Die Haut

Die Haut (German for the skin) were an experimental German post-punk and post-rock band in Berlin during the 1980s and 1990s, with such records as the Nick Cave collaboration Burnin' the Ice. The only constant member was Christoph Dreher, who also worked as a film director and author.
They were formed as an instrumental rock quartet: nonetheless, many of their recordings and live performances featured an array of international guest vocalists (for example, the 1992 release Head On features Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth), Alan Vega), Debbie Harry and Lydia Lunch).
Their last full-length album was Spring (1997) followed by a remix album called Springer (1998).

Peel first played the group in 1982 when they released their debut album and single during that year. He would continue supporting them including their collaboration with Nick Cave on the album, Burnin' The Ice, with airplay at least every year until 1985. In 1992, Peel played a track, Intoxication, from their Head On album, which featured the vocals of Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth, who partially sang in German.
