Brain of Silent Circle

Axel Breitung

Born: 21.8.57 in Rheydt
Artistic name: Axel B.

It is very easy and very hard at the same time to write about this man! He has made so much in the world of dance music that it would be enough for the whole Home Page like those of Dieter Bohlen! I'm not even sure who of them has produced more projects and written more songs. Here I'll give you just a short list of artists he was working with:

  • Thomas Anders
  • Fancy
  • Marlene Ricci
  • Axel B. "Der Hammer"
  • Michael Bedford "More than a Kiss", "Tonight"
  • Joy Peters "One Night In Love, One Night In Fear" (my favourite!)
  • Italo Boot Mixes
  • Beat System "Stay with me"
  • 2 Shy "You Give Me All I Need"
  • S.A.Y. "Winner of the game"
  • Indra "Anywhere", "We belong together"
  • Loft "It's raining again"
  • Bizarr "Rain queen"
  • Real Hype "Train of love"
  • Osmania "Face of a stranger"
  • Free 2 Dance "Piece of heaven"
  • Urgent C "Wish you were here"
  • DJ Bobo "Let the dream come true", "Love is all around", "Freedom", "Shadows of the night" (superb!!!) and others.

    No need to say that Axel Breitung is the "brain" of Silent Circle. He had high industrial education (specialized in metals and construction), but music took over in his life. His strong side was always composing. Already for his first hardrock band "2nd Hand" wrote he the main songs, but real success came to him in German pop music. During "pre-Silent Circle" years he has composed about 150 songs, among others in 1982 for totally unknown by that time Thomas Anders. Axel has founded the Bishop studio in 1977 and was constructing amplifiers and boxes. He literally lives in his recording studio and only appears on stage a few times a year when Silent Circle are on tour.
