Ellen Allien
Ellen Allien (born in Berlin as Ellen Fraatz) is a German electronic musician, music producer, and the founder of BPitch Control music label. Her album Stadtkind was dedicated to the city of Berlin, and she cites the culture of reunified Berlin as one of the main inspirations for her music. She sings in both German and English. Her music is best described as a blend of IDM and Techno music, which is dance-floor oriented and has noticeable experimental elements. She currently lives in Berlin.
History
Ellen Allien was born and grew up in West Berlin. During 1989, she lived in London where she first came into contact with electronic music. When she later returned to Berlin, electronic music had become increasingly popular in Germany. In 1992, she became resident DJ at the Bunker, Tresor, and E-Werk. She started her own show on the Berlin radio station Kiss FM and created her own record label, calling them both "Braincandy". Due to problems with distribution, she gave the Braincandy label up in 1997 and instead began organizing parties with the name, "Pitch Control". Allien created the label BPitch Control in 1999.

Allein Allein
by: Polarkreis 18He's living in a universe
A heart away
Inside of him, there's no-one else
Just a heart away
The time will come to be blessed
A heart away
To celebrate his loneliness
Wir sind allein
Allein allein
Allein allein
Allein allein
Allein allein
We look into faces
Wait for a sign
Wir sind allein
Allein allein
Allein allein
A prisoner behind the walls
A heart away
Wants to lead his universe
Just a heart away
The time has come for us to laugh
A heart away
To celebrate our loneliness
Wir sind allein
Allein allein
Allein allein
Allein allein
Allein allein
We look into faces
Wait for a sign
Wir sind allein
Allein allein
Allein allein
Allein allein
Allein allein
Allein allein
Allein allein
Sind wir allein
Allein allein
Allein allein
Wir sind allein
Allein allein
