BIOGRAPHIE The Panacea:

Bei Betrachten des künstlerischen Outputs von Panaceas könnte man meinen, der junge Mann kommt aus einem rauhen Umfeld. Weit gefehlt, denn Mathis Mootz, so sein bürgerlicher Name, ist Spross einer den schönen Künsten zugewandten Familie aus Oberhessen.
Sein Vater ist der Maler und Bildhauer Eberhard Volker Mootz und seine Mutter heißt Thesy Mootz-Augustin. Diese bestitzt einen akademischen Abschluss in Ethnographie, Folklore und Kunstgeschichte. Der Apfel fällt nicht weit vom Pferd, wenn auch das Ergebnis etwas anders als erwartet ausfällt.

In seiner Jugend erhält Mootz Junior eine Ausbildung in Sprache und Artikulation, Klavier und Flöte. Später wird er in den berühmten Windsbacher Knabenchor als Erster Sopran aufgenommen. Nach dem Schulabschluss macht Panacea eine Ausbildung zum Toningenieur an der Frankfurter School of Audio Engineering.

1996 erhält er einen Exklusivertrag mit Force Inc. bzw. dessen Unterlabel Position Chrome, einer Plattenfirma aus der Mainmetropole. Der Aufstieg zu Deutschlands Chefholzer in Sachen Drum`n`Bass nimmt seinen Lauf. Unter anderem beeinflusst von Alec Empire, Frontmann von Atari Teenage Riot, und der beiden Londoner DJs Ed Rush und Nico, damals noch beim No U-Turn Label, treibt Panacea zusammen mit seinem Kumpel Cativo aus Würzburg die Entwicklung von harten Beats Made in Germany voran.

Heute werden seine Produktionen in einem Atemzug mit den britischen Kollegen Bad Company genannt, mit denen er schon zahlreiche Gigs absolviert hat. Nach einem dieser Autritte schrottet Herr Mootz seine Kiste, einen Porsche Boxster. Anlass genug, seine aktuelle Platte "German Engineering" zu nennen. Das Ergebnis dieses Crashes ist im Booklet der CD festgehalten.

Unter dem Pseudonym M² wuchert er in den Gefilden minimaler Clicks'n'Cuts, als Brasilia versucht Panacea sich auf Caipirinha Records (USA) eher in elektronischer Musik. Andere Alter Egos sind Redeemer und Disorder, die beide mit einem Kollegen namens Problem Child auch unter Drum'n' Bass geführt werden.



PRESS

Panacea emerged in 1996 with his massive full-length ?Low Profile Darkness? - a landmark debut that smashed headfirst into drum & bass by musically invigorating and unifying movements that artists such as Alec Empire (DHR) and Ed Rush & Nico (No U-Turn) had lead in developing. Massive interest by the press followed, hyping the controversial musician. The leading member of the ?Position Chrome?-collective, Panacea has gone on to release over 23 EPs and 5 LPs.?Low Profile Darkness? was followed by ?Twisted Designs?, using a more technoid sound. It was licensed to ?Industrial Strength? in the USA, the prolific label run by hardcore-godfather Lenny Dee. Due to the sucess of the record Panacea started touring in the states, where he found an audience obsessed with his sound. Returning to germany he then finished ?Phoenix Metabolism? an album very much influenced by hiphop culture. ?German Engineering?, released in 2000 follows after one of Panacea's most ambitious years ever while ?Underground Superstardom? in 2002 sums up the metamorphosis of the eccentric and extraordinary artist and introducing collaborations with nyc-based female ?DJ Siren? and close friend ?Dose D.?, a superb berlin dnb-dj. Also the video for the single ?The Evil Seed?, released with the lp, causes quite some irritation using the talents of actress Nora Tschirner who is in germany well known for being an mtv-vj and a soapstar!!

Further credits include the critically acclaimed ?Architettura? installment on the US label Caipirinha as well as releases under the minimalist guise M2 on Mille Plateaux, leading industrial label Ant-Zen and Hands Recordings which is home to industrial-legends ?Winterkaelte?, his collaborative project Disorder 2nd Gen with fellow Position Chrome artist Problem Child and the superb 12" double pack release, followed lin 2003 by the full-lenght CD ?Hardcore owes us Money? under The Redeemer moniker with Ambush Recordings DJ Scud. Furthermore Panacea released records as ?Rich Kid? on the berlin-based label ?Ad Noizeam?, DJ Scud`s legendary ?Ambush?-imprint and again Ant-Zen. a great deal of work and passion in `02 went into his debut as composer for ?Fatal Attractions?, a radical modern-dance theater by christoph winkler, internationally acclaimed choreograph. Debuting in berlin it chaught the attention of the ?Goethe-Institute?, for which winkler produced ?Hinter den Linien? in `03 using the talents of Panacea again who found just another way of making his work more prolific. Further into 2003 he started collaborating with one of his heroes of old ?Luna-C?, the notorious UK-Producer who entered the british charts in `91 with his massive hit ?Sesame Street?. The hardcore-hero then founded ?Kniteforce?, a label well-know to those who followed the history of hardcore/jungle in england, where Panacea will release two 12? later this year. Also ?Position Chrome?, strengthened by a new distribution-deal with SRD in the UK, will release a double 12? by him in late september where he once again teams up with ?Dose D.?

One of the hardest working and varied musicians in the world, Panacea succeeds again and again with his furious drum 'n' bass.
