Haujobb (not to be confused with the demogroup of the same name) formed as a trio in 1993 in Germany, with B. Junemann being the third member to the current duo of Dejan and Daniel. Their first release was on cassette only, the now hopelessly out of print Drift Wheeler. This embryonic issue brought them to the attention of Off Beat records, who released their first CD, Homes and Gardens, later that same year.
Three bands by this name encompassing electronica, punk and jazz: 1. In 1997 Daniel Myer (haujobb, hexer, clear vision etc.) and Andreas Meyer (Forma Tadre) released "-273°C", the first NEWT album. Inspired by electronica and drum'n'bass artists such as Aphex Twin, Photek and Autechre. NEWT was released by Quantum Loop Recordings in the USA. Gradually, NEWT evolved into a more cinematic and atmospheric project: Cold, desolate and harsh sounds leading to abstract, "hyper-kinetic electronica" producing "forbiddingly dark auralscapes of the strangest sort".
