Berlin-based duo Booka Shade, aka Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier, have carved out a reputation as one of the most celebrated electronic acts to come out of Europe over the past two decades. 

With their beginnings in Frankfurt and their sights originally on synth-pop, the duo Booka Shade quickly gained a strong following within electronic music, and in 2002 the pairing formed the now legendary dance label Get Physical Music (together with M.A.N.D.Y., Thomas ‘DJ T.’ Koch and Peter Hayo), where they would have a platform for their own music. 

Three years later, in 2005, their EP’s ‘Mandarine EP’ and ‘Body Language’ - the latter co-produced with M.A.N.D.Y. - launched Booka Shade into the stratosphere with both EPs becoming international successes, whilst the following years soon welcomed an extensive body of work featuring a combination of stand out albums and singles that quickly achieved further global success.

Since their break-through performance at Sónar in 2005, Booka Shade have earned huge recognition with their innovative live shows, even being named one of Resident Advisor's Top 5 live acts in the world in 2010. They have opened for legendary acts such as Depeche Mode and Kraftwerk, whilst headlining stages at the likes of Coachella, Glastonbury, Rock Werchter, and Red Rocks just to name a few. In recent years, the band has appeared amongst the likes of DJ Mag’s ‘Alternative Top 100 DJ List’ (2018), whilst their notable live sets have led to key mentions amongst a host of distinguished festival reviews and round-ups, including placement within DJ Mag’s ’10 Unforgettable Sets From The History Of Exit Festival’.

Booka Shade were also inducted into Pete Tong's BBC Radio 1 Hall of Fame, having received strong support from the station throughout their careers, playing at both the ‘40 Years of Radio 1’ celebration with Annie Nightingale and the ‘20 Years of Essential Mix’ party, whilst also mixing Pete Tong’s ‘All Gone Ibiza’ compilation album. 

The duo’s fan base is in no way restricted to electronic music enthusiasts, with great success playing slots at the Montreux Jazz Festival, Lollapalooza, and more by utilising their massive crossover potential, which is as evident in their billings as it is in their remix credits, including acts like Depeche Mode, Moby, Hot Chip, Kings of Leon, Woodkid, The Knife and many more.

Add to the mix their Blaufield Music imprint, founded in 2013, and it’s clear and easy to see the pairing's musical knowledge not only as producers but also adept A&R’s, with releases to date on the imprint from both emerging and established talent alongside their own productions resulting in a string of releases and collaborations that can be regularly found amongst the upper end of Beatport’s Top 100 charts and championed by many of the industry’s biggest names.

Twenty years, dozens of EP’s and six albums later, Booka Shade have become more than a household name, they have become synonymous with the spirit which drives electronic music and have set a precedent to which electronic music is still held to today.

With two acclaimed albums including 2020's ‘Polyphony’ on Renaissance the Fur Coat sound can be heard on the likes of Balance, Last Night On Earth, Just This, Systematic, Watergate, Crosstown Rebels and of course Øddity Records - the label that Sergio Muñoz (Fur Coat) founded in 2017. On the remix front his takes on the music of Stephan Bodzin, Eli & Fur, Röyksopp, Sasha and WhoMadeWho…along with highly prized Fur Coat originals all see heavy rotation of his music from the likes of Pryda, Tale Of Us, Adriatique, Mind Against, Kölsch, Solmun and many more.

On the DJ front Fur Coat sets are all about creating a journey for the listener founded on melody creativity and taking his audience through a range of emotions - something evident in recorded sets for BBC Radio 1’s legendary Essential Mix and mix CD for the iconic Balance Presents series. Based in Barcelona, Fur Coat can be seen live every weekend at Europe's best clubs and events like Extrema Outdoor, WeCanDance, DGTL, Fabric, Watergate, Rex Club, Hive and Pacha.

Constantly looking for new music to present in his DJ sets or release on Øddity, Fur Coat strives to innovate and explore - pushing his personal musical vision and that of his label forwards. The Fur Coat sound keeps evolving, never standing still as Sergio sets aim for new high points and goals in a career he’s truly passionate about. This exciting path has led to Fur Coat’s recent live performance with a 20 piece orchestra at unique event space Gashouder. A major career high point with many more to follow in a journey that never stands still, full of excitement and endless possibilities.
