"In 2002 Jens Schefzig and Thorsten Paul met on a party and soon discovered their interest in the same type of music.

Thorsten found out that Jens had some music equipment at home and Jens found out that Thorsten could play on such instruments;)
So the Project KLOPFGEISTER was founded by accident, one day later. After lots of funny home sessions they played their first gig accidentally again, when Thorsten (aka DJ Pauli) hadn't enough new records for a DJ gig and so he asked Jens to accompany him on stage with the synthies. They were supported by a guitar player and singer, as well as a keyboarder, a drummer and a girl on a violin. They improvised for about three hours and after that, they surprisingly were asked to play four more gigs.

Many live acts followed during the next years all around Europe, and they gained a lot of new influences for the studio. Especially Jens worked on his technical skills, whilst Thorsten used his DJ experiences and his classic piano education of ten years to work on songwriting, producing and arranging. KLOPFGEISTER..s first release "How to become a psychic" came out in 2004 on Mental Arts and still is a massive dancefloor burner until today. In 2005 they were asked by the famous PSY label "Balloonia" to release a whole album under Ballonia..s wings.

So in May 2005 the album "Sweet Compromise" came out and received attention worldwide because of its melodic, emotional, progressive but also psychedelic approach. Due to the crash of "Cosmophilia Distribution", Balloonia Records and many other independent labels had to capitulate, so KLOPFGEISTER had to look for a new label. Meanwhile they had developed a lot of tracks and remixes for free download on their homepage www.klopfgeister.com and released many other tracks on compilations.

 KLOPFGEISTER..s second album “Sunflavoured” was released in November 2006 on IONO Music and this release climbed on top of the Psyshop sales charts within one week and stayed number 1 for four weeks. The guys toured for about two months around Europe in summer 2007 and played on big festivals in front of 10.000 people as well as on smaller special events on some crazy places in the universe.

In November 2007 their 3rd album "Travel Diaries " was released, again on IONO Music which was not a totally new album, but a collection of tracks or remixes they played during live concerts or in hotel rooms, trains or airports. Easy to guess where the name "Travel Diaries" arised from! ;) Again, this album climbed on the top position of the Psyshop sales charts for another 4 weeks and still collecting many fans all around the globe.


In 2008 they were able to release on the famous Ministry of Sound Label in England on a Compilation (Psytrance Euphoria) which sold around 50.000 copies which made it the best sold Psytrance Compilation ever.
In the summer season they played on huge Events like Fusion festival, Germany with 60.000 people or Soulvision Festival Brasil.


After 2008 they took a little creative Break, bought new professional Studio Equipment and it turned out that this was a good decision, cause the improved production skills led them to release on international Top Labels like Blue Tunes Spintwist, Spiral Trax, Buddha Bar, etc.

In 2009 the story continued and there are about 2 or 3 releases every month and also remixes by artists like Neelix and Tomic gained a lot of attention.


So its hard to find any good european festival withthout meeting those 2 funny germans.
Their highlight in 2009 until now was to playing at the Zurich Streetparade in Switzerland with nearly 1 Million guests and of course Aurora in greece, where they rocked the floor like it was the last day on earth.
By now they are booked nearly every single weekend and they travel around the world to rock the crowd..s minds and butts But there..s more to it than that: KLOPFGEISTER also work for German TV, producing soundtracks for documentaries as well as jingles for radiostations and homepages. Hard to believe, but Thorsten somehow manages to study music, media and art at the Marburg University (GER) alongside. So stay tuned & curiously await what the guys have in mind for the future!
