Superpitcher grew up in the south of Germany, alone and lonely. He
started to collect music at 16, seduced by the soft sounds of Prefab
Sprout, Scritti Politti, and Roxy Music. A decade later he found
himself working in the distribution department of KOMPAKT and found new
heroes – Wolfgang Voigt, Chain Reaction, Joerg Burger and Air Liquide –
men that linked his sonic youth and adult aspirations. Following the
release of his landmark 2001 single, “Heroin” he gave up work, deciding
to forge a new nocturnal lifestyle, increasing his DJing, steadied his
socializing and worked on perfecting his studio production skills –
nothing less than engulfing electronic pop and shimmering, glimmering
techno. Today, Superpitcher has managed to accumulate a lovely
discography of diversity including his unforgettable version of Brian
Eno’s “Baby’s On Fire”, the acclaimed full length “Here Comes Love”,
the adored mix CD “Today” and remixes for many including Dntel, Quarks,
M83 and DJ Hell. Now, together with Michael Mayer as Supermayer, he has
no reason to ever feel alone again – they’ve had a phenomenal year
following their breakthrough debut “Save The World” and remixing the
likes of Rufus Wainwright, Hot Chip, Foals, and others just in 2008.
Superpitcher keeps on a constant touring schedule having recently
finished a summer of festival live performances as SUPERMAYER and is
currently preparing recording his second studio album to be released in
fall 2009.
