In 2002 Eduard Hartter, Richard Rotfuß aka Richard Liapin and Markus Liefke aka Liefko founded Afrilounge. With this, the three friendly djs and producers established a solid basis in order to bundle their creative energy and to share their predelection for electronic music.
After two years of common producing in the studio, they contributed their first track, The Dude, to the Full Body Workout compilation of Berlin`s Label GetPhysicalMusic. In 2005 a cooperation with Patrick Chardronnet led to their first own EP Phonix and the compilation track Just for a little peek, both appearing on Steve Bug´s PokerFlat Recordings. Furthermore they remixed MANDY`s successful clubhit Body Language for Get Physical Music and where also represented on Full Body Workout 2 with another track. 2006 was a mindblowing year for Afrilounge since the release of the Pin & Fko EP on Alexander Flitsch`s new founded label Connaisseur Recordings gained massive attention in the club scene. Afrilounge`s Visionary Remix for Nick Curly`s Another Tearjerker on 8Bit Records hit the closing ceremony of this years Love Parade in Berlin like a bomb.
From Minimal to Techno, but always funky and groovy. Afrilounge is not afraid to get in touch with various styles of music. Besides long nights in the studio they have been touring the inter-
national club scene, leaving behind musical traces in such notable clubs like Tresor and Watergate (Berlin), Ultraschall (Munich), M1 (Stuttgart), Loft (Ludwigshaven), Raum (Barcelona) and Supermarket (Zurich), only to name a few.
