BIOGRAPHY: Cygnus X once stood for what trance was supposed to be: funky acid squelch lines and a general feeling of happiness through a pulsating beat for ravers to unite with. They did just that for a while, producing some of musical history's greatest trance achievements, such as 1993's "Superstring" and 1994's "The Orange Theme", a reworking of a song from the soundtrack to the movie "Clockwork Orange". At first, it was a combination of effort between joint music enthusiasts Matthias Hoffmann and Ralf Hildenbeutel, but after some early tracks were released, it became a solo venture for Matthias Hoffmann as his partner left the project. Sadly, Cygnus X has since faded into obscurity, the last release coming as a remix in 2000. Currently, Matthias Hoffmann (and Hildenbeutel) run the record label Schallbau, where new material continues to flow to this day. The entire back-catalogue of Cygnus X releases is available as well! |
