Peter Hoff, who runs the Benztown studios in Stuttgart, joined later, and completed the first Tiefschwarz production team. Their name means \"deep black\" in German, and is a combination of the brothers' surnames, and their love of deep house.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir earliest productions were released on the Continuemusics label in 1997, and their first taste of a well-respected label was with their Music track on François Kevorkian's Wave Music label in 1999. The team released their first album, RAL9005 on the Four Music label in 2001, which was later licensed to Derrick Carter and Luke Solomon's Classic Recordings label. Tiefschwarz continued to release on Classic until its collapse in 2005, as well as releasing on labels such as Fine and International Deejay Gigolos. Many of their tracks have been licensed to compilations, from the Stereo Sushi series, to compilations for Bugged Out!, Get Physical and Renaissance, and in 2006, they released a mix of their own for the Fabric (London) mix series.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir sound is considered, at least by those who have followed them from their Classic days, to have changed somewhat over the last few years. Instead of their original deep, mellow house, Tiefschwarz now represent a gritty and edgy electro house sound, their more recent tracks gaining recognition from the likes of Ivan Smagghe, Touché, Sasha and Danny Howells.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAli and Basti Schwarz have been travelling Europe as DJs since 1995, playing at major events and popular clubs all over Germany and Switzerland, as well as making appearances in Ibiza. They've performed in cities as far afield as Miami, New York, Melbourne, Sydney, Amsterdam, Sarajevo, London, Antwerp and Stockholm.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTiefschwarz have composed remixes for Madonna's Get Together, Missy Elliott's \"Teary Eyed\" and Depeche Mode's single, \"John the Revelator\".\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2007 sees a return to a deeper house sound as shown in their 10 years anniversary compilation; \"10 Years Of Blackmusik\".\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Tiefschwarz","playStationPath":"/stations/114110442/play","stationId":114110442,"bioPath":"/music/Tiefschwarz/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Robag+Wruhme","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/bed/bed707a2e83ac21a65bcebfea4bf4b7e_md.jpg","artistName":"Robag Wruhme","artistId":109456,"station_id":282140562},{"musicPath":"/music/Extrawelt","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/62e/62ec4b2053c1ef6e911cf85dff2f6a2f_md.jpg","artistName":"Extrawelt","artistId":13433,"station_id":115397661},{"musicPath":"/music/Pan+Pot","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d3e/d3e0868dd04afb3bcb4a27dba36e0cc1_md.jpg","artistName":"Pan-Pot","artistId":429767,"station_id":400456806},{"musicPath":"/music/Tigerskin","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ed4/ed420dc5753fb0b0721cc7be3b9be0a3_md.jpg","artistName":"Tigerskin","artistId":134022,"station_id":285886474},{"musicPath":"/music/GusGus","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/bed/bed2dacbf169c5a4344f9db65743a129_md.jpg","artistName":"GusGus","artistId":1073,"station_id":113404316},{"musicPath":"/music/Minilogue","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b21/b21386fba6e044790738e67ed4541979_md.jpg","artistName":"Minilogue","artistId":11478,"station_id":115397914},{"musicPath":"/music/Sven+Vath","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e28/e28412f08aee0ee26507f8ac391302aa_md.jpg","artistName":"Sven Väth","artistId":3219,"station_id":114324000},{"musicPath":"/music/Nick+Curly","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/acb/acbd704ffad5d191e2b3c4a72aa1d83d_md.jpg","artistName":"Nick Curly","artistId":122073,"station_id":283947204},{"musicPath":"/music/Claude+VonStroke","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/243/243504e1f1b65657670042d578dff065_md.jpg","artistName":"Claude VonStroke","artistId":48424,"station_id":227103728},{"musicPath":"/music/Eelke+Kleijn","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b3b/b3bb1e5d48e331871545b19d484c6a25_md.jpg","artistName":"Eelke Kleijn","artistId":79199,"station_id":267702961},{"musicPath":"/music/Tiga","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/133/133c18d119c34a7ae8f52a667bbf53f6_md.jpg","artistName":"Tiga","artistId":15842,"station_id":136521113},{"musicPath":"/music/Stimming","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/9c1/9c11ba33693821cce66296a3cdb57926_md.jpg","artistName":"Stimming","artistId":104351,"station_id":281289935},{"musicPath":"/music/AME","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/1bc/1bc5e8eac61ee3c2def1a98b78fe07ab_md.jpg","artistName":"AME","artistId":117608,"station_id":283168613},{"musicPath":"/music/Guy+Gerber","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/880/88000060e0f32221ada95ea5027432e0_md.jpg","artistName":"Guy Gerber","artistId":106903,"station_id":281656472},{"musicPath":"/music/Mathew+Jonson","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/9c0/9c0e3ad823ab9cdfede350146e3f2fc5_md.jpg","artistName":"Mathew Jonson","artistId":116746,"station_id":283091142},{"musicPath":"/music/Plastikman","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/1a7/1a7b50dc65c4089ae095fc0b937f191e_md.jpg","artistName":"Plastikman","artistId":612,"station_id":114350798},{"musicPath":"/music/Maya+Jane+Coles","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ecb/ecb58260332da5c8e0bf7e3eb4d81464_md.jpg","artistName":"Maya Jane Coles","artistId":102849,"station_id":280121128},{"musicPath":"/music/Robert+Hood","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/caa/caafc2e3761fa0563131d55087fcc78f_md.jpg","artistName":"Robert Hood","artistId":109613,"station_id":282140698}]}
