| Bishop's 25th Anniversary |
9b |
|
|
25 years ago we started in the small town Northeim in the middle of Germany. The first release with a mayor company was in 1982 on the label Fontana/Phonogram . In 1985 the band Silent Circle hit the German single charts with ‘Touch In The Night’ - cowritten, arranged and recorded by Axel Breitung, 2 further singles and an album got chart notations too. Also in the eighties: chart-success with the record company Zyx and the Italo-Boot-Mixes 7 and 9. In the beginning of the nineties Bishop got a good start with productions for the artist DJ BoBo. ‘Somebody Dance With Me’ was his first hit and now after more than 10 years and 21 chart-singles and 10 chart-albums DJ BoBo and Bishop Audio are still a team. 1996 we decided to move to Hamburg in order to produce for the mayor companies. And it did work - Axel Breitung got the Echo Award 2002 in the category ‘Best National Producer’. On the 23rd of August we’ve celebrated our 25th anniversary together with friends on a ship in the harbour of Hamburg.
