Artist Bio:

Mathias Schaffhäuser has been on the techno, house and minimal scene since 1994, when his first EP was released on Definitive Records - and has been known for his wide stylistic range ever since. 
His 10th solo album “Singing About It” was released on October 11, 2024 with, yes, lots of vocals and more song-oriented tracks than on any of his other longplayers. Call it Indie Pop, Art Pop, or, like Angie Portmann, radio maker at “Late Nite Sounds” proposed: Cosmic art pop. And, of course, still with house and techno genes in all tracks.
And the next album is already out: Mathias' project FANATICO X, which he runs together with Jorge Socarrás (Indoor Life / Compost Rec., Patrick Cowley und Jorge Socarrás / macro rec.), released its third LP on Oct 10, 2025. The first single, “Still Searching" received great feedback from Justin Strauss: „Listening to it I’m imagining the record that Bryan Ferry and Patrick Cowley never made, but sounding totally modern and now.“ And Dark Entries label maker Josh Cheon wrote: „One of my absolute favorite Indoor Life songs gets a modern reworking that is perfect for any fog-filled dance floor, while Mathias Schaffhäuser's remix ups the tempo and NRG for dark room pursuits.”

2023 marks the 25th anniversary of the founding of his label WARE Records. To celebrate this incredible number, the EP “25 Years Of Ware” was released in June with 4 new tracks by the label maker. In November 23, another special EP was released with a vocal version of one of Mathias' classics, the song “6 Uhr morgens”, which first appeared on his debut album “Lido Hotel” on Force Tracks Records in 1999. The new version comes in several mixes and with an atmospheric remix by Pawas. The EP is Schaffhäuser's second release on the Canadian label Suleiman Records.

His 9th solo album “Biotopical” was released in 2022. It combines tracks released on Biotop Records between 2015 and 2020 as an “endless mix”, similar to what Schaffhäuser did on his third album “From 4 to 6 a.m.” on Blaou Sounds in 2002 - again with subtle creative changes, transitions and overdubs. Two EPs were also released in 2022, one by Mathias' project FANATICO X called “On The Brink, Vol. 2” with remixes by Indoor Man, Chocolate Garage Prod., Ryan Crosson and Made From Shadows. And the solo EP “Magnificent Madness”, his debut on Suleiman Records.

Back in the days:
Other releases from Mathias have appeared on Compost, Tic Tac Toe Rec., Kompakt, Force Inc., Mo's Ferry Productions, Multicolor, BluFin Records, Adjunct, WIR Recordings, Blaou Sounds and many others. In 1997 he started WARE, releasing 102 EPs until today. His album „Lido Hotel“ with the well known track „Nice To Meet You“, released in 2000, marked his breakthrough in the techno scene. 2001 saw his massive club hit „Hey Little Girl“, and in 2002 „Musik ohne Bass“ permeated the clubs. In April 2005 he released his album „Coincidance“, its title track successfully remixed by Trentemøller. On his album „Unequal Equality“ (2009) Mathias collaborated with Lucy, Alex Smoke, Xhin, And.id, Benjamin Brunn and many others. He also produced remixes for Steve Bug (LoverBoy), Luomo (Tessio), Pan-Pot, German Kraut Rock legend Faust, [A]pendics.Shuffle, Goldfrapp, Indoor Life, Northern Lite, Dapayk & Padberg – to name a few.

As DJ, Schaffhäuser’s motto at the turntables is: “Purism sucks!” The quality of the music is what’s important, not sheer functionality and trendiness. His sets are usually very varied and range from his very own composition style to underground house to fancy niche techno. More and more Mathias uses his microphone while DJing and sings to his tracks, creating a very special live experience (https://soundcloud.com/mathias-schaffhauser/sets/mixes).

Some Feedbacks to Mathias current album 'Singing About It':

- Thomas Meinecke (book author, musician with F.S.K., radio DJ...)
I'm impressed by the production and the dedicated crooning! Almost a reinvention!
- Michael Reinboth (Compost): 
I think it's good, some good tracks on there.
- Hans Nieswandt: 
I also really like what you've put there.
- DJ Three (Hallucienda Rec.):
All sounding very great!
- Patrick Wagner (Gewalt_Band):
I think “Singing about it” is great. I like the ghostly Bowie-like “I Fall With You” best.

Wonderful album. Great songwriting. Super vocals.

From Berlin to Tunis, Davrik's creativity keeps growing. The melodies inspired by the atmospheres of both cities, which find common ground in their energy and dynamism, are sometimes melancholy, sometimes more ethnic.

Davrik has worked with many artists from different styles. He crossed Berlin's dark backgrounds by mixing and collaborating with artists from Berlin's techno scene and also the more silky funk sides of London with the Imagination band.
Some incursions in the underground hip hop add to its influences the richness of its inspiration.
Getaways in the desert of the Sahara brings him the calm required to retranscribe the emulation and impetuous enthusiasm of the big capitals.
Davrik knows how to play with the antagonisms and oppositions that society imposes on us. He manipulates them until the collision, to raise universal passions.

The video of his upcomming single "Wanna fall down" has been shoot in Berlin, in the desert of the Sahara and in the south of France. It relates this many opositions that build a personn and the world.
