The Berlin-based duo consisting of Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier, aka Booka Shade, is undoubtedly one of the finest pioneering electronic music acts of the past two decades.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With their beginnings in Frankfurt and their sights originally on synth-pop, the duo quickly gained a strong following. In 2002 Booka Shade formed the now legendary dance label Get Physical Music<\/strong> (together with M.A.N.D.Y., Thomas \u2018DJ T.\u2019 Koch and Peter Hayo<\/strong>), where they would have a platform for their own music.<\/p>\n

Three years later, in 2005, their EP\u2019s \u2018Mandarine EP\u2019<\/em> and \u2018Body Language\u2019<\/em> (the latter co-produced with M.A.N.D.Y.<\/strong>), launched Booka Shade<\/strong> into the stratosphere with both EPs becoming an international success. The duo further solidified their position as electronic maestros with tracks like \u2018In White Rooms\u2019<\/em> and \u2018Night Falls\u2019<\/em>, sending dancefloors into a frenzy the world over.<\/p>\n

Since their break-through performance at S\u00f3nar<\/strong> in 2005, Booka Shade has earned huge recognition with their innovative live shows, even being named one of Resident Advisor’s Top 5 live acts<\/strong> in the world in 2010. They have opened for Depeche Mode<\/strong> and headlined stages at Coachella, Glastonbury, Rock Werchter, and Red Rocks<\/strong> just to name a few.<\/p>\n

Their latest work is the recent unveiling of their \u2018Understanding EP\u2019<\/em><\/a> for John Digweed<\/strong>\u2019s Bedrock<\/strong> imprint (their 2nd EP project for the label) was met with undivided critical acclaim.<\/p>\n

Booka Shade<\/strong> also launched a new Various Artists project titled \u2018FOURTUNE<\/em>S\u2019 on their Blaufield Music<\/strong> imprint this month (19th July), featuring Zoo Brazil, 8Kays, LENny (IT) and A Friend Of Marcus.<\/em> The masterful duo is also finalizing yet more new Booka Shade material that will be released throughout the second half of 2019.
