Tillmann Uhrmacher (German pronunciation: [ˈtɪlman ˈʔuːɐ̯maxɐ]; 14 May 1967 – 30 May 2011) was a German DJ, producer, and radio host in the field of Electronic dance music.
Tillmann Uhrmacher started his career as a light jockey in a well-known little club, worked in a record shop and went on to become an internationally renowned DJ.
Musical recognition was first achieved by Uhrmacher as a founding member of the electronic group Mysterious Art, along with Michael Krautter, Mike Staab, Nicole Boeúf and Stephanie Trautmann. In 1988, the band's first single "Das Omen" became a number one hit in Germany, selling over 400,000 copies. It spent 29 weeks in the German charts and was the second most successful single of the year. This was followed by a second single "Karma – Omen 2", which also reached the top 10. In 1990, the band supported Madonna's Blond Ambition World Tour.
In June 1990, Uhrmacher began his own radio-show broadcast every Saturday evening on RPR1. Later, this show was broadcast on sunshine live. This ran from its inception in 1990 until 18 March 2011 and is the longest-running electronic music show on German radio. In 1994, he entered into the Guinness Book of Records for an 80-hour non-stop broadcast. In addition, Tillmann Uhrmacher also produced a compilation series called Maximal in the mix. The last issue appeared in April 2009, after the tenth edition.
Uhrmacher published his first solo single "Bassfly" in 1999. In 2001, the single "On the Run" did well on the UK club charts and attained number 16 in the UK singles charts. A collaboration with Mauro Picotto under the pseudonym of Lava brought about two singles Autumn and Spring Time. Between 2000 and 2002, he presented the Tillmann Uhrmacher Show on Hitradio RPR1. He was chosen to be a judge for the German Dance Awards in Hamburg, and also became the stadium speaker of the 1. FC Kaiserslautern Bundesliga football outfit.
