Background notes
Archive material and source history
Fax Modem is a German electronic duo formed in Cologne around the early 2000s. The group consists of Stefan Betke, who also records as Pole, and Dirk von Lowtzow from the band Tocotronic. Their debut album 'III' came out in 2001, followed by records like 'Coup' in 2003 and 'No Worries' in 2006.
They're probably best known for the track '!!!', which became something of an underground hit. Other songs like 'Alcoolizado' and 'Eu e Você em Amsterdã' show their mix of electronic production with von Lowtzow's vocals. Their sound pulls from techno and house, but with a rougher, more experimental edge that didn't always sit easily with critics.
On stage, they developed a reputation for wearing costumes and putting on shows that felt more like performances than standard DJ sets. That theatrical quality, along with their willingness to shift styles between albums, gave them a particular following in Germany's electronic scene without ever breaking through to wider commercial success.
