About X-perience 59384_x-perience2


The German dancepop group X-Perience includes singer Claudia Uhle and composers Mathias Uhle (born 17/3/1973, 1,86 m) and Alex Kaiser (born 7/4/1973, 1,80 m). Alex learned to play guitar at the age of 6, for the present he refuses to use it. Matthias tries to persuade him to, at least, bring the guitar to the concerts. Alex spends most of his sparetime calling friends and hanging around 'der Strippe' for hours. His favourite words are: 'I like to call you back'. Often Alex enjoys himself with the comedian-duo Badesalz. Matthias Uhle (keyboard, lyrics) loves so sit by his keyboard and make new genious sounds. Claudia and Alex describes Matthias as a hunter and collector. He always looking for new sounds and his apartment looks like a big magazine- and recordarchive.

The group also includes Diana Käthne who is performing stage background vocals when X-Perience is performing live.

Matthias and Alex were school mates and they established the band in 1995. Although they didn't have a contract with any record company, they decided to produce and make a single-CD entitled Circles Of Love, which was released as author's edition under the label World of Enigation. It became however, so popular (soon after the song was played on the Berlin-Branderburger radiostation Fritz, the song stormed into the top 5 charts, and stayed there for over 20 weeks) that X-Perience got a record deal with WEA Records. Surprised with the success, X-Perience released a few remixes of Circles of Love. In May 1996 they earned yet another success when Circles of Love placed 72 on the Media-Control-Charts.

During that time X-Perience was of course not inactive, besides a Club-Tour Alex and Matthias worked on new songs. In November 1997 they released their debut album Magic Fields which sold sold 50.000 copies in Germany and went platinum in Finland.

It included a cover of Bon Jovi's song Keep the faith. At the end of November, the group started a 2 months tour through Germany, visiting all the great radio-stations. This was followed by a promo-Tour in Hungary, Poland and Finnland in February 1998.

After a one-week delay, on 23th February the single Game of Love was released. The video was shot in January 22th in Berlin, in a bar where Claudia, Matthias and Alex are waiters.
