Bernd’s music relationship begins in February 1986, when he founded together with two friends a band called DATA with clear synthpop influences from bands like Camouflage or Depeche mode and where Bernd was in charge of composing most of the songs. the band worked very well and was growing in success but at some point in 1989 the band broke up

During those same years he studied at the Music College Berlin (1986-87) and at the Hanns Eisler Music Academy (voice and piano ) , graduating in 1992, the year in which he started his career as a producer and founded Turbobeat together with Ingo Politz. After a few successes putting songs on the charts, with A Neverending Dream by X-Perience they would reach the first gold record, but that would only be the first of many other awards.

The hits and the awards would continue and in 2002 Ingo and Bernd founded Valicon Producer forum, together with André Buchmann, better known as Brix. The idea of calling it “forum” is because the three of them maintain a flexible working system in which anyone can take care of any part of the music according to the needs of each job, but also because the idea was to form a circle of collaborations between producers, artists and companies, which has made Valicon one of the best rated production studios in Germany.

Since then, the successes keep coming for Bernd and company with the productions of bands like Angelzoom, Eisblume, Faun, Silbermond, Benjamin Richter, The Dark Tennor, Patty Gurdy… The list is getting longer and longer

Bernd not only produces music for bands, he also produces other types of audiovisual work, such as music for films, commercials or audio books and after all this, Bernd still finds time to create his own musical projects such as Interstellaro or IBIZA SKY Beach Bar 29.

Ingo Politz took piano and drums lessons at Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler Berlin and attended several music schools. In 1983 he graduated in the Hanns Eisler Music Academy. He started in the music business playing as a drummer🥁 in the band Keks, later he would be in other groups like Neumis Rock Circus or Datzu. Since 1989 he has been working as a sound engineer in a studio. Two years later Bernd Wendlandt joined him and they founded Turbobeat.

His works entered the charts since the beginning 💪 with Wiebke Schröder they reached the 70th position in 1992 and with Sandmann’s Dummies they reached the 16th position in 1995. This made our favorite trio seek them out to produce their songs 😋 X-Perience was labeled as a eurodance band, but among their musical influences, there was also that 80’s style from bands like Depeche Mode or Camouflage, something that Ingo and Bernd had known first hand in their own bands 😎 so they knew very well what to do and the success of the single “A Neverending Dream” and the album “Magic Fields” is something we have already talked about.

Turbobeat continued to reap great success with bands like “Bell, Book and Candle” and many more would follow, but that’s another story we’ll expand on another day 😅

Returning to X-Perience, the Politz/Wendlandt duo was also in charge of the production of the second album, however, although they had worked on several songs for the third album, few of their versions were ever released. Only “The Meaning of Life” on the album and “Because the Night” on the single “Am I Right”.

To talk about Axel Breitung, is to talk about eurodance and success. He is internationally famous for producing DJ Bobo and Groove Coverage. Breitung, who had achieved his first big successes in the 80’s with the band “Silent Circle”, had already achieved dozens of gold and plantino awards when he started working with X-Perience on the third album.

The sound of the third album was a stylistic revolution for X-Perience, an album with songs full of instruments closer to folk music, like violins and flutes or drums and electric bass more typical of pop/rock and where pianos and guitars end up filling the gaps, leaving no room for the synths that had created the sound of X-Perience in the first two albums.

Perhaps because of Breitung’s own Eurodance style or because his productions were the earliest, it’s in the songs produced by him, where we find the sound link between the second album “Take Me Home” and the Ethno-Pop of “Journey Of Life”

Axel Breitung returned to music a couple of years ago, after a few years of retirement. Although he has now left production to focus on songwriting. In 2018 and 2019 more than 30 of his songs were published.

Daniel La Peur – The man behind the mask

Daniel La Peur is not a name – it is a concept. An artist who does not want to be seen, but heard and felt. He wears a mask, not to hide, but to be free. Free from superficiality. Free from the pressure to sell a face instead of telling a story.

His story began when he first entered a youth centre at the age of twelve: fog, lights, bass – and a DJ who got a whole crowd moving with just sound. That moment was the trigger. Fascination turned into passion, curiosity into obsession. Soon Daniel built his own turntable, DJed, experimented. The Roland MC-303 was his first step from DJing to creating. Then came more machines, more timbres – and finally the decision that music would become his language, even though he never learned to read music.

Trance, gothic, house, soulful sounds – Daniel explored them all, deconstructed them and put them back together again. Today, he combines them into something of his own: a mixture of synthpop, 80s influences, playful modern sounds and electronic depth. Not a trendy sound, but a signature style. “I want music that tells a story. Not just something that starts and ends – but grows, breathes, builds, dissolves. Music needs time to be felt.”

Behind every piece is an emotion: fear, loneliness, loss, but also hope and strength. Daniel has been struggling with depression and anxiety disorders for years – but his music is his outlet, his escape, his antidote. Each track becomes a translation of his thoughts into frequencies.

And the mask? – It is a symbol. Protection. Expression. A promise that his world is not about the face behind the music, but about the heart in the music.

Artist Statement – “I wear a mask so that you can really see me. Not my face, but what lives inside me. I create music that is born out of fear – but is transformed into sound until it shines.”

Artistic vision – Daniel La Peur combines the emotional depth of the 80s with the energy of modern electronic music. His tracks are stories – built from light, darkness and a touch of playfulness.
