About
The project run by cologne-based artists Axel Erbstößer and Emanuel Geller, was built up in 1997. 9 12″ vinyls, 2 mix albums and lots of pumping live gigs, brought Salz a lot of respect in the dub house scene worldwide. Fascinated of the warmth and deepness of this particular sound, and the technoid character of this tracks, Salz began to create their own interpretations, by building up their own specific sound. The music was 1st released exclusively on their own label called Salz, and after their 2nd EP, the decision was done, to bring out their sound on live stages.
Salz has gone on tour and performed since 1999, in clubs like Ego Bar (Duesseldorf), Artheater (Cologne), Area51 (Zurich), Tresor (Berlin), Panorama Bar (Berlin), Club Douala (Ravensburg), Alter Schlachthof (Dresden), Club Bogaloo (Pfarrkirchen), Cave Club (Salzburg), and De:Bug Party (Hamburg).
After the 4th Release Quattro in 2000, the climax of their technoid dub house was reached. Supported by artists and friends like Razoof, SolarMoon, Rubbasol they developed a more reggealised style. A landmark collaboration was the cooperation, with the pop legend Thomas Dolby for the remix of One of Our Submarines, and also remixes by Hardfloor, Ricardo Villalobos and Akufen.
Besides the regular productions, Salz was known as remix crew for Philippe Cam, Alexander Robotnick, Martha and the Muffins, Carol Douglas, The Unknown Cases, Walter Dahn ❘ Hornissen, Jen, and Cosmic Sandwich.
In 2004 the band took timeout, and paused the label for a while. Emanuel Geller runs his own mastering studio Salz Mastering. Axel Erbstoesser produces tracks for the Cologne lounge and house combo floorJIVERS, and also tours live with them. Axel also tours for some special gigs as Salz Revival Band for hardcore fans. In the last 2 years, studio work is more active and intense, the valves are hot and ready, whilst remixes of Salz are still requested.
