Paul Kalkbrenner
Paul Kalkbrenner (born 1977 in Leipzig, Germany is a German electronic musician and actor from Berlin. He is best know for the song Sky and Sand, which was a hit in Central Europe.
Paul Kalkbrenner has been creating music since the early nineties. After spending many long and sleepless nights on the dancefloors of E-Werk, Planet and Whale, the dream was born to make music himself. A job as TV editor got him through the mid-90s and financed his first music gear. Kalkbrenner had already decided that he did not want to be a typical DJ playing other people's records, but rather to play only his own music, live in a club setting.
His first tracks as Paul Kalkbrenner were released in 1999 via Berlin-based BPitch Control (the newly founded label from Ellen Allien) as the Friedrichshain EP, titled after his home district in the city's east. Further singles and two full-length recordings followed (Superimpose and Time) plus continuous live performances.
Kalkbrenner's third album Self (2004) would mark the beginning of a new era as he Paul Kalkbrenner and BPitch Control gained momentum. His melodic sound, with its affinity for grand emotional gestures, obeyed the logic of the dancefloor, but "Self" introduced a narrative aesthetic, "Gebrünn Gebrünn", released one year later, became a crossover hit.
