Mouse on Mars is a duo from Germany (Jan St. Werner, from Düsseldorf, and Andi Toma, from Köln) who have been making electronic music since 1993. Their music is a quirky and sometimes kitschy blend of techno, trance, disco, and ambient with a heavy dollop of analog synth sounds. Their music also utilises live conventional rock instruments such as drums, bass and guitar. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

History
Their first album, Vulvaland, was released in 1994 on the British record label Too Pure. This is considered their "straightest" and most focused album, mixing ambient and techno. Their second album, Iaora Tahiti, has a much more playful feel and encompasses a wider variety of electronic dance genres. Too Pure is a London, United Kingdom based independent record label that was formed in 1990 by Richard Roberts and Paul Cox. ...

Over the years, their sound has increased in warmth and playfulness. On their fourth album Niun Niggung (released on Domino Records in 2000), the live instruments start to become more prominent. Idiology, their fifth album, has continued this trend while their sixth album Radical Connector, has a more "pop" feel. Both of these albums also increasingly include vocals, primarily by touring drummer Dodo Nkishi. Their sound seems to have taken a large veer away from the stylistics of their last two efforts on their newest album Varcharz which has a firmly experimental electronic foundation. Domino Records is an independent record label based in London, United Kingdom. ...
Mouse on Mars regularly perform live as a three-piece, with Toma & St. Werner augmented by drummer Dodo Nkishi. In 2005, they released their first live album, titled Live 04.
