Christian Hilscher and Nico Plagemann hail from the German part of the Baltic Sea, where they have started producing music together in the late 90s. Having moved to Hamburg since, the two founded their own net-label No Response in 2003, followed by Musik Gewinnt Freunde in 2006. Their musical variety of minimal techno has indeed won them a lot of friends in recent years, with their 'Tristesse' having been one of 2007's biggest tracks of the genre.
