•Jim Backhaus DJ Jim Backhaus has been shoring up the depths of the post-kraut underground at the Kosmische Club since the mid 1990s, from kosmische music to underground NDW to the mysterious 'motorik'. He has been described by The Wire, no less, as "a vital presence as a live and radio DJ for more than a decade".
Backhaus also makes and occasionally releases music under the name Xylitol,
which has been compared to "Der Plan if they came from Sheffield and made music for school science programmes" (Beyond The Implode RIP) which is the highest accolade he can humanly imagine.
•Marcelo Madrid was born in a Guatemalan orphanage. It was hard times but he
eventually clawed his way out and moved to Cuba where he started DJ'ing hot
Lounge muzik for all the hip cats. However the Castro regime deemed it too
subversive, so he had to be smuggled over to Chile along with an illegal
consignment of cotton buds. It was in Chile that Marcelo Madrid found his
niche; slicked back hair and badly made cocktails were all the rage and he
soon became the toast of Santiago.
It was during his stint at the infamous Chingada club that he was exposed to
Krautrock, Avant-Retard, Psychedelia and Muzik by bands such as The
Residents, You've got Foetus on your breath, Faust, and The Monks. This
forced yet another move, to London, where he spent what could have been a
lifetime busking for small change playing a Kazoo and spoons.
It was during this vexing period that he met Carlos Slazenger, a Horror Rock
'n' Roll afficionado that frequented the Kosmische Klub; a place for
Krautniks and Post-Punkers. Carlos could see elements of systemic muzik in
Madrid's mastery of the spoons and thought that the Kosmische Klub would be
the right place for Marcelo's unique talents. Unfortunately the Leader of
Kosmische was a fearsome and distrustful character, and it took Marcelo a
long time to work his way into the Kosmische ranks. Many initiation
ceremonies involving egg and spoon racing, taco cook offs, and early '80's
style robot dancing ensued; and eventually he was one of them, a Kosmonaut.
The rest, as they say, is history.
His first set at the club was December 2001 with the elusive Carlos
Slazenger, and his first set on resonance fm was in July 2002. If only there
had been less of the Kosmische DJ's on rotation, then he would really get
the hang of the radio thang.*
*In his spare time, Marcelo Madrid can be found performing daredevil acts
such as wearing loose fitting jeans and adidas trainers in London's east
end, and refusing to wear a scarf in summertime.*
