Magnum 38 a.k.a. Oliver Greschke
MAGNUM 38 is a Berlin, Germany-based electronic musician and sound designer. His music could be described as highly energetic dance music with breakbeat/rock elements, delivered with an in-your-face punk rock attitude. This explosive combination makes for extremely enthusiastic live performances. Magnum 38 has issued several releases on Shitkatapult label in Berlin. At the moment he is working on an album which will be released in autumn 2007. In June a 12 inch single with his new smash hit “Disco Toni” will hit the stores.
