Andi Teichmann, originally from Regensburg / Germany, were exposed to music by his father, the jazz saxophonist Ullrich Teichmann, right from the early days. At the young age of 9 he and his brother formed their first band Totalschaden (Write-off). During their teenage years they matured to be leading figures in the regional music scene and later became founding members of the band Beige GT which would grow to national and international fame after their debut album Jukebox heroes. As electronic music producers they founded their own record label Festplatten and also release on such internationally acclaimed labels as Kompakt (Cologne) or Lage dor (Hamburg). They quickly found themselves becoming DJs in-demand and toured Germany and Europe extensively. In 2001 they also started a cooperation with the composer/zither player Leopold Hurt. In 2002 the city of Regensburg awarded the Teichmann brothers with the culture price of the year for their long lasting contributions to and activities for the youth culture of city. They became the youngest award winners in the history of Regensburg. In the same year they joined up with fellow musicians and performing artists to found an art association called Graz e.V, which created not only an inspiring work space but also an independent room for regular exhibitions, symposiums, concerts and other cultural events. The brothers now live and work in Berlin. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License and may also be available under the GNU FDL.
