Mess:
Mess isn't actually out of Rosenheim where he is living right now, but out of Munich where he was born in 1980. And if you're lucky you can find him there even today, aimlessly roaming the streets, pondering about the meaning of life (good luck finding it...) and his university studies. When he started making music in 1994, possibilities were limited and MOD-Songs were the latest rage. Fortunately, that era has been left behind and Mess went on to get in touch with WAV-composing programs (Music Maker... yuk) and the blessings of MIDI music. In the year 2000, the time had finally come to join Scam Records, a small record label right in the heart of Bavaria, where he released several songs covering every style possible. In 2003, Tom asked him for musical assistance in his latest project, in order to pimp up the arrangements with some juicy vocals. Steffi Spezial was born. And Mess has been searching for the juicy vocals ever since...
Tom:
Tom was born in Rosenheim in the year of 1979. While cramming for exams at school, he also found the time to get in touch with the mysteries of making music. His first "real" music setup was nothing but a Soundblaster Live! and a Korg DS-8 synthesizer. After most of his instruments started to gather a serious amount of dust, he decided that they had to be replaced by less cumbersome machines: Software synthesizers. And this is how he has been producing ever since. He even tried DJing for a few times, but he found out pretty soon that this wasn't exactly his cup of tea. He preferred avoiding the full glare of publicity. Which is exactly why he teamed up with Mess he met during his time at Scam Records where he released several hit singles under the pseudonym "Alan Smithee". Good luck, guys!
