BIOGRAPHIE
Originally from east germany, patrick pulsinger grew up in Styria, Austria.
After attending the school for electric engineering, which he left after 4 years, he worked as a hairdresser and moved to vienna in 1988.
That was the time when some dudes stored their music equipment in his sleepingroom and he got a chance to play around at night.
After washing and cutting hair each day, he spent his free time in smelly practice rooms where he played drums in the infamous band "the sheeps left”. More or less....
When patrick pulsinger met erdem tunakan in 1991, he owned an old atari and a tape machine.
Introduced by Abuse Industries co-founder constantin peyfuss, he packed his stuff in a trainingbag and headed for erdem`s bedroom studio.
In a 2 days session they recorded all the material of their first album.
"b.Low-3.11-eyewittness news on subfusion fm” was released on Abuse Industries and was sold out in a couple of days.
In 1992 he decided to move to new york for a while to work as dj and producer.
He got a job at nyc`s most famous "limelight” and worked as a producer for the technolabel "vortex”.
Good time to make some contacts and the project "3M” was formed together with helmut wolfgruber.
Patrick had a hard time selling his own tracks to the labels in new york, because the clubsound at that time reached a point where 'harder and faster' was the deal.
Back in vienna erdem and patrick decided that it was time to take their fate in their own hands.
Cheap records was born in 1993.
Patrick pulsinger took part in projekts like:
Sluts`n `strings&909, Io, love the machines, restaurant tracks, showroom recordings, private lightning six, ....
Besides his work for cheap he also released on other international recordlables like:
Disko b, mo wax, m-plant, form and funktion, and many more....
In 1999 tunakan and pulsinger had a big success with the a remixwork for the viennese volksoper.
The "swanlake remixed” dance performance opened up a new audience for this rather dusty house and was sold out during one and a half years.
The cd was released on the own imprint of the volksoper. (check: www.mdos.at)
