Electric Universe / Jupiter 8000 Germany
The Electric Universe project was started when Micky
Dressler and Boris Blen first worked out some tunes in 1991. So,
the Solar Energy maxi was created to be the second release of the
Spirit Zone Record label founded by the famous goahead DJ Antaro in
Hamburg. Everybody have been happily surprised about the big success
of this single… The "One Love" album and the Online Information maxi
followed. Online Information became a big hit especially in the
eastern part of Europe because of its "Eastern style" harmonics.
Meanwhile Micky decided to study Multimedia subjects in Berlin. The
Electric Universe story continued with the "Stardiver" album in
1997. After producing a lot of typical psychedelic stuff, their
style went into a more "Techno influenced direction". The first
result was the "Waves" album in 1998. After this one the "Blue
Planet" album was released in spring 1999. "Blue Planet" is a
mixture of all the different styles Boris Blen went through in all
the years. It contains also the Guitar track "Meteor" he produced
together with the guitarist Roland "Chico" Wedig. Since this
production, Roland is playing with Boris live, too. Also, Boris
always enjoyed working with DJ Sangeet, with whom he produced the
Endora EP - Joy on Matsuri, some Electric Universe stuff for the
Star Diver album 1997 and "The Quest" which is on Sangeet's first
solo album "Earth - Liquid" which is released end 1999 on Free Form
Records.
Other projects: beside Electric Universe, there always
have been a few other projects Boris have been working on. The first
was "Paradise Connection", with one album and two singles on High
Society Records. Then, there have been two singles on Polytox Rec.
for "The Rainbow Spirit" project.
The project "Jupiter 8000" was founded in the summer 1999 with the first album on Nova Tekk "Liquid
Audio". In 1996, Boris Blen was getting more and more into
ambient music, too. The first result was "The Galaxy-Angel" album, a
collection of floating electro beats to chill out. It has been
released on the Blue Room label in Londonin 1998. The second Galaxy
album is "Solar Synthesis", finished in summer 1999. The release
date was early 2000.
