Typecell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guido Hoppe (better known as Typecell) is a Drum`N`Bass producer and D.J. presently residing in Germany. He started his career around 1992, spinning under the alias "DJ PMC." In 1996, he started producing. His first official releases were put out on his own imprint, "Genetic Rhythm Records," and were subsequently followed by more releases on such labels as "Bonzai Records / N.E.W.S.," "Red Alert Records," "Thunderdom," "House Nation," as well as many others. In 2000, he created a new alter ego for himself under the name "Typecell" for his more experimental tracks; fusing Techno and Drum`N`Bass. In the early days of his Drum`N`Bass production career, "Typecell" was the name he eventually built his reputation on in the underground scene through a series of mixtapes and numerous innovative releases on vinyl, cd and mp3. About 2002, he started up his long-cultivated Drum`n`Bass record label, "Protogen Records" - which was aimed at a more forward-thinking, club-friendly Drum`n`Bass sound - that, since its inception, has received great acclaim and support from many well known and respected Drum`n`Bass / Techno artists worldwide.
