Brief Experience :
Already during the late 80's Andy Prinz, who was chiefly moved by electronic music, began to experiment and create self-inspired sounds with his first synthesizer. He consequently produced EBM and techno tracks with the aid of a sequencer running on an old 2-86 PC. In 1991, Andy and two of his best buddies founded the synthpop-combo named DELAY. They absolved their first live gig as supporting act for the YOUNG GODS in January 1992. Only two years after, the three friends had already gained a recording contract with the German label Off Beat (a division of Westcom / Euromedia); this recording deal resulted in the production of 2 maxi CDs and 4 CD albums. The epitome of the band's life came in 1996 when DELAY initiated its tour of Germany , which involved stopovers at numerous cities including Berlin , Stuttgart , Munich , Cologne , Bochum and Bremen . Furthermore, DELAY was also represented on numerous compilations (with other bands like 'Frontline Assembly', 'Apoptygma Berzerk' and 'Delerium'). The band's productions were diverse and ranged from Darkwave to Tekkno styles. In 1997, Andy Prinz decided to end his band project to begin his own and first, mainly dance music oriented tracks. Together with Rene Zollinger, Andy soon laid out the foundations to a fruitful partnership in music production that became known as the AND-E & MAC LANE duo in Switzerland . Already their first release 'How I feel' became an instant underground hit in Switzerland's prominent 'Sensor' and 'Nachtwerk' clubs. Artists like DJ Pure, Noise and Dream continuously played 'How I feel' to the extent that the track made it on the 'Live @ Goliath' compilation. In the following two years many more maxi releases appeared under the duo's project name. Since the release of their third single 'Swallow it down'', AND-E & MAC LANE were exclusively represented by Germany 's UCMG (Under Cover Music Group). Their production 'Swallow It Down' even made it on Junior Vasquez's (New York's most loved DJ and master remixologist for artists like Cher and Madonna) club compilation 'Twilo ? Vol. 1' (Virgin, EMI). For the remix of 'Swallow it down', Andy and Ren? worked together with Dave 202 ? he's one of the most famous dj's in Switzerland and has gained a lot of attention as the co-producer of Phil Green.
