He continued to compose, produce and engineer musical content (e.g., for Larry Steinbacheck/Bronski Beat, Gareth Jones, Rio Reiser, Marianne Rosenberg)^[5] working mainly in Hansa Tonstudio and Tritonus Studio Berlin.

Several contract works followed (i.a. The Pogues, Peacock Palace, David Hasselhoff).^[6][7]

The project also features elaborate visuals (video: Carola Schmidt), a complimentary movie and a stage play are in the making^[13] The album Tangowerk was nominated for the German Record Critics' Award Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik.^[14]
