Behind the Electro (Classic / Detroit / Modern) : Release Notes

Originally composed by Collage in 1985, Herzschlag returns in a newly recorded cover version by Berlin-based synth-wave duo Bionda e Lupo. Describing themselves as a “boy/girl band like no other,” Lupo recreated the NDW-electro tune from the ground up using an impressive array of vintage instruments and studio equipment, including classic synths such as a Pro-One, a Roland Juno-60 and a Farfisa Syntorchestra. Bionda’s distinctive voice adds a new emotional depth to Katrin A. Kunze’s lyrics while still remaining true to the original spirit of the song. Lupo of Bionda e Lupo has long been a devoted fan of Mit den Puppen tanzen, Collage’s only release at the time, originally issued as a 12″ single in 1984. Despite never managing to acquire an original copy, he considers the record unique within the German NDW landscape thanks to its unmistakable “Bravo-breakdance-meets-synth-pop” character. Indeed, Markus Kammann, Jürgen Grah, and Katrin A. Kunze drew significant inspiration from the electro-funk pioneers of the era, particularly Afrika Bambaataa’s iconic Planet Rock. When we approached Bionda e Lupo about re-editing a track from the Collage’s Motel d’amour release, they instead proposed recording an entirely new cover version. Work on the project began in spring 2025 in coordination with Markus Kammann, who, together with Jürgen Grah, originally composed the music. Sadly, Kammann, born in 1958, passed away unexpectedly on October 17, 2025. This release is dedicated to his memory. The liner notes reveal additional details about Kammann’s remarkable life and achievements. He was the founder of the legendary Beatbox club in Wuppertal, which was once recognized as the “Best Club in Europe,” and a co-founder of the Groove Attack record store. Groove Attack would later grow into one of the world’s most influential music distributors, especially for Hip-Hop.
