Console started as a side project for Martin Gretschmann, lead programmer for the Weilheim indietronica band The Notwist and also known for his recordings as Acid Pauli. His second album 'Rocket In The Pocket' however was signed by indie-major Matador and yielded the club hit '14 Zero Zero', which brought Console a lot of attention. Despite his success in the electro-clash field, he continues to record more experimental music for Disko B and the Notwist label Alien Transistor.
