Since 2000, Architektur has played Downbeat and Dub in cities from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to Vienna, Austria. The Wire Magazine described Architektur's debut album, Travelogue, as 'Meat Beat Manifesto collides with Shorty Rogers', and Austinist proclaimed the album as the soundtrack to the Mothership: "Stroll down the promenade and gaze out into the depths of space as the eerie 1920s big band drowns in molten reverb before the leering percussion tears you away". He has also composed award winning scores, including a Telly, Chris & EMPixx award! Architektur founded Lounge Productions and hosts the "Downtempo" radio program, Passport on WRUW 91.1FM. Passport Radio features exclusive interviews with members of Gotan Project, G-Stone, Thievery Corporation, Bitter:Sweet, Bastard Jazz & General Electrics, among others. The album "Musik For Film" was compiled by Architektur, and was ranked among the best "Downtempo" albums of 2008, "Big up to Architektur, the man behind the great 'Musik for Film' compilation...this cd is a must-have for every downbeat/chilled dub fan...great stuff!!" - FM Brussels.
