nutrunner (frankfurt/germany)
The musical roots
of the Nutrunner" aka Patrick Kunkel are based in 1997 and connected
with the project "b-side" together with his former partner.
Intending to avoid any confusion with other bands, the project was renamed
to "the nut runners", in Germany a synonym for freaky people
working with the machines, also doing an excellent sound design on their
tracks. In summer of 2001 both decided to go different ways, so Patrick
cut the plural "s" and got "Nutrunner" and one of
Frankfurts´ young talents. After a half year break the new "Nutrunner"
aka Patrick Kunkel is back on track since winter 2001. He has changed
his sound completely, more straight ahead with progressive techno, but
also influences from house. The nut runner presents hard banging techno
music, partly monotone, but always under the aspect of being groovy. He
combines the elements of a lot of different styles in order to show it
as a whole. In March 2002 Patrick quit his job in the management of the
Global Tunes Music Agency in order to focus more on his own studio projects.
Some time later - in the early summer 2002 - he released his first remix
on A45 records which was done together with schnick s. from the U60311
for Heatwave´s "Boogie Nights. In the following year Patrick
met Harold Todd from the Lenny Kravitz Band and they both set up the project
Sexy Pie. 2004 they released their first single For You on Liberté
Recordings. In March 2006 he released his first record on Silver Planet
Recordings, together with a remix from Oliver Koletzki, who made the famous
Der Mückenschwarm on Cocoon Recordings. / Discography: Guy Gerber
