At Fnoob Techno we pride ourselves on our community. We are the techno family. Some of our family have a rich history in the techno scene. One of them is Saturday resident Voodoopriester:
Axel Lüers a.k.a. Voodoopriester, lives in Bremen/ Germany. His techno adventure started with in 1995, after visiting first time the legendary “E- Werk“- Berlin. Hooked immediately on the techno sound he jumped into production and his first release was in 1997, on his own label “Voodoomania Art & Sound”, on the CD “Voodoobeats – Bremen Underground Compilation“. More releases followed on “Voodoomania” as well as other labels.
Axel’s first success was with the track “12-99“, released on the cusp of the millenium 31.12.1999 on Vinyl “Voodoomania 005”.The influential Axel Wirtz (A & R – Superstition / Hamburg) ranked this track number 2 in his DJ – Charts at the time.
Axel also enjoyed joint releases the likes of Michael Lambart from Northbeatz – Audio ( “Lüers & Lambart” and “Drumkombinat“) on Vinyl followed. In 1998 “Voodoomania” started organizing events. First “Voodoobeats 1 + 2”, after “Voodooculture” and “Aquarius”. 1998 was the start of the Voodpriester radioshow “Kanal Fatal”. the folowing year in 1999 the show was broadcasting on “EvoSonic”- Munich, too.

Good radio shows never end, they get bettter! The show is still running…..now over 22 year later, albeit with some changes… now titled “Voodoo – Ritual“, broadcasting on Fnoob Techno Radio.
In 1998 Axel started his work as Live- PA playing out his productions and then later in 2001 he started DJ at parties too.
2006 saw a reduction in Axel’s workload which he puts down to “the boring minimal- epidemic.”
However, things improved and in 2009 Axel saw a rebirth of the Underground Techno scene in Bremen again. The “Voodooculture” was reborn, and also his work as a DJ. Then fortunately for all of us in August 2012 he started producing again. He has released more than 250 tracks/remixes since this point (legend!)
