Mathias Schaffhäuser’s around in the techno and house scene since 1994 and currently released his 8th album called "Unequal Equality" which features 10 collaborations between Mathias Schaffhäuser and various artists, including Ware acts like Benjamin Brunn, And.id, Markus Güntner and Ziggy Kinder, Schaffhäuser’s long time hero Alex Smoke, but also new ones such as Lucy and Xhin from Singapore (both with releases on Meerestief Rec.). The album was released on CD on the 2nd of march, and on 2 vinyl EPs on 9th of feb. and 2nd of march.

Past releases of Mathias appeared on WIR Recordings, Lebensfreude, on Persistencebit Rec., Resopal Red, Force Inc., Multicolor, Definitive Records (house sub-label of Plus-8), Blaou Sounds, Frisbee Tracks and some others. In 1997 he started his own record label WARE which released 78 twelve inches until now (as of Febuary 2009).

2001 saw his club hit "Hey Little Girl", 2002 "Musik ohne Bass" entered the clubs (Force Inc.). In April 2005 he released his album "Coincidance" (Ware CD 14/Ware 52). The title track was remixed by Trentemöller and by Dapayk (Mo’s Ferry Productions, Dapayk & Padberg/Ware 54). December 2005 saw his 12" "Lost Vox" with a remix by Pan-Pot, in febuary 2006 the next remix 12" "more alternatives" was released with a mix by Audio Werner.

In January 2007 Mathias released his 2nd remix album "RE:2" on Multicolor Records with exclusiv mixes for Pan-Pot, Dapayk & Padberg and DJ Good Groove. The year ended with his long time project "God Is Dead", inspired by the “Manifesto of Evolutionary Humanism” ("Das Manifest des evolutionären Humanismus"), written by german author Michael Schmidt-Salomon. Electric Indigo says “Thanks for this great record! Music and concept are excellent. I’ve always been all for an evaluation and revitalization of the enlightenment process :-) Congrats!”

On the 11. of Febuary 2008 our jubilee EP "10 Jahre Ware" / "10 Years Of Ware" appeared on the scene with 2 epic tracks, one by Ziggy Kinder and the other by Mathias. Both tracks reflect the Ware history by using samples of the the label’s past 10 years + fit them together with new + unique ideas to 2 new exciting monster tunes.

In year one after Ware's 10th anniversary Mr. Schaffhäuser looks back on a veritable live tour which led him to Buenos Aires, Offenbach, Singapore, Rostock and Trieste. What combines these illustrous places, you may ask? Everywhere was absolutely super cool! Schaffhäuser's set kept throwing audiences off the curve. I mean, who squeezes minimal sounds, spontaneous vocal performances, crude cover versions and melodica solos into a one-hour set, without constantly staring at a computer screen? But, from nothing nothing comes. Even before 1993 (does anyone remember this?) Schaffhäuser sang and played guitar in several bands, so he knows how to rock the house. And that works even better with a big enough stage and wireless microphones! Though another fine house track is never far, after all, Schaffhäuser wouldn't neglect his traditional Ware style, no matter how much he rocks.

Schaffhäuser’s motto at the turntables is: Purism sucks! The quality of the music is what’s important, not sheer functionality and a perfect mix. That is: at times his sets can be rather varied from Ware-style music, nice + smooth neo-house and funky minimal to thumping techno. His current favourites still come from labels such as Cargo Edition, Ostwind, Islands & Islets/Sthlm, Freunde Tonträger, Diynamic Rec., Mobilee, Vakant, Circus Company - just to name a few.

Mathias has produced remixes for Goldfrapp („Twist“, Mute Rec.), Steve Bug („Lover Boy“, Poker Flat Rec.), Misc. („The Magic Number“, Sender Rec.), [A]pendics.Shuffle („No Reductions“, Adjunct Rec.), Luomo („Tessio“, Force Tracks/Force Inc.), J.C.A. ("I Begin To Wonder", Deep Cukture), Northern Lite („Trusting Blind“, 1st decade Rec.), Faust and many many more.
