haujobb

haujobb are part of the newest wave of electronic dance acts to come storming out of Europe. Along with such other notables as :wumpscut: and yelworC, haujobb are bringing, if possible, an even newer surge of adrenaline to a genre that already seems pumped to bursting.
 
  haujobb formed as a trio in 1993 in Germany, with B. Junemann being the third member to the current duo of Dejan and Daniel. Their first release was on cassette only, the now hopelessly out of print Drift Wheeler. This embryonic issue brought them to the attention of Off Beat records, who released their first CD, Homes and Gardens, later that same year.

   haujobb's first German tour occurred in 1994, along with the American release of Homes and Gardens and their first single, Eye Over You. In 1995, haujobb attained its current configuration with the departure of B. Junemann. The duo went on to release their second CD, Freeze Frame Reality, and began doing remixes for other bands, including Front Line Assembly and Download. The Frames CD was released, which featured both new material and a number of remixes done by such luminaries as cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy/Download, Adi Newton of Clock DVA, and Mentallo and the Fixer. In the midst of all this activity, a second tour of Germany was successfully launched.
 
  1996 saw the band taking part in The Remix Wars Part 1 - :wumpscut: vs. haujobb, in which each band remixed several tracks from each other's repertoire. It also saw their first full European tour, as well as their debut on America's Metropolis Records, with the highly successful Cleaned Visions single and their drum and bass influenced full length CD, Solutions for a Small Planet. 1997 saw the release of their double EP, Matrix, with one disc of new and remixed electronica material and one disc of samples, while 1998 has seen the release of two side projects, Newt and Cleen; as well as the release of their latest electronica EP, Less.

  1999 marked the release of their latest full length, ninetynine, which will shortly be followed by the ninetynine remixes ep.
