Tours
with acts like Rockers Hi-Fi, Morcheeba, Lamb, dj bookings with trendsetters
like James Lavelle, DJ Krush, DJ Shadow, Gilles Peterson and event
series like the legendary "London Underground Nights" were
pioneering feats in the German clubscene.
On the local side of things the range of involvement remained multifacetted.
>From the first really big hiphop shows in Hamburg with acts like
LL Cool J, Stetsasonic, Public Enemy, Jungle Brothers, Brand Nubian
and the likes to charity galas, promotional events for radio stations,
magazines and tv stations ("Rave-olution", "10 years of Spex magazine"
etc), Electric Chair did it all!

The years 1995-2000 saw a decrease in local productions in favour
of Electric Chair´s tour business, meanwhile having become an international
affair. Simultaneously Electric Chair used their experiences also
to offer management services to individual artists. Concerning local
shows in Hamburg, most important became the exclusive booking of the
live shows at the renowned Mojo Club, where bands like Basement Jaxx,
Cinematic Orchestra, Rob Gallager & Valerie Etienne, Nightmares On
Wax, The Herbaliser, |

The annual Popkomm event "Friendly Electric" in Cologne (since 1995),
and the Drum Rhythm Nights (quarterly in Hamburg, Berlin, Cologne
and Munich since 1997) are two of Germany´s highest profile event
series, courtesy of Electric Chair. Electric Chair believe that the
art of the business cannot be the short-lived hype earning short-lived
money. Electric Chair stands for the continuous development and the
affectionate care of the artists represented. In 2002 Electric Chair
runs offices in Hamburg and Berlin with a total of 7 team members
and represents artists like Kruder & Dorfmeister, Nicola Conte Jazz Combo,
Rainer Trueby, dZihan&Kamien, Hanne Hukkelberg, Ursula Rucker, Torun Eriksen,
Michael Reinboth, Mellow&Rivera etc.
Also Electric Chair remains a sought after partner in the international tour business.
Electric Chair is an independent, personal company for independent,
