NEONLIGHT is the union of two very different personalities who have one particular thing in common (apart from the childhood that they already spent together) – a true passion for Drum & Bass. At the end of the 90s they started to play Drum and Bass on events and gathered first experiences with software based music production.

To set up own events and test their music on a PA helped them to find out whether the songs would catch the interest of the audience. Apart from that is was a good opportunity to connect with other DJs and producers. The positive feedback impelled their musical development and forced them to dive deeper into the Drum & Bass matter.

Always in search of the better sound and an accomplished composition NEONLIGHT devises every song individually. They are not setting any musical or temporary borders until everything fits perfectly and they are pleased to decide that they again finalized a new piece of good music.

Releases and other work

A flush of enthusiasm accompanied their release of “Wave” on Ammunition recordings in the summer of 2009. After the collaboration with Kiro & Rolar, the ‘Blackout EP’ released on Trust In Music (including Apex´s Remix of ‘Epidemic’) finally made their international debut.

First remix requests did not keep waiting for too long and plenty of them had been transposed in 2010. It did not take long before many remix requests arrived in the Neonlight inbox and a lot of these projects took shape in 2010. In the process a lot of effort went into producing a remix not only as a simple copy with new beats, but to create a complete new remix without displacing the original attributes. The work that got most attention was ‘Little Green Men’ as an original by Rico & Scoop, which was released on ‘Dangerous New Age’.

It found many admirers among artists like Prolix, Optiv, Bad Company, The Panacea and others, who played this track around the world (to the big delight and surprise of the guys). More releases like ‘Strange Days’ (Celerity & Doppler/ Abducted), ‘Crossed Roots’ (Giana Brotherz/ Giana Brotherz) und ‘Evil Has No Boundaries’ (Cativo/ Ammunition) followed.

Optiv and Blokhe4d had been the first grandeurs in the scene, who were looking for a collaboration with NEONLIGHT. Along with the remix of Optiv’s ‘Run it Red’ (Red Light) they set a new benchmark for future activities. Without merely one exception, pretty much all the respected Drum and Bass DJs like Dieselboy, Black Sun Empire, Audio, State of Mind and The Panacea started to play this remix. Another remarkable success stood in a close context with a sad and sharp break from the boys’ former life. They cooperated with Hedj from Augsburg/ Germany who passed away in a tragic accident. Out of this cooperation tracks like ‘Hammerhead’ (Red Light) and ‘System Error’ (Trust In Music) arouse and enthused both DJs and fans in the Drum & Bass scene. Not only the business they shared, but a short and close friendship will always be treasured in the memory of NEONLIGHT.

The year 2011 started immediately with further musical highlights. Releases were up for ‘Nothing Is Safe’ with Hackage on the Label ‘Close 2 Death’. Shortly after the last corporate track of NEONLIGHT and Hedj, ‘Joker’, was released on the ‘Hedj & Friend EP’ (Bad Taste Recordings). In spring the long-expected 12” with the famous boom tracks ‘Contraire’ and ‘Ultraviolet’, which were released on Bad Taste Recordings as well, finally followed. Furthermore a remix of New Zealand’s hottest Drum n Bass export State of Mind appeared on a remix EP from their album ‘Nil by Ear’. Other releases like ‘The Frozen Tape’ (Trust In Music), Audio´s Remix of ’Nothing Is Safe‘ (Close 2 Death) and NEONLIGHTs Remix from ‘Giant Warrior’ (Scary & Bad Matter/ Close 2 Death) are just in work to be finally played in the clubs.

Beyond producing both are nationally and internationally in great demand. But they always set a huge value on creating each set differently and with loving attention to detail. And if necessary for this ambition, they arrive with 4 decks and 2 mixing desks. For the upcoming months projects with Optiv, Axiom, Fourward, Inside Info, DaVIP and Cause4Concern are scheduled. Not to mention the collaboration with Wintermute and sH1, both from Leipzig. With them they are curious to work out more experimental and deeper-sounding productions, in which no melodic boundaries will be set.
