Bio:
Raised in Germany, monoprix is half-German and half-French. He was the creator, front man and major musical influence of the Francophone boy group Les Fr�res Checkolade, who threw the musical whirlwind �Superdisco� onto our dancefloors, showing his talent for plunging the audience into something new and different, while letting them feel comfortable and enjoy the vibe. He worked with or was remixed by musicians like Rechenzentrum, T. Mynther (Stella, Das Bierbeben), F. Spilker (Die Sterne), P. Fuhlbr�gge (Kolossale Jugend), Erobique and Naomi.
Today, monoprix music explores the depths of electronic composing without loosing sight of enchanting melodies and soul-caressing pop songs. If there have been times in music history, when the synthesizer was declared a soulless machine, monoprix has come to breathe life right back into it and turned it into Bambi. For his performances he is not afraid to grab the acoustic and electric guitar or let himself get into a delightful singing duet with his sampler.

And then there's the DJ. Obviously, musical wisdom has its roots somewhere, and he is willing to share. To be part of his DJ-ing sessions means to be taken on a walk from Paris to Berlin by a Charismatic, who not only brings you forgotten treasures, but fills you in on the latest hype by mixing the newest electro music with No Wave
artists from the 1980s as well as with Glam Rock and French Electro
Pop. Berlin coolness, German New Romantic and French esprit all meet in
monoprix wild and wonderful spinnings that make Brit Pop fade to grey - and people addicted to dance!
In 2007 the Goethe Institut selected and invited monoprix (beside DJ Coop, Jeans Team and Jan M�ller from Tocotronic) as Berlin representative DJ/musician for Djing in Los Angeles and San Francisco (Radiointerview in L.A.:http://www.killradio.org/proginfo.php?id=634). F. Johns
