When in September 2002 Rasc, Gun and Krischan decided
to form Rotersand, they weren''t newcomers any more.
Each of them could look back on a rich musical
past of their own. Joining forced in "Rotersand",
they eventually began to create their own concept of
electronic music: invigorating and contemplative, contemporary
yet timeless.
Right from the start the band developed
remarkable momentum and depth, both on the dance floors
and in their fans' living rooms. Originating
from very different musical backgrounds, they combined
and even multiplied their talents into a signature
sound, featuring electronic sound aesthetics with brute
beats and classic songwriting with intelligent lyrics.
From their first E.P. "Merging Oceans on",
released in Spring 2003, Rasc, Gun and Krischan, received
worldwide attention. For several months the band occupied
top rankings in Europe's alternative Charts and
the title track "Merging Oceans" went
on heavy rotation in clubs and on radio and internet
stations around the world. A few months later their
first album "Truth is fanatic" hit like a
bomb and virtually overnight established the band
within the German Electro-scene. Their second album "Welcome
to Goodbye" stayed on
Number 1 in the DAC charts for 8 conscutive weeks and
gained "Rotersand " recocnition
all over Europe and in the US. The third album "1023"
- named after a hotel room in Detroit - impressively
showcased the musicians' bandwidth and unhindered drive
to experiment, while over the years their live shows
grew into intoxicating events.
Now, after three successful albums and countless live
concerts, "Rotersand" has established its
unmistakable musical profile: a unique
mélange
of Industrial, Techno, Pop and even Classical elements,
that clearly mirror the different personalities, backgrounds
and artistic approaches of each band member.
