Stadtansichten was produced in collaboration with Mark Reeder and released in the lead-up to Berlin’s Loveparade 1999. The compilation was conceived as both a musical and conceptual response to the city’s transformation at the end of the decade and millennium, where techno, architecture, and mass tourism intersected. In February 1999, we visited the emerging construction sites at Potsdamer Platz. The unfinished high-rises and the early structure of the Sony Center formed a surreal skyline – monumental, synthetic, and unresolved. It was in this setting that the idea for Stadtansichten took form: an album oriented toward the Loveparade audience, but defined by the raw city itself.
