Biography
Uwe Schmidt (aka Señor Coconut; born in Frankfurt, Germany) is a German DJ and producer of electronic music.
Uwe Schmidt, also known as Atom Heart, as well as a number of other aliases, produced dance music during the first half of the 1990s.
In 1994, Uwe started his own label, Rather Interesting with the aim of developing music that doesn't follow the "traditional paths of electronic music".
His next release, in 2000, was the delightful Latin-Kraftwerk fusion of "El Baile Alemán". The album featured several Kraftwerk classics reworked with Latin instrumentation and rhythm. "El Baile Alemán" was intended as a salute to, and a parody of Kraftwerk as evidenced by the intro to "Autobahn" which featured the sound of a car that wouldn't start. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uwe_Schmidt [Aug 2005]
