Caspar Pound  / artists (C)

Massively influential producer, remixer, and label-boss of Rising High 
Records, Caspar Pound was a direct descendant of the famous and 
controversial poet Ezra Pound. Originally from Peterborough, he shot to 
fame at age 16 with the single 'Total Confusion', and then founded the 
Rising High and Sapho labels. As 'The Hypnotist' he became a star in 
Germany, and played at the Love Parade to thousands of ravers. He 
licensed the Harthouse label to the UK, pioneering German Trance music, 
a genre then unknown in the UK; and licensed Underground Resistance for 
their debut UK release. He also kickstarted the careers of many 
Electronica heroes from Mixmaster Morris to Luke Vibert.

Caspar Pound passed away at his home on 30 April 2004, age 33. Not from 
his struggle with brain cancer as is commonly reported but of 
complication resulting from an enlarged heart.
