The musical chemistry clicked into place and they became fast friends, roommates, and in 2005, label bosses of their first label: Tonkonsum. Three releases later, in summer 2006, they had their first hit with "You Are I" on their second label - Supdub. Since then Heinrichs & Hirtenfellner have produced almost twenty releases and remixes on several hot labels.

In 2007 they found a home base and a familiar crew at Highgrade Records, whose musical philosophy matches their own. They've made their name on Highgrade with two successful EPs and a digital release, all of which have left us craving for more!

Heinrichs & Hirtenfellners music combines dry and carefully structured minimal funk with infinite influences that take them well far beyond the pigeon-hole thinking. Buzzing house grooves here, dubby basslines there and in between cruising jazz samples or swirling oriental sounds. German music critics have credited them with a "fresh sound", which "combines the new Chicago with minimal abstraction".

In the past few years Heinrichs & Hirtenfellner have played in clubs like Watergate, Arena Club, Bar25 and Panorama Bar. They have also rocked international clubbers in Amsterdam, Moskau, and Madrid. A glance at their booking schedule proves that they are one of Germanys most sought after new acts.

With their debut album "Dark Orbit" on Highgrade (May 2009) Heinrichs & Hirtenfellner entered a major new phase, simultaneously starting their new live show. We wait with baited breath to see where in the musical universe the duo will go next.
