Dance or Die
Dance or Die is a German electronic body music formation founded in 1989 by Andreas Goldacker ( ANGO ) and Gerry Wagner ( Wagner ) in Berlin .
history
The first mini-album by Dance or Die was also the first release by the Berlin label Machinery . The track Dance or Die , with the bombastic organ sound, became one of the most frequently played club songs in the relevant EBM scene in Berlin, Frankfurt, Hanover and Sweden. In 1997 they signed a contract with Polydor , but after just one album ( Dehumanizer ) they parted ways. The dark electro sound was too different from the more enthusiastic and life-affirming gesture of the music of the Polydor label What's Up ?! .
On Dehumanizer - besides the founding members ANGO and Wagner - Falgalas (who has been working with the band since 1993) and Norri belonged to the band. In 2001 their album Schlafende Energie (now as a trio with ANGO, Wagner and Falgalas) was released by Synthetic Symphony . After ten years, in June 2011, the sixth studio album Nostradamnation was released.
Others
Dance or Die are part of the media project Clan of Nihil .
