Faderhead

Founding Member: Sami Mark Yahya.
Biography:
Professionally known by his stage name, Faderhead, Sami Mark Yahya is a German electronic music producer from Hamburg, Germany. Musically, his work tends toward heavy EBM club tracks and futurepop with elements of big beat and techno. Lyrically, Faderhead is known for his witty tongue-in-cheek, self-aggrandizing humor, that occasionally delves into more serious, melancholy themes.

In 2020, Faderhead released the “2077 Cyberpunk” EP. A longtime cyberpunk fan, Sami said about the EP, “I’ve always been a fan of Neuromancer as a kid. I read the book and played the computer game. When I heard in November that the release date of the Cyberpunk 2077 game was moved again, I decided to write a few songs to shorten the waiting time.”

Video Game:
A video game based on the music video for “Fistful of Fuck You” was created and released in 2014. The Beats of Rage game engine was used to program and run the game. Its design was based on images created by the music video’s artists and programmed by Trev Nethers of the New York-based industrial band, Social Autopsy. The game pays strict attention to the music video’s content, allowing players to relive the music video first hand. It also includes playable characters, enemies and levels not featured in the music video. The game can be downloaded via Faderhead‘s official website.
