Firedance was originally formed in 2006 by producer Marcel Otte and DJ/Producer Stephan Lohmann. The duo has quickly made a name for themselves producing a fresh and familiar sound with superior production values. Unashamedly influenced by earlier techno sounds, they have put a contemporary twist on the bedrock of their creative inspiration. The use of superb vocalists has produced a series of cross-over hard dance tracks. Marcel, on his own, continues to release tracks that find favour amongst top German clubs such as Fun (Essen), Nanu (Herne), Playa (Bochum), Tarm (Bochum), DJ-Marathon 2000, Glaspalast (Dinslaken), König (Oberhausen), Viva (Oberhausen) and Königshof (Lippstadt). Marcel have also worked with a variety of German producers and labels: Essential DJ Team, Remote Records, Tremplin Beat Productions, De-Ton-Nation Production, Mega Hook Records and Apopleks und Genlooks to name but a few. Not content with developing just one sound, Marcel also releases under the name 'Hardformers': The Hardformers sound is all hard vocal dance.
