Schneider TM

Dirk Dresselhaus (born 28 August 1970), better known by his stage name Schneider TM, is a German musician from Bielefeld, Germany, who produces between adventurous electronic pop-music and experimental, sometimes improvised freeform music, while occasionally bringing these and other opposing elements together. 
From 1989 until 1997 he played and sang in adventurous rock and pop bands like Hip Young Things and Locust Fudge (both on Glitterhouse Records) before he became more active in electronic music around 1996. Schneider TM is responsible for a couple of experimental electro-freak-pop albums (on City Slang / Mute) including underground-hits like 'Reality Check', 'Frogtoise' and a cover version of a song by The Smiths called 'The Light 3000', a collaboration with KPT.Michi.Gan that was hugely acclaimed by the alternative media like John Peel, The Wire etc.
Schneider TM has been credited as one of the main inventors of a music genre called Indietronic or Indietronica.

Peel played tracks from Dresselhaus, when he was in bands such as the Hip Young Things and Locust Fudge, but once the musician went into electronic music, he was enthusiastic about his work and played many tracks from him between 2000 and 2003, including doing a session and live set from the Sonar Festival in Barcelona for his programme.
