Monolog / Hans Solo & XPQ-21

Hans Solo (Frank Schnütgen) and XPQ-21 (Stefano Giachetta) have known each other since the 1980s, when they joined the apprenticeship as an information electronics engineer.

Hans Solo, who was not yet a solo artist at that time, but the frontman of the rap formation ƒi-Tiem from Porz. XPQ-21 was still on stage as the Jeyenne. At the beginning they met in the basement studio in Porz and experimented in different directions. Frank Schnütgen remained loyal to rap / hip hop as Hans Solo and Stefano Ciachetta dedicated himself to the electronic sounds as Jeyenne. However, the contact always remained, later on Stefano Giachetta EMS (Electronic Music School), where Schnütgen already lectured on the subject of electronic music / synthesizers.

When Hans Solo then published his - Monologue of a Schizophrenic - Stefano Giachetta thought of making a remix of it, but under his current name XPQ-21, under which he also had quite a few releases in the past few years. That's how the monologue came about.
