The Beginnings of Masterboy and Brooklyn Bounce
Hamburg has long been a center for musical innovation, and it is from this historic city that the electrifying duo behind Brooklyn Bounce emerged. Producers, remixers, and DJs Matthias 'Double M' Menck and Dennis Bohn are the cornerstone of the support team that brought us the throbbing beats of Brooklyn Bounce. The partnership between the two started in the summer of 1995 and propelled a series of hit singles and albums that continues to resonate in dance clubs worldwide.
Matthias 'Double M' Menck: The Studio Savant
Matthias Menck's deep understanding of sound engineering forms the technical backbone of Brooklyn Bounce's productions. Operating out of his own studio in Hamburg, Menck brings a sharp ear and a craftsman's precision to both the creation and playing of dance music. His work as a resident DJ in Hamburg's top clubs like Kontor showcases his capability to blend production with live performance, attracting collaborations with esteemed names in house music.
Dennis Bohn: Rhythmic Roots and House Evolution
Dennis Bohn's musical journey began behind the drums, but it was the pulsating world of dance and house music that captured his heart. A transition from light jockey to DJ saw him become a fixture in Hamburg's club scene, particularly known for his vibrant sets at Traxx and Roxx clubs.
Chart-Topping Productions and Remixes
After their fateful meeting led to the formation of "Mental Madness Productions", Matthias and Dennis went on to produce 'Singin' In My Mind' for Boyz R Us, which soared up the charts. Their creative output didn't stop there: Mola Adebisi's 'Shake That Body' and a slew of remixes for famous acts like Scooter and George Krantz embellished their reputation. Moreover, their original tracks for the celebrated compilation 'Progressive Attack' have helped shape the sound of an era.
Brooklyn Bounce's Rapid Ascent
Their single 'The Theme (Of Progressive Attack)' transcended the 'Progressive Attack' compilation and led to widespread acclaim in the German Dance Charts. Following up with 'Get Ready to Bounce' and their debut album 'The Beginning', Brooklyn Bounce's success story was written in sold records and enthusiastic club-goers.
Continuing the Legacy
Brooklyn Bounce has never been constrained to one medium. Their work spans high-budget music videos, extensive club tours, and ever-evolving tracks that draw from and contribute to the rich tapestry of electronic music. With a diverse range of singles and albums released over the years, they have reached audiences far beyond their Hamburg origin.
Bringing the Beat to Global Audiences
Performers like 'Demon' Damon and go-go dancers Ulrica and Maeva bring Brooklyn Bounce's music to life during live shows and have helped the brand cement its global appeal.
Legacy and Future of Dance Music
The journey that started at Traxx in Hamburg shows no signs of slowing down. With new albums like 'Bass, Beats & Melody' and singles continuing to drop, Masterboy's legacy lives on.
