only the cvs i found on the citizen records site:

Terence Fixmer, born in Lille (north of France at the Belgium border) in 1972, discovered the EBM (ELECTRONIC BODY MUSIC) when he was 15 and became a NITZER EBB-, FRONT 242-, KLINIK-, - AND DAF- fan. At the beginning of the 89-90's he was a party freaker and his interest for the electronic sound increased with the apparition of the New-Beat and Techno in Belgium. At this time he started to buy records and " flashed" on VORTREX from FINAL EXPOSURE(+8). In 1992, he decided to produce his own music and he started to throw parties called "Cosmos" and "Space" in a club called PYRAMIDE. One and a half year later he released his first EP on the Belgium label Diki Rec/hit the beat. In 1993 he moved to Rotterdam for his studies and produced some other EPs for different labels, under different pseudonyms. In 1995, he worked with his old school mate EMMANUEL TOP.

But all this was just the beginning: in 1998 Terence decided to start his own label PLANETE ROUGE RECORDS. The second release on it (after Gemini 9 EP) was the first one under his real name: TERENCE FIXMER :"Electrostatic". The 3 tracker was played by the biggest DJ's world wide, such as DAVE CLARKE, SVEN VATH, JEFF MILLS, DJ HELL etc. "Electrostatic" was voted among the biggest tune of the year 1999 by many magazines and DJ's. In the same year Terence remixed DJ HELL´S "This is for you" (Disko B) and released his 2nd EP on Gigolo: Electric Vision. At the same time he presents his first live act with SVEN VÄTH AT COCOON-CLUB in Frankfurt.

Terence finally remixed SVEN VÄTH´S: "Ein Waggon voller Geschichten" (VIRGIN), which was voted to the 10 best remixes of the year 2000 by different magazines., Terence had played live now all over the world in the best events and clubs (MAYDAY, NATURE ONE, LOVEPARADE,AMNESIA, TRESOR, U60311, FUSE, REX, TRAX ...). He managed to transmit in his live performances the particular energy he got in his EPs; a kind of full power EBM and Techno!

In 2001 Terence moves to Berlin, released the Body Pressure EP on GIGOLO, of course another floor burner. In October 2001 he finally releases his first full-length-album "Muscle Machine", unique Fixmer-style, straight, high-energy, 7 dancefloor-tunes. The album reach again many top ten charts and has been voted the best album N°3 for 2001 in Groove mag.. Also he remixed Dave Clarke's "Compass" on Skint Records. And Nitzer Ebb for Novamute. 2001 he relaunched his label Planete Rouge Records, a label with only few releases per year with a special direction & style.

Terence has worked on a new album project “Between the Devil” with Douglas mac Carthy, the singer of Nitzer Ebb. So the past meets the present for an explosive cocktail. Release of the second album during 2004.

and on john lord fonda:

In July 2003, the CiTiZen crew receives an email from "JLF" with a mp3 file attached.
An unknown track, which caught Vitalic's attention, but no name, nothing.

We have tried to get in touch with this mysterious person, but no results.
We had no news for three months.
By the end of September, a mini CD is sent, with only three letters on it: J.L.F.

Three tracks this time: "So Far Away "- "Far away from me" - "Looser."
We have the titles but no informations about JLF.
At this time, we still don't know if it's a band or a solo project: On two of the three tracks, a woman and a man are singing.

Another CD followed by the end of December on which there are the "Music..." tracks, and two others "Universal Machine" and "George".

We learn that JLF is fond of electronics, and that he has sent his music to CiTiZen only.

His real name is Cyril Thévenard, and had already worked with Choice Records in 1997, releasing the Vulcan EP.
Less tuff, but still radical, the Volt Age EP signs his come back on the dancefloor, six years after.

We are discovering a thirty-years-old man, who's originality and atistic identity are very marked with a stunning live act.

A new citizen has joined us, for your body and hears' pleasure!

theres also this clipping, but alas, i dont speak french

i like their style, and between them and vitalic its unique, apparently. its hard to find good stoic ebm techno without goth vocals or rush/liebing style hi-hat orgies

what about david caretta and savvas pascalidis? too fun??

the carretta and pascalidis sets ive heard are more on the italo side, and pascalidis has gone minimal recently. not that i mind either, they just dont have as much searing ebm ozone as fonda and fixmer

the french have been owning techno for awhile now.
