有些制作人的作品立即与成功联系在一起，他们在寻找新的国内和国际声音方面的天赋是值得称赞的。在德国的音乐产业中，这样的人物屈指可数。在这些人中，有更少的人的唱片读起来像音乐现场的“名人录”。慕斯·t (Mousse t)是极少数这样的人之一，他的歌曲《淫欲》(Horny)和《性炸弹》(Sex Bomb)提供了一个很好的例子，说明了当直觉和精确结合在一起时所产生的力量。但是谁是这些作品的幕后推手呢?Mustafa Gündogdu，别名Mousse T.， 1966年出生于德国黑根，他简洁地描述了自己的成功:“我是一个幽默的音乐爱好者，为他的爱付出超过100%的努力。”对音乐的热爱让他在1990年来到了汉诺威，在那里他建立了自己的工作室，当时他还是“Fun Key B”乐队的键盘手。两年后，他认识了薄荷公园工作室的老板，并将厂牌扩展到舞池音乐。与此同时，Mousse t以极大的热情追求着他对dj的热爱。1993年，他与Peppermint Park的老板和他的合作伙伴Errol Rennalls一起创立了“Peppermint Jam Records”的厂牌，当时Mousse t正开始在更广阔的舞台上以DJ的身份成名。 Several productions with international greats such as Ziggy Marley, Mezzoforte and Randy Crawford are the consequence. In 1998 the single “Horny” catapults the name “MOUSSE T.” into the international charts and establishes him as a solo artist. In the same year, further productions for musicians including Michael Jackson cause a sensation and bring him a Grammy nomination as “best re-mixer”. One might be forgiven for thinking that Mousse T. would rest on his laurels after such outstanding success. Quite the contrary: His curiosity for experimenting with new musical variations combined with his outstanding creative ability has driven him on. “Of course I feel very proud when I look at my Discography. But success for me is important mainly as a basis on which my further work as an artist can flourish. Apart from that, success is, of course, a great motivation and source of energy so that I can continue to give “more than 100%”.” This creativity and variation can also be seen in his new album “All Nite Madness”. “As far as my music is concerned I try to implement new ideas, and my love of music doesn’t draw a line at any particular musical style. So I try to mix lots of styles and develop interesting new songs and sounds that way.” These thoughts are also the basis for the choice of artists on the new album, which includes Emma Lanford, Kathleen Chaplin, Roachford and Calvin Lynch. Mousse T’s preference for a mixture of styles is clearly evident: “It is obviously important for me that the singers with whom I work have a fantastic voice, but they also have to have their own unmistakeable style. If, over and above that, they are great people, then we can do business.” The fact that MOUSSE T. values people so highly is shown in his effectiveness when working in a team. Regardless of a person’s stature, whether one of the music greats or an unknown musician, if the chemistry is right the cooperation flourishes through humour and enthusiasm and with the degree of discipline necessary for the implementation of creative ideas. During the frenetic phase of a track’s production, MOUSSE T.’s producer side emerges, as he controls from the background. However, the first hearing of new creations takes place in his closest circle, mostly with partner Errol Rennalls, with whom he also writes songs. “Errol and I normally function as the “idea’s man” and the “hook line man”. I often give a certain key word or topic and Errol fills this initial musical framework with meaning.” This perfect synergy can also be found on “All Nite Madness”. Whether you take the first single of the album “Is It ’Cos I’m Cool?“, the soulful “Monotony“, “Turn Me On“ with Kathleen Chaplin’s crystal clear vocals or “Underground“ on which ex-Stranglers frontman Hugh Cornwell lends his voice – the integrity of the creator’s style is evident on every track. The single „Is It’ Cos I’m Cool?“ has already developed into a huge hit in Germany and emphasises once again the enormous potential of MOUSSE T. songs. The LP, released on 5 April 2004 will captivate music lovers of a wide-range of styles. Mousse T. continues to deliver the goods in 2005. Right on time for the release of the ipod Mousse T. Special Edition in early november he will release his new single “Horny As A Dandy” with a new album following in 2006. After a few selected promo-gigs for his ipod Mousse T. will promote the new releases with a long clubtour throughout Europe.
