Zweiraumwohnung

2raumwohnung are a German electro-pop duo that was formed in 2000 in Berlin. Its two members are singer, Inga Humpe, and her life partner, Tommi Eckart. They reached the high point of their career to date with the album "36 Grad" ("36 Degrees"), which remained in the German music charts for a total of 33 weeks. Their most successful single has been the album's eponymous title song. 2raumwohnung have also appeared internationally, e.g. at Expo 2010 and as a DJ team. The band releases its music on their own record label it-sounds.

2raumwohnung first met in East Berlin where they both settled shortly after German reunification in 1990. The band's first appearance was in Sternradio in 2001, a legendary club at Alexanderplatz. Before their formation as a band, the duo had been collaborating as a studio project, releasing their music under a pseudonym.

Recordings from that period were used in advertisements, such as for Imperial Tobacco's "Cabinet" brand ("Wir trafen uns in einem Garten" ("We Met in a Garden")) and for HypoVereinsbank. The latter used the song "2 von Millionen von Sternen" ("Two Out of Millions of Stars") as a jingle in a TV advertisement for the introduction of the Euro, although the wider public remained unaware of the song's performers at that point in time.

The group released its debut album under the title "Kommt zusammen" ("Come Together") on July 2, 2001. It included a total of 13 songs and was ultimately released by Goldrush on the record label BMG. The reviews were mostly positive and ranged from a "new feeling of lightness" to "esoteric children's disco". Due to successful sales, a remixed version of "Kommt zusammen", which combined house and electro elements, was also produced in January 2002. "In wirklich" ("In Real") appeared in September of the same year and ruthered the band's success that had been established with the debut album. Although some critics felt it was lacking the characteristic charm of their previous album, it nevertheless quickly rose to #5 in the German charts. 2raumwohnung had the following to say during the release of "In wirklich":
