Up next in our podcast series is Thomas Fehlmann, the Swiss-born, Berlin-based producer, composer, and electronic dance music pioneer.
After a meeting with Conrad Schnitzler at the Art Academy in Hamburg in 1979, Fehlmann swapped art for music and joined forces with Holger Hiller to co-found vanguard post-punk, electro-pop band Palais Schaumburg, freely connecting disparate extremes as they threw art, disco, minimalism, schmalz, jazz, and funk into the cooking pot. It was during these formative years that Fehlmann began his artistic relationship with Moritz Von Oswald; after the band disbanded in 1984, they started to work as a production team and founded the legendary 3MB with the inclusion of Juan Atkins and Eddie Fowlkes. Together they released three albums on Tresor, with Fehlmann eventually joining in the club's rotation in 1995 as a resident of Gudrun Gut's seminal Ocean Club weekly residency.
Fehlmann also quickly found his feet as a solo producer, sharing his early experimental and ambient works as Ready Made. In 1988, he founded Teutonic Beats as a platform to release Detroit-influenced dance tracks, before making acquaintances with Alex Paterson, mastermind of the then-nascent The Orb project. Working collaboratively under this alias, Fehlmann and Paterson established themselves as pioneers of ambient house and wrote their own chapter in electronic dance music history, reaching their momentary climax with their Chill out World! COW album.
As a solo artist, Fehlmann has released six solo albums, with his seventh, titled Los Lagos, scheduled for September release via Kompakt. The eight-track long-player will be Fehlmann's fourth for the Cologne-based label and his first since 2010's Gute Luft. We're told that it finds him "on fabulous form, embracing chance and exploration with vibrant results." Along with the album announcement, Fehlmann also confirmed that he will be winding down his role in The Orb. “It was time to take a turn, follow my heart and head
