Björn Ischo
(Hamburg, Germany)

Born 1974, Bjoern Ischo AKA FeldFunker started DJing somewhere around 1992 playing Goth/EBM stuff as the first resident of Hamburg’s infamous goth club, Zillo (later: Tonwerk). After years of a tight DJ schedule for the goth and fetish scenes all over Germany, first experiments as a musician and producer followed around 1998 with industrial projects like T.A.R. 21 (with The Puppeteer on guitars).

It was around 2000 when Bjoern waved goodbye to goth and wave, having grown bored with the attitude of the scene, and since 2004 he started this current project “FeldFunker”. The german word “FeldFunker” actually means radio operators in the army, and reflects the idea that modern electronic music can be seen as a “battlefield” of genres – FeldFunker always had a tendency to combine/integrate various musical styles, often hopping between styles in a seemingly random way.

FeldFunker’s still into DJing as well, though he admits not being an outstanding DJ, which is why he has choosen to usually DJ with friend and Techno-DJ galore Ma-Cell (Vorspiel/ Raveline). Together with him, he also initiated the project Techno4Amnesty, a charitable mini-festival for Amnesty International.

2007 saw the release of the first full length album on Kreislauf, and currently FeldFunker is working hard on improving his skills on the guitar and bass in order to have more ways of expression and incorporate more influences into his music.
