Frank Tomiczek (born 30 December 1968), better known as Da Hool, is a German DJ and producer. It was in Bottrop that he first honed his skills as a DJ, and by 1990 he was an acclaimed performer in his native country.
Musical career
His early tracks include "B.O.T.T.R.O.P.", "It's a Dream Song", and "Rave Nation". In 1996, he released "Meet Her at the Love Parade", which (when re-released a year later on the German label Kosmo Records) became a worldwide hit, selling over six million copies.2 "Meet Her at the Love Parade" reached No. 15 on the UK Singles Chart in February 1998 (Germany #4, France #4, Netherlands #11, Ireland #7).3 Further UK charting singles included "Bora Bora" (UK #35, 1998) and "Meet Her at the Love Parade 2001" (UK #11, 2001).4
