Wolfgang Voigt, born in 1961 in Cologne, Germany, is an artist, music producer, label owner and one of the co-founders of the Cologne-based electronica and techno label Kompakt.

Working under many different project names and pseudonyms (e.g. Mike Ink, Studio1, M:I:5, GAS, Love Inc., Freiland, Wassermann…), Wolfgang Voigt has continuously varied his own, unmistakable music style from the onset of the 1990s, spanning the spectrum from creating experimental and unusual hybrids by combining elements of techno with German Schlager and folk music, to pioneering, austere minimalistic concept techno series such as Studio1, a series that was limited to 10 vinyl releases, the cover of each bearing a plain color design without any text.

Wolfgang Voigt, 1961 in Köln geboren, ist Künstler, Musikproduzent, Labelmacher und Mitbegründer des Kölner Elektronik- und Technolabels Kompakt.

Unter etlichen Projektnamen und Pseudonymen (Mike Ink, Studio1, M:I:5, GAS, Love Inc., Freiland, Wassermann,...) hat Wolfgang Voigt seit den frühen 90ern seinen eigenen, unverkennbaren Musikstil immer weiter variiert. Dabei gehören eigenwillige Kreuzungen aus Techno und Schlager- oder Volksmusikanleihen, ebenso zu seinem experimentellen Repertoire, wie stilprägende, formstreng minimalistische Konzepttechno Reihen wie Studio1 - eine auf zehn Vinyl Veröffentlichungen beschränkte Serie, deren grafische Covergestaltung sich ganz ohne Text, nur durch Farben unterscheidet.

Bio 
Fakear's electronic collages are inspired by influences as divergent but inspiring as the post-dubstep scene in London, and the films of Miyazaki. 
Having established a fervent fanbase in his native France, Fakear has gifted his globally-tuned dance music to an even larger audience after dates supporting Bonobo and ODESZA across the US and Canada. He’s made waves in the UK as well, garnering deserved notice from a consistently attention-catching figure herself—M.I.A.— who tapped the young phenom to produce tracks on her latest record and asked him to perform at her Meltdown Festival in London. His last record "Talisman" sees him tap in his old influences, but with the experience and techniques of his 10ish years experience in music producing.
