biography

Klaus Munzert sang in various bands , studied economics in Freiburg and worked in a record store for two years. After jobs in various record companies , e.g. B. as a label manager for ZTT Records and Island Records , where he u. a. U2 , he created Silicon Dream in 1987 in a Munich studio. The typical sound , a mixture of electronic music and Italo Disco , was created, often late at night, through the use of samplers (e.g. EMU 3). Inspiration came from role models such as Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode , but also from Frankie Goes to Hollywood , OFF and 16 BIT .

Because he had fun dressing up, the big fan of Marcello Mastroianni appeared in a “Marcello” costume. The two dancers Angelo and Danny completed the picture. There were some live performances on a tour through Germany and Belgium, but also with 16 BIT in France . Munzert himself described the Silicon Dream Sound as "dance music with lyrics", but in retrospect the terms Europop and Eurodance prevailed. In the following years, Klaus Munzert also produced artists such as Guillermo Marchena , Dolls United , Otto Waalkes , Hape Kerkeling , Full Speed , K2 , Jürgen von der Lippe and Daniel Küblböck .
