P&M Album on Sasse's Mood Music - Same Monkeys Different Zoo

Nils Penner and John Muder produced their first 4-Track Demo CD in August 2007.
Produced in the Suol Studios in East-Berlin for fun rather than with a full-blown business plan, Sasse signed 2 tracks of this demo for his Moodmusic imprint.
„Are You Lost“ became Penner+Muders first vinyl 12“ release. It got great reactions from the dj community and the Bside „Millenium Falcon“ was picked by electro-maestro Oliver Huntemann himself for his Mix Compilation „Play 02! Live at Rex / Paris“.
At this time John and Nils made the decision to only play Live sets so the duo could concentrate fully on their own
sound, rather than taking a line at the end of the ever-growing dj list.
The first gig became quite a kick-off. It happened at a Moodmusic showcase at the well-known Panorama Bar in Berlin
late summer 2008 and the feedback was none less than stellar. One good thing lead to another and gigs happened at
Watergate, Berlin and Baalsaal, Hamburg with more planned for the spring/summer 2010.
Release-wise the guys kept it slow and focussed on quality than quantity. Working from two cities (Hamburg and Berlin)
with rather short studio-time it almost took one year before the second EP „No Nose Knows“ hit the stores. Meanwhile
the duo has also remixed for Moodmusic, Oliver Koletzki´s XXX label and Suol.
Their current single, entitled „Another EP“, is in the pipe on the new imprint Wazi Wazi, which is already gaining support
and respect from the critics like De-Bug Magazine.
Wazi Wazi is Nils personal label side-project (with Sasse) besides workin with John and handling a graphic design
business he is living on. Johns passion is music based and he is working nonstop with his partner in crime Chi-Thien
Nguyen aka Chopstick and their successfull new homebase „Suol“.
Pretty much right after the release of „Are You Lost“ Sasse asked the guys if they were up for a full-length album on
Moodmusic and guess what: they were. Working on the album happened over the last two years, pending between
Hamburg and Berlin, and came to an end by the end of 2009. „Same Monkeys Different Zoo“ is scheduled for June
2010.
The first single taken from the album, entitled „Speak Your Mind“, was produced together with Roman Fritz from
Plasmik. Remixes will come from japanese Pokerflat artist Ryo Murakami and Get Physical signing Siopis.
At this point Nils and John are really looking forward to the Album release and to play some hot and dirty Album-Tour
Live gigs.
