TERRANOVA BIO
The TERRANOVA story begins in Germany in the mid-eighties, when a young 
Berliner named Fetisch caught a dose of the American hip-hop bug sweeping 
its way across Europe. He embarked on a journey of discovery to New York 
City that would lay the foundations of production outfit TERRANOVA. Fetisch 
spent the next few years making his name as a DJ in the Big Apple, playing 
in seminal clubs such as Tunnel, Danceteria and Palladium and producing some 
of the early Gee Street Releases. A network of like-minded producers soon 
sprouted up around him, and his trips to London led to the beginning of 
long-lasting friendships with the likes of the Stereo MC's. He hooked up his 
band with vocalist Cath Coffey, and produced "Axis" and "Motherman" for the 
MC's. This spirit of collaboration was to become a characteristic feature of 
TERRANOVA's work in the forthcoming years. Fetisch eventually returned to 
Berlin at the end of the 80s, where he soon met fellow Berliner Marco 
Meister, who had trained as a classical pianist at the Academy of Arts. The 
pair of them started working on film soundtracks. Shortly afterwards they 
made the acquaintance of DJ and graffiti artist Kaos, and the trio started 
up a production team called TURNTABLE TERRANOVA. First releases appeared on 
Compost and All Good Vinyl, their third 12" in collaboration with Manuel 
"E2-E4" Göttsching, bringing them resounding international success. It 
catapulted Fetisch, Meister and Kaos, now named TERRANOVA for short, into 
the British press, exposing a unique sound creation with their blend of 
hip-hop beats and the European tradition of electronic music.
