Mickie Krause & Matze Knop

Pop star Mickie Krause was born Michael Engels in Wettringen, Germany, in 1974. His breakthrough single, "Zehn Nackte Frisösen," came out in 1999, and was followed by the full-length Ok Folgendes. In 2003 Krause Alarm: Das Beste Partyalbum der Welt came out, and three years later more of Krause's synth-filled Europop was heard on Wie Blei in Den Regalen. ~ Marisa Brown
