Subject:: (idm) Funkstorung & Wu Tang Clan - How did that happen?

I was listening to Funkstorung's Additional Productions yesterday and it suddenly hit me: How did that happen? It just seems like such a strange combination. Nerdy German techno guys and the Wu Tang Clan. Does anyone know what led to this meeting of the minds? Are Funkstorung big Wu Tang fans? Is RZA a Funkstorung fan? Or was it strictly a business arrangement by the record company guys? German techno guys seem to have a weird attraction to Wu Tang. Alec Empire sampled the first Wu Tang album like a mofo on his "No Safety Pin Sex" and "Funk Riot Beat" EPs on DHR.

I believe the current issue of Grooves magazine answers this question:) but in a nutshell it was arranged because one of the Funk guys worked for the company who puts out Wutang peace Nate

They also mentioned they didn't really like the original, nor did they like the original "Tried by 12" track... darren
