Isolée: Biography

ISOLÉE is Rajko Mueller, born in Frankfurt/Main.
Lived with his family in Algeria at the age of 7 to 12 and went to a French primary school (and on the week-ends to a beach called bomo plage…)
Came back to Frankfurt with his family in 1983 and went to school where he made a lot of spelling mistakes...
Around that time his parents bought an organ for Christmas and he tried to do some synth-pop with a school friend. They decided to buy a syntheziser and a drumcomputer…
Rajko was bored by synth-pop and EBM in the end of the eighties and listened more to rock and independent music. Friends made him discover house-music, hip-hop and techno in the early 90ies. He restarted to copy this on his old syntheziser and soon realized the need of more equipment, that luckily his elder brother already bought because he liked electronic music too.
He gave a tape to his friend and DJ Andreas »ND« Baumecker, owner of FREUNDINNEN records, who worked in a record-store where the Playhouse guys used to work, too.
That was the beginning of some marvelous music by a guy named ISOLÉE.
The rest (»REST« PLAY CD 001 / 2LP PLAY 038) is part of electronic music history...
