| *** Vienna's GD Luxxe, aka Gerhard Potuznik, has been creating music since the early '80s. His recording career began in 1988 with a release on Gig Records (home of Falco). Later he joined forces with Patrick Pulsinger to release a string of popular 12-inches on the influential Cheap label. His reputation outside Vienna grew quickly and he began collaborating with like-minded artists. By the mid-'90s he'd become producer and member of arty techno-punks Chicks on Speed. In 1998 Potuznik founded the Angelika Koehlermann label (which has gone on to release over tweny albums of low-fi pop and wild-style electronic music.) Potuznik collaborated with Electronicat, one of the label's first signings, and released a remix album featuring Adult, The Hacker, Kid606, Dat Politics, and Original Hamster. 1999 saw the release of Submission on DMX Krew's Breakin' Records and GD Luxxe was born. Widely acclaimed releases followed on renowned indie electronic labels such as Suction, Interdimensional Transmissions, MEGO and Detroit's Ersatz Audio. A release for Tigerbeat6 had also been in the works for quite some time. Now, after pulling remix duty on several releases, his TB6 debut is finally here! Inspired by a wide range of musical periods, from early '80s Wire and Gang of Four, to '90s Detroit electro, Make mixes post-punk memories with visionary electronica. Nearly all the tracks on Make were originally composed and recorded with guitar and vocals, then reworked and reshaped until a new form of timeless electronic guitar music was born. 30-second MP3 excerpts: Hands
