Chemnitz City is not really the hub of the world with all its industrial fallow land but it seems that the city is again and again having enough agars to bear unique music. Producer and liveact Markus Harzdorf alias Queaver is one of the best examples. It was the end of 2001 when the Karl-Marx-Stadt born Markus joined forces with his well- known musical partner Versis for a producer & liveact duo after a long jam session: Queaver & Versis was born. The first official appearance as a liveact happened at Alter Bahnhof Halsbrücke in april 2002. More gigs took place in that year among others at legendary Club Achtermai Chemnitz. The ultimate breakthrough for Queaver & Versis came with their co-operation with Carsten Rechenberger & Recall 8 and the thereby associated first release on Miditonal Records in 2004. The second release was signed in March followed by appearances on Miditonal 003-005, 007, 008 and 010. Besides that Q&V tracks were definitive responsible for the success of Kugelbox Records which hit national and international record stores in 2005. Tracks on Pure Rhythm and Error Records and remixes for Cannibal Cooking Club lead to productions for the British „Wonky“ Labels Shed Records and Coin Operated. Versis withdrawal from music business due to private and career reasons in late 2007 was a harsh relapse and ended in a magnificent final show at Sonne Mond Sterne Festival 08. Full of zest for action Queaver keeps the typical QV-sound alive enlarged with analog synthesizers and 8-bit sounds coming from the classic paddle game boy. Constant increasing requests from Germany and Europe is an outlook for upcoming output and live shows.
