Booka Shade is a German electronic music duo consisting of Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier, who have carved out a significant niche in the landscape of progressive house and techno since their formation in the early 2000s. Renowned for their rich, synth-driven melodies and complex rhythms, the pair have a background in classical music, which infuses their electronic productions with a distinctive, emotive quality. They truly shot to international acclaim with their breakthrough album 'Movements' in 2006, featuring the iconic tracks "Mandarine Girl" and "Body Language," the latter of which became a ubiquitous hit in dance clubs around the world.

Over the years, Booka Shade has remained at the forefront of the electronic music scene, continuously experimenting and evolving their sound. Their most recent releases, such as "Wild Life / So Dope" and the 2023 remix of their classic "In White Rooms," exhibit their ability to stay relevant and influential by revisiting and reimagining their earlier works, ensuring that their legacy not only endures but also adapts with the times. The '20 Years Reworked' collection is a testament to their enduring appeal and innovative spirit, inviting contemporary producers to reinterpret iconic tracks from their extensive catalogue. Booka Shade's prolific output and lasting impact underscore their status as vital figures in modern electronic music.
