BIOGRAPHIE
Pacou lived in Berlin all his life. Back in 1989 the sounds of House and Techno took off there.
After he finished school, he started some studies at a local university, and at the same time, starting out as a hobby, he became a record collector and went to many now "legendary" parties and club events.
1993 he bought the first little music equipment. Later this was swapped for a more capable set of machines and synthesizers.
3 years on, with some borrowed sampler and mixer, he produced, and then released the first records under the name "agent cooper" (on the label "Raw Music") and "Pacou" (on Tresor Records).
Tresor subsequently offered chances to run a newcomers event together with fellow freelance activists called "Headquarters", a space for experiments and to develop newly growing talent. Soon after, Tresors recordlabel released Pacous first longplay album "Symbolic Language", he became a resident DJ at the club, quit the university and made "research" journey to Detroit and Kalamazoo (USA), which influenced the further productions.
The year 1998 marked a substantial progress in both DJ and production aspects of the work. He started playing DJ sets around Europe, Japan and Australia, and changed over to fulltime work on music and performing as DJ. The main release was the experimental techno style LP "No computer involved" on Tresor.
In september 1998 Pacou founded his own label "LL Records", for release of some of his own material and of some friends.
1999 saw the continuation of work, a 12" single called "A Universal Movement", plus continued travels and showcases around the globe.
Remixes for Ben Sims and Access 58 from UK also done at the time.
Another LP format "State of mind" was released in March 2000, furthermore some vinyl singles on the famous dutch label Djax-Up-Beats. Tour dates again ranged from Rio de Janeiro to Melbourne. In fact travelling became more important- learning about other cultures and climates first hand changes views on life...
Finally this website "www.pacou.com" was started in mid -2000.
Musical projects for 2001 included releases on the German "Konsequent" imprint (album and singles), and the "Music Man", "Djax" record labels...March 2001 saw a promotional tour over Australia.
New plans for 2003 include continued work on his own projects, more remix work for some friendly artists, like Bob Brown (Framework Rec.), Dhyan Moller (Dronemusic) and starting a new music/ performance project with partner Angela Flame.
So far Pacou played in places of more than 20 countries, and so the story will continue...spreading the good vibe.
