Hartchef was founded in 2003 by two house music lovers from Cologne Erk Richter and Holger Schneider, as well as the artist
Audio Werner and newcomer
Frank West to provide a home for their definition of house music. Many fine releases have seen the light of day since then including records by
Jichael Mackson,
Ralph Sliwinski and
Guillaume & the Coutu Dumonts.
