Random Industries is one of many monikers employed by German electronic music producer Sebastian Meissner, who used this particular alias to release his solo debut album in 2000 before switching to the similarly named Random_Inc alias. Born on September 27, 1969, in Czenstochowa, Poland, Meissner became involved with electronic music while living in Frankfurt, Germany, where he met Achim Szepanski, the founder of the seminal German techno label Force Inc. and its several offshoots. In 1999 Meissner made his recording debut in partnership with Ekkehard Ehlers as Autopoieses, La Vie à Noir, which was released on Szepanski's Mille Plateaux label. In the years that followed, he released a series of solo albums under a number of monikers: Random Industries (Selected Random Works, 2000), Random_Inc (Jerusalem: Tales Outside the Framework of Orthodoxy, 2001; Walking in Jerusalem, 2002), Bizz Circuits (The Very Best of Bizz Circuits, 2002), and Klimek (Milk Honey, 2004; Music to Fall Asleep, 2006; Dedications, 2007). ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi
