FULL CONTACT
is the name of our drumandbass crew...
members are ..ego., node, madsonic and zest
when we startet back in 1999 the scene in innsbruck was dead...
nowhere to go to listen to our favourite music...
so there was only one solution: "do it yourself!"...
we started to run smaller, nearly private parties in different locations...
after 2 years we decided, to start a regular club-night...
in the beginning we were glad,
when 50 people showed up...
but we had a dream: we wanted to be able to invite those dj's and producers,
that inspired us so much during the past years. we were laughing when we thought about booking teebee,
krust or dom and roland... it was just so far away...
for us it's a wonderful thing, how full contact developed!!!
we had krust, teebee, kemal, domandroland, red one, black sun empire, d.kay,
aphrodite, cativo, a-sides, alley cat, hazard, paradox
and many more in our small town!!!
thats more we have ever expected...
full contact homepage - check!
some impressions:
TODESSTERN ("my" live-act)
is a live project containing ..ego., f.inger and maggo bug.
it's all about two decks, one drumset and an ugly screaming frontman!!!!
it's a mixture between drumandbass, metal and hardcore
TODESSTERN has played a lot of shows in Austria with bands such as
KEELHAUL, FROM ASHES RICE, NITRO MAHALIA, HEADFAKE...
f.inger the inhuman beatbox and machinist of the todesstern ;-)
drill-instructor maggo bug of todesstern teaches the rave-toys a lesson in senseless violence
and gives them a very good advice:
"march loyal, stormtroopers" ;-)
lord ..ego. figures out a new masterplan to dominate the world and to realize the victory
of the darkside of drumandbass!

SUB and ..ego. ("my" production duo)
sub and ..ego. are both long-time dj's in austrias d+b scene.
after a while they decided not just to play their favourite music...
so the step to producing was the closest...
and the best thing: it's fun!!!!!!!!!!!!
