RMB (band)

Last updated

RMB was a German techno-rave duo, founded in 1993 by musicians and producers Farid Gharadjedaghi and Rolf Maier-Bode (the latter whose initials form the band name). The RMB name was a pun on the German-sounding name Rolf Maier-Bode. Despite that, RMB has always been a duo since the project's formation in '93.

History

The two met in 1991 while working for the Adam & Eve label, Maier-Bode as a producer and Gharadjedaghi as A&R. After two releases under the RMB name, they split from Adam & Eve in 1993 to join the Low Spirit label. Their 1996 single, "Spring," was a gold record in Germany, with sales over 250,000 copies, and the follow-up "Reality" reached #11 in the Media Control charts. [1] After this, they worked with Sharam Jey and Talla 2XLC. In 1998, they founded their label, Various Silver Recordings.

Through their association with German rave culture, they have engaged in environmental activism, [1] joining Greenpeace in protest against the Moruroa atoll nuclear testing, to which they dedicated the track "Our Trip to Mururoa", a B-side found in the single "Passport to Heaven."

RMB split up in 2006. Their last studio album, "Evolution," was released online on March 18, 2009.
