Abfahrt Hinwil is an enigmatic electronic music act, a collaboration between two influential figures in the IDM (Intelligent Dance Music) scene: Chris Cunningham (not to be confused with the director of the same name) and Martin Haidinger, who is better known for his work as Gimmik. The duo's name is a nod to the Formula One racing circuit in Hinwil, Switzerland, which hints at the fusion of precision and pace present in their musical output. Abfahrt Hinwil blends complex rhythms with emotive melodies, resulting in a sound that is both introspective and driving.

Their debut, the "Logatech EP," was released in 2000 on Toytronic, a label co-founded by Cunningham. This set the stage for their work, characterized by its sophisticated beat programming and lush synth textures. Following releases like "Programm 2" allowed the duo to further refine their distinctive approach to electronic music, with an artful balance between heady, abstract components and more accessible, harmonious elements. "Links Berge Rechts Seen" is another hallmark of their talent in crafting soundscapes that are at once intricate and harmoniously pleasing, reaffirming Abfahrt Hinwil's place in the IDM world where the cerebral and the emotive intersect. Despite a relatively low output and a veil of mystery surrounding their activities, Abfahrt Hinwil has garnered a cult following, revered for their deep and cerebral contributions to electronic music.
