In order to be halfway screwed again, you need a freshly brewed Fusspils from the Lager2 production. Master brewer Gerrit Thomas (Eisfabrik, Funker Vogt, Ravenous, Fictional) swears, as is well known, by the electronically generated sounds of the synthesizers in his studio, haunting sounds and melodic vocal lines. At Fusspils 11 everything is a little different, but not really.
After 17 years, the 3rd bottling of the project is due on April 29th, 2022. As with the predecessors Give Her a Name (1998) and Elektro-Polizei (2005), Fusspils 11 consumers can expect foaming electro beats, tingling basslines and quite a few songs, most of which were not penned by the participating artists.
This concoction is all about the number eleven, 11 bottles trying to get their vocals into the mic, 16 tracks in an eleven pack and 11 tracks that real musicians found success with. But really, it’s all about those 11 bottles!
Gerrit Thomas has found the right mash for every bottle, so he has Bastian Polak (Intent:Outtake) Haifisch von Rammstein bottled, Tim Schulschenk (Alienare) Do you see it the same way? by Sportfreunde Stiller and Jan Bertram (Eisfabrik) Black to blue by Peter Fox. And yet there are also a few songs written especially for Fusspils 11, which could explain how a factory is kept running or why a TV-known professional boxer came to boxing.
