About Isolée

Isolée's Rajko Müller is a minimalist house producer whose throwback tracks evoke the advent of indie electronic pop of the early '80s, as well as ambient techno from a decade on. Thanks to the international success of his single "Beau Mot Plague," Müller became the most famous of the producers associated with a collective of funky, minimalist, experimentalist labels in Germany, including Playhouse, Perlon, and Klang Elektronik (the latter begun early in the '90s by Roman Flügel and Jörn Elling Wuttke of Alter Ego). Müller's first Isolée material appeared on Playhouse in 1997 and at the end of the following year, "Beau Mot Plague" earned an inordinate amount of attention -- it was originally included on the B-side of "Cite Grande Terre" -- from DJs including Roger Sanchez, Danny Tenaglia, and Ben Watt, among others. The full-length Rest followed in 2000, also on Playhouse. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
