Marc Acardipane

Marc Trauner, known professionally as Marc Acardipane, was born on April 7, 1969, in Frankfurt, Germany. He began his music career in 1985 and is considered a pioneer of the hardcore techno style. In 1990, Trauner released the single "We Have Arrived" under the pseudonym Mescalinum United, marking a pivotal moment in the development of techno hardcore. He founded Planet Core Productions (PCP) with Thorsten Lambart, releasing hundreds of tracks from 1989 to 1996.

In 2020, he released the compilation, The Most Famous Unknown.
