marco freivogel und ingo gansera are exercise one. they learned to know each other when they were working for the berlin label k7, and they soon started to privately create their own music in their own studio.
music making now is their daily job. they share a studio in the district known as kreuzberg right next to the legendary hardwax record store, together with luciano, memo and in the beginning also with jeremy p. cauldfield. he was the one to encourage marco and ingo to send out a few demos, when he had heard them live in berlin.
shortly after, the first 12” record “roll with you” including a jeremy p. cauldfield remix was released on mofa schallplatten.
in 2005, exercise one started their own label lan muzic. the two smart boys succesfully published their first release “kitchentools ep”, which includes tracks by exercise one, memo and a remix by luciano. the record made it into the record boxes of the most successful djs and anja schneider supported the project in her show on radio fritz. the record stayed in her mind, and when she met marco and ingo, she engaged them to release on her label mobilee 004. the release comes along with a duplex 100 remix as a supplement.
by now exercise one play on the most important summer festivals (melt!, fusion, bittersweet etc.)
exercise one’s track easy things is surprisingly melodic, impressing by its hypnotic bass line it takes the listener away into a bittersweet world where we can follow the easy way of life and forget about time.
easy things was remixed by duplex 100 a.k.a. phil stumpf and reynold who exactly hit the pulse of time and deliver the new definition of minimalism we’ve all been waiting for, delighting us to the point we cheer.
