Manager of the mighty Shitkatapult label, DJ, promoter, and producer of extraordinary electronic music - Daniel Meteo is a man of many vocations, all of which he follows with the heart and passion of a true music lover.
Daniel Meteo hails from the West German industrial town of Essen, but has been living in Berlin for the past 15 years, where he quickly became an integral part of the city's booming electronic music scene. In 2000 he founded his
Meteosound imprint, dedicated to diverse explorations of electronic dub sounds. He further started the project
Bus, together with
Tom Thiel of legendary ambient outfit
Sun Electric.
The fruitful collaboration yielded two albums for Pole's
~scape label, a perfect outlet for the pair's abstract hip-hop and downbeat productions. In 2006 Meteo released his debut solo-full length, '
Peruments', a dubbed out masterpiece, crossing over low-slung grooves with influences from deep house and minimal techno.
Hooking up with Apparat and T.Raumschmiere, Daniel Meteo united the three labels
Shitkatapult,
Musick and
Meteosound under the umbrella of Random Noize Musick, for which he took over label management duties. This did not keep him from producing music however, and numerous EPs for
Karaoke Kalk and Meteosound were followed by his acclaimed second album, '
Working Class', released on Shitkatapult at the end of 2009.
