He also worked with Klaus Löschner .

In 1993 Eckart met his partner Inga Humpe , with whom he first produced a song for the advertising of the cigarette manufacturer Cabinet . For this they used the project name 2raumwohnung , which later became the official name of the duo. From 2001 to 2013 Eckart and his partner published a total of seven albums with predominantly German-language electro pop , of which 36 Grad from 2007 was the most successful. 2raumwohnung has been awarded a gold record three times , the duo has sold a total of over 700,000 records.
