Zombie Nation - Kernkraft 400 (1999)


Zombie Nation is a German techno and electro project of the Munich based DJ and producer Florian Senfter (a.k.a. Splank!).

The first Zombie Nation record contained the song "Kernkraft 400", German for "Nuclear Energy 400", which is a remix of a tune from the 1984 Commodore 64 game Lazy Jones by David Whittaker called "Stardust". Soon after the first independent release in 1999, the song became an underground hit in European clubs, and was licensed to various countries including a more commercial remix version by Italian remix-producer DJ Gius (also known as Technoboy). The song "Kernkraft 400" is often mistakingly believed to be called "Zombie Nation" due to its only lyrics: "Zombie, Zombie, Zombie, Zombie Nation." Huge in New York City at mega clubs like Twilo and Sound factory but since then way overplayed...I first heard the track when it was played by DJ junior Vasquez at Twilo, the reaction from the crowd was instant and amazing. While not something i would play today, it still ranks as one of the best dance records ever.
