Berlin based drummer and DJ

About Me

I’m a Berlin based musician and DJ. Over the years I played drums for different artists and bands. Now I’m playing in a great band called "Mondo Fumatore": new record will be out in april ’08!
From 1992 (until we split up in 1998) I was a member of Bielefeld located band "Hip Young Things" - a pretty cool german indierock band. ;-)
We toured a lot and released records on "Glitterhouse" (Europe) and on "Enemy" and "Flydaddy" in the USA.
In 2000 I moved to Berlin. Since then I played live shows with
"Pre(e)" , "Julia Hummer", "Jens Friebe", "Kings Of Convenience" and "Supercheap".
I also played drums on recordings for "Julia Hummer" (some were produced and recorded by Moses Schneider, some by Niko Potthoff) and on an remix "Erlend Oye" did for "Kompakt"-artist "Ada".
Together with my friend Billy I’m producing music for art projects, commercials and movies. Check it out: www.workhorsesong.com

Member Since: 1/16/2006
Band Members: Olaf (Oli) Arndt
Influences: When I was a kid one of my first musical influences were "The Beatles" followed by "The Police", "Kiss", "Joe Jackson" and "The Cure". In the late 80s and the 90s I was much into "Independent" music and "Indie Rock" until today probably the kind of music which influenced me the most.

Just to mention a few bands: "The Velvet Underground", "The Stooges", "The Modern Lovers", "The Feelies", "The Go-Betweens", "Hüsker Dü", "Dinosaur Jr.", "My Bloody Valentine", "Wipers", "Sebadoh", "Pavement", "Teenage Fanclub"...

Also Im a big fan of good pop music like "The Beach Boys", "Steely Dan", "Ben Lee", "Ben Kweller", "The High Llamas", Elliott Smith, "Beck", "Phoenix", "Tahiti 80", "Badly Drawn Boy", "Elvis Costello", "Richard Hawley"...

Sounds Like: My drumming:
I would say straight and simple. But when it comes to the point: "Rrrrock"!!! Mo Tucker meets Ringo Starr...

When I dj:
Mostly it rocks! ;-) See influences…
Type of Label: None
