Jam & Spoon was an influential electronic dance duo from Frankfurt, Germany that consisted of composers and producers Rolf Ellmer (aka Jam El Mar - classically trained composer) and Markus Löffel (a DJ, stage name: Mark Spoon). Jam & Spoons first album, BreaksUnit1, was released in 1991. They had their first hit with the 1992 song Stella, considered to be a trance classic. In 1992, one British DJ on Radio 1 went as far to say that this song saved techno music. He stated that techno music was no longer fresh and new until this trance classic hit the scene. It was widely played, remixed and bootlegged in the dance club community for many years after its release. The pair had the remixed singles The Age of Love and Go. Their first international and commercial success in 1994 with the singles Right In the Night Find Me and Angel. These tracks featured vocals by singer Plavka Lonich. The albums Tripomatic Fairytales 2001 and Tripomatic Fairytales 2002 were released in 1994, followed by Disco 2001 (1995) as Tokyo Ghetto Pussy, Kaleidoscope (1997), Stormjunkie (2000) as Storm, and finally Tripomatic Fairytales 3003 (2005). In 2000 they remixed The Chase, a 1979 Giorgio Moroder track. Credited to Giorgio Moroder vs. Jam & Spoon, the song hit number 1 on the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. In June 2002 Be.Angeled hit number 4 on this chart. In September 2006, a two compact disc set entitled Remixes & Club Classics was released to celebrate Mark Spoon. It is the first compilation of the duos collected works, and features an exclusive track Be.Angeled - Tribute to Mark Spoon, performed live at the 2006 Love Parade in Berlin.
