Was reading an article recently in a summer issue of a German techno mag
called DE-BUG (which is a pretty decent read, if you can read German),
with an article on Funkstoerung. In this article, it stated that Chris
and Michael hooked up with The Designers Republic after Simon Pyke's
(aka Freeform) brother joined the design firm.
Dunno if this was general knowledge already, but it was news to me...
