With an impressive profile built over more than 20 years, the music and live performances of Berlin's dance icon Alle Farben (birth name Frans Zimmer) have been elevated to new heights with each step, now reaching the top echelons of dance exports ``Made in Germany``.
His consistent prominence has led to a string of hit singles amassing over 2 billion streams, 25 million Shazams, and more than 35 diamond, platinum, and gold certifications across Europe and beyond. Simultaneously, Alle Farben has landed 15+ airplay top-10 hits in Europe, including five number-one hits in Germany and 14 number one placements all around Europe.
More recently, in 2023, Alle Farben released a significant number of hit singles, including his smash hit „Good Morning“ with Timmy Trumpet, which was appointed the official anthem of the Parookaville Festival 2023. In January 2024, Alle Farben continued his tireless output, collaborating with Lewis Thompson and Mae Muller on „Love Hurt Repeat,“ which also became the soundtrack for the popular German television show „Ich bin ein Star…Holt mich hier raus!“.

Why are you organizing REMIX.RUHR?
Digitization, new media and worldwide networking via www have also influenced the work of public music schools, and not just since Corona. The music schools in the Ruhr region are determined to take advantage of the opportunities that digitization offers for music and music learning and are expanding their range of courses for those interested in music. Together in the “RuhrMusikschulen” network, the institutions are developing innovative forms of teaching such as instrumental lessons via video chat or creating modern courses – for example for electronic music production. The REMIX.ruhr contest is part of the larger overall concept for the digitalization of music schools – its idea remains committed to the fundamental goal of music schools: Bringing people and music together and offering professional support in the process.
