Da Hool

Frank Tomiczek: DJ Hooligan aka Da Hool – one of the main guarantors for the publication of the“techno-underground” at the end of the 1980s.At this year a new club culture was born and would become an inherent part of the music world. All this makeshim an important catalyst of theunforgettable electronic avant-garde and Techno Generation / Rave Nation.
His maxi-single “Harder and Deeper” (No Respect Rec.) that he published under his alter ego DJ Hooliganbecame the en vogue song in theclubs between Berlin and Frankfurt par excellence. The former football fan committed himself completely to thevery young but still growingtechno-movement. The youth culture became more and more important and the track “B.O.T.T.R.O.P” – whichis the name of his hometown –became his passport to fame. The youth rebelled against the antiquated parental views with mass rallies likeMayday where 20.000 raversdance till morning. DJ Hooligan became one of the most important production precursors in Continental Europeand was celebrated as“Underground Hero”.
During the following years, Hooligan toured through all the hip clubs and raves throughout the world andproduced remixes for some artists andprojects of the time (e.g. Tom Novy, Genlog, Marusha, Storm). He produced his own projects, as for example“La Rocca”, “Central Love”,“Hool’s Experience” and “An Active Trip”, for labels like Frankfurt Beat, Logic Records, Music Man Belgium,Important Records, etc. In 1994 hesigned his first Major-deal at East- West Records. His first single “Rave Nation” reached ..16 on the officialGerman Charts and was sold over200.000 times.
In 1996 the Major rejected his fourth single “Meet Her at the Loveparade”. Without further ado he started hisown business Hool-Productions aswell as his label B-Sides, where projects like “Da Hool” or “Central Bass” (together with J..rgen Pluta) emerged.This is what enabled him tobring to market his own single. “Meet Her at the Loveparade” hit it big and would become an acousticmanifesto of an upcoming mainstreamyouth culture. From now on DJ Hooligan would call himself Da Hool; he remained autochthonal, a DJ in greatdemand and famous all aroundthe world.
Thanks to his international reputation, he travelled all five Continents and played music in the best locations.Although Da Hool is a big star, hestill visits the small clubs to keep in touch with the scene.
Da Hool has done a good job with his remixes – in 2003 his “Da Hool Remix” of the house-hit “The FunkPhenomena” reached ..1 on theGerman Dance Charts, got on the Media-Control-Charts and was the most popular track of the year in the UK.Moreover, he published histribal-track “Sip by Sip” as Hool pres. Freakstylaz at the New York nr. 1 house-label Sondos/Subliminal. At the beginning of the 21st century, Da Hool is a distinguished producer at labels as e.g Kosmo, Silly Spider,Subliminal, Ministry Of Sound,Hooj Choons and Toolroomtrax. From this follows that Hool is not only part of the german DJ’s elite, but alsoenjoys great popularity anywhereelse. Under his own name Frank Tomiczek he released “The Cheek Of It” in 2006 at the Ruhr neighbours ofPunx, the label of Moguai.
His many-sidedness and his awareness of the changes that come with the time are the key facts for hissuccess. The year 2007 will also be aflourishing one: he will create a powerful album that will contain the sounds of the VIP’s of the scene. Insummer 2007 the first single-extractionwill follow – an homage to The Doors’ “Light My Fire” (Pias).
