Dopplereffekt first came into the public eye in 1995 with a series of low-budget releases on their own Dataphysix Engineering label, melting Detroit techno and Kraftwerk influences with a controversial image that immediately grabbed the public's attention. The true identity of Dopplereffekt was successfully concealed for many years behind German-sounding pseudonyms and rumours of an involvement in
Ectomorph and
Drexciya further added to the Dopplereffekt mystery. Dopplereffekt was eventually signed to
International DJ Gigolo Records, but despite his huge influence on the late 90s Electro revival and Electroclash trend, the group decided to take their sound to a new and more abstract level with the entirely beatless 'Myon-Neutrino / Z-Boson' single and subsequent albums for Gigolo and - most recently - Rephlex. His classic and much sought-after early releases have however been compiled and re-released under the title
Gesamtkunstwerk.
