the more complex
technology of his "established rivals" in the industry.
Successfully! In his Eternia studio he too now has complex,
state-of-the-art technology, alongside a few old analogue
synthesisers however. But what really counts, says Kai, is
"a love of music, a feeling for new musical trends and,
above all, remaining true to oneself."
Three years ago he also founded his own label "Tracid
Traxxx", which without having to exaggerate is now
one of the top vinyl labels in Germany.
Despite the vast amount of time spent in the studio on productions,
Kai Tracid has never lost touch with his ever-growing fan
community. And that's why he never misses the opportunity
to get the crowds going virtually every weekend in some of
the hottest and coolest clubs worldwide.
In Kai Tracid Germany has a further protagonist of electronic
music with the desire, talent and charisma to charm an audience
of millions that goes far beyond the borders of Germany.
