Thomas Andrezak

Tekkno
DJs.

In 1987, Andrezak changed his name and moved from

techno culture in Germany.[3]

In 1990, he wrote for the specialized magazine

closed.

When the Tresor club opened in March 1991, he became a resident DJ there. He was a main guest in almost all the major raves of his time (Mayday, Nature One, Tribal Gathering, etc.). In 1992, he devoted himself to the early breakbeat movement.[4] His appearance at the 1994 Love Parade caused great sensation[citation needed] when he opened the parade on board of the "Love Truck", a parading car made with retired Russian tanks.

The following year, Tanith distanced himself from the Mayday raves and Low Spirit records, because he was unhappy with the way that he was treated as an artist at the Mayday parties.[citation needed] He closed this stage playing in his act with the prologue of the song "Haus der Lüge" (House of Lies) from Einstürzende Neubauten.[5]

In 1997, Tanith and the breakbeat label Timing Recordings released two albums, T-A-N-I-T-H and Still.[6] His camouflage look was a 1990s trademark in Germany.
