2raumwohnung
They reached the high point of their career to date with the album "36 Grad" ("36 Degrees"), which remained in the German music charts for a total of 33 weeks.
Recordings from that period were used in advertisements, such as for Imperial Tobacco's "Cabinet" brand ("Wir trafen uns in einem Garten" ("We Met in a Garden")) and for HypoVereinsbank.
[8] Due to successful sales, a remixed version of "Kommt zusammen", which combined house and electro elements, was also produced in January 2002.
Their next album, "Es wird Morgen" ("It Will Be Tomorrow" / "It Will Be Morning"), soon followed in August 2004, contained twelve songs and was sold in three different CD editions.
[12] The record was performed live on tour throughout Germany and various neighboring European countries, with Jansen and Kowalski appearing as the opening act.
[13] The summer album, "Melancholisch schön" ("Melancholically Beautiful"), followed in 2005 and featured twelve of the band's most well-known songs, which were re-recorded and remixed in Bossa Nova style.
[14] In February 2007, following after a short break, 2raumwohnung composed two singles with Peter Plate from Rosenstolz and producer Ulf Leo Sommer for the album "36 Grad".
[15] With the first single, "Besser geht's nicht" ("It Can't Get Any Better Than This"), the duo made it into the top thirty of the German charts for the first time.
Inga Humpe compared the song to George Michael's "Last Christmas", stating that it has maintained its summer popularity throughout the years, with ongoing possibilities of re-recordings and remixes.
[21] The tour covered a total of 17 cities, including Berlin, Cologne and Munich, as well as Vienna und Zürich.
[22] 2raumwohnung subsequently released a live "36 Grad" video DVD that included both the entire concert at Berlin's Columbia Hall as well as performances from 2003 to 2005.
The album contained a total of 13 songs, including the singles "Wir werden sehen" ("We Will See") and "Rette mich später" ("Save Me Later").
Although Lasso could not quite match the success that "36 Grad" had acquired, reviewers saw the album as an expression of "Berliners' sense of and approach to life in understandable musical language".
In addition to television, 2raumwohnung have also found their way into contemporary German literature: specifically, in Oliver Bendel's "Nachrückende Generationen" ("Coming Generations").
It was produced in Los Angeles, among other places,[31] and the first single "Bei dir bin ich schön" ("With You I'm Beautiful") was released in August of the same year.
[44] In 1992, he and Ralf Hertwig from Palais Schaumburg founded the trance projects Transform and Perry & Rhodan, releasing the single "The Beat Just Goes Straight On & On" (Rising High Records) in 1993, among others.
In June 2010, at the invitation of the Goethe Institute and the German Embassy in Pretoria, 2raumwohnung were guests at the FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa.
