Born in 1968 in Frederiksberg, Copenhagen, Dithmar used his young years
playing all sorts of air instruments
at
home while attending school at Sankt Annæ Gymnasium, one of the country's
most highly recognized musical
colleges.
Kraftwerk, Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream were and still are some of
Dithmars biggest sources of
inspiration.
From the middle of the 80's he played several synth bands and did music
scores for a number of small
experimental
Danish films aswell as attending some exibitions on modern Danish art museums.
When
jungle and drum'n bass hit the country Dithmar turned focus on that, producing
and mixing for several artists
aswell
as releasing a solo-album under the name of Computa in 1998 with a number
of guest artists - Trentemøller,
N.I.S.,
DJ Caspar and Dj Pyro, along with Danish keyboard legend Kenneth Knudsen.
The
last couple of years Dithmar has been working on two separate fronts. Together
with NamNam Records
delivering
a number of tech/club tracks, and the big acknowlegdement project making
remakes and his own
Zeit-tracks
all inspired by the old german heroes: Kraftwerk, Schulze and Tangerine
Dream. This project has now
developed
into his first solo release in a decade - Zodiac Zeit - on Mellowjet
Records.
