ENNE - CHAMELEONIC
 By searchin´ for a concise description in favour this guy, we found the word „chameleonic“, which means very versatile. Its not easy to categorize this artist and he won´t get pigeonhole to something.
The first musical experience in front of an audience he had around 1977 (age 14) with dj performances at a sunday afternoon teadance and saturday evening youth party at a local dancing school at his hometown innsbruck.
Hereupon he started to play drums in a local rockband. Till summer 1983 while clubbing at the garda lake area in Italy, where he was hit by the afro-funky-cosmic disco sound, a really revelation. He quit drumming and started his DJ career at hometown Innsbruck - Austria as resident at the legendary Galaxy Club. The music at the Galaxy was similar like the Cosmic and Typhoon Discotheque, a wildstyle mixture of: jazz, funk, fusion, german electronics, dub, spacy disco & brazilian stuff. At this time the tracks were not quantisized at all and the mixingconsoles didnt have any gadgets, effects and equalizer like nowadays and mixing records was a real challenge, but for a skilled drummer quite easy.
End of the 80s he bought his first sampleplayer and computer, a Casio FZ1 and an Atari ST4, to geht some more experience in music production. But there schould be pass by  more than one decade till his first record, a whitelabel 4track ep.
In the last 10 years he released a lot of own tracks and remixes for labels like: Bikini rec. Compost, Permanent Vacation, Tirk, Nang, Jalapeno just to mention a few.
In addition a bulk of tracks had been licenced for Compilations as: Brazilectro, FM4 Soundselection, Timewrp inc. etc...
The album "The Groove Collage" in cooperation with ed royal came out in March 2007.
Tired to use mostly sample libaries, he expand his musician skills with a private piano education. And now, 3 years after it´s time for the next strike!
CHAMELEONIC the first solo album of enne shows all the differend facets of his electronic & organic music influences that he had in the last 30 years.
From spatial & dubby downtempo above groovie midtempo up to zippy electronic & disco.
All tracks, arrangements and a good portion of instruments plus some lyrics and vocals  has been written and performed by the chameleonic guy Enne!

MECANICA POPULAR - BAKU 1922

Mecanica Popular was founded in 1980, by Luis Delgado and Eugenio Muñoz. They were both sound technicians and worked together at RCA Studios in Madrid back in the days. The album „Baku: 1922“ which was originally released in 1987 was a great follow up to their debut release „Que Sucede Con El Tiempo?“ from 1984. It contains revised versions of the previous released tracks „La Edad Del Bronze“ and „Daguerrotipo“. The album title refers to the monumental concert from 1922 in the capital of Azerbaijan.
„Baku: 1922“ is a legendary industrial record from these two spanish electronic experimentalists. Great mechanic rythmic workouts and weird atmospheres all over.
In the beginning of 2010 they will also come up with a new album called „Neguentropia“ released by Warner Music.
