Encyclopedia
Marcus Brosch is a German songwriter, record producer and remixer.
Lacking success at playing football in the early eighties, he stopped playing it in favour of playing the guitar at the age of thirteen years, playing in several bands with his later partner in productions, Henrik Menzel. In the mid-90s, he founded the Hip-Hop group Aroma with Menzel and Philipp Grüthering which was the predecessor of the progressive group Deichkind
. However, Brosch and Menzel decided against a career as active artists and founded the production-groupd Island Bros.. One of their first notable projects was the single Electrosonic which they released under the pseudonym Amp at Universal Music together with Klaus Schulze
in 1997. The success of their single provided them the opportunity to work at Herbert Böhme's Boogiepark Studios. Together with Andreas "Boogieman" Herbig, they produced remixes for renown artists like Brandy
, Joy Denalane
, Lionel Richie
, Enrique Iglesias
, Liberty X
, Inessa, Phil Collins
or Lil' Kim
. Subsequently, Boogieman and Island Bros. merged into Boogie Bros., however Menzel and Brosch still produced artists like Olesoul on their own.
Beginning with 2002, Brosch went new ways, now mainly producing together with Roland Spremberg and Kim Sanders
. Well-known results of their collaboration are songs like Fiesta by Vanessa S.
