He is a cyborg in the suit of Midnight head-bangers of the 80’s, inspired by Bauhaus, Joy Division, Front242 etc… BEROSHIMA and how the story began... The Beroshima project had been started by Frank Müller in the early 1990s, appearing first on his former label Acid Orange. The experimental sound of Beroshima on Acid Orange became a well-known trademark sound around the underground club network all over the world. Label Work Frank Müller's 2nd label Muller Records, launched in 1996, grew with Berlin based club sound and developed into one of the successful German electronic music export labels. He has built a musical network from Berlin around the globe to Tokyo to South America and South Asia. After four years he concentrated all his activities onto Muller Records the platform to which he invited other high-profile techno producers. Some of the representable Beroshima releases like "Electronic Discussion" and "Deebeephunky" became worldwide stompers and started a series of club hits released on Muller Records. Soon other artists and friends joined the label.

Nowadays he is hosting residency nights in Tresor and Club Maria, both based in Berlin. Productions Every single release has opened new dimensions and took him out to so many cities in the world. At the same time Frank Müller has invited other musicians and producers to explore new sounds and to broaden the scope of his project, sharing and trading different ideas.

The unique sound of Beroshima and the variations of his latest releases make it difficult to describe his enormous output in a few words. Frank Müller and his alter ego Beroshima have by now became an icon. Just recently he turned back on the organic analogue sound that BEROSHIMA became known for.

This release was compiled by Francois K as “Master piece” (ministry of sound UK) and by Funk D’void as “Sci-Fi Hi-Fi” (Soma mix CD series). Beroshima's release “Moonraker” on his own label is power pushed Laurent Garnier and has just been licensed by Danny Howells for his next mix CD from Rennessaince. The artist Beroshima is praised for his diverse performance and unique electronic music style, where multiple layered grooves, whirling bass-lines, dashes of melody strings evolve out of the wide range out of a since 20 years expanding record box. His world map has spread over Europe, Asia, Japan and South America which he is exploring with his musical compass. Loving to produce music in his gear factory, filled with original & geek equipment, where styles are without limit and genre. ”Let people wave! is all that matters", he says.
