Links To Peel
Peel first heard of Trauner's work with Mescalinum United, who released a single called We Have Arrived, which was played by the DJ between 1992 and 1993. A remix of the track was done by Aphex Twin, one of Peel's favourite electronic artists. The song is often regarded as the first hardcore techno track. Other projects from Trauner that Peel played included Pilldriver, who gained airplay on his show in the summer of 1993.
