U96

Almost 30 years ago the first Techno album ever was released: "Das Boot" by U96. In Germany, the track stayed at number 1 for months, and sold more than 2 million copies. U96 was the commercial forerunner of the techno movement. They had various international top 10 hits: "Heaven", "Club Bizarre", "Love Religion" and "Love sees no colour", which still enjoy cult status today. On Spotify alone, U96 has almost 3 million monthly listeners. . Since 2014, Ingo Hauss and Hayo Lewerentz continue to develop the U96 story. In their studio in Hamburg, they went back to their roots with the album "REBOOT" and recorded the album “Transhuman” as a collaboration with ex Kraftwerk member Wolfgang Flür. In 2022 Ingo and Hayo released the musical 20.000 Meilen unter dem Meer". They are also running their label UNLTD Recordings and produce several artists. In October 2025 Ingo Hauss sadly passed way and Hayo Lewerentz will now continue with the project on his own with various collaborators.
