Named after a close friend of Gerrit, a radio operator (which translates, in German, as "Funker") in the German armed forces, Funker Vogt have already released three full length CDs, one twin EP, one EP, and one single since their 1995 inception. They have appeared on no less than eight compilations (including Electropolis, Electro Club Attack: Shot Two, New Violent Breed, and We Came To Dance 2000) and were tapped by Front242 to do one of the re-mixes on the Headhunter 2000 CD. Often compared to bands such as Leaether Strip and :wumpscut:, Funker Vogt 's aggressive electronic style is based upon old EBM strategies, albeit mixed with more modern electro and industrial elements, not unlike when KMFDM were in their prime. It is this sound that often makes people refer to their music as being "back to the basics" of the genre. Stripped down power play electronics, Funker Vogt utilize a strong sense of melody within powerful rhythms, emphatic dance beats and distorted vocals.

Metropolis Records has released all of Funker Vogt's full length CDs (Thanks for Nothing, We Came to Kill, Maschine Zeit), as well as their double EPs (Killing Time Again, Execution Tracks, and T), and the Gunman single. Funker Vogt have taken the world by storm, with their hard hitting dance floor anthems and aggressive lyrics. In fall 2001, Funker Vogt took the United States with a tour de force in eight cities. To coincide with the tour, Metropolis Records and Funker Vogt released a special worldwide exclusive EP, Code 7477. This seven song CD featured mixes of "Funker Vogt," "Funker Vogt 2nd Unit," "Black Hole," and an unreleased track "Taxi Zum Mars."

For 2002, their newest album, Survivor, is the first to feature live guitar in two tracks, as well as Funker Vogt’s first ballad. Offering a new and refreshing complexity not seen in previous releases, Survivor’s theme paints the future in a rather dark scenario. The titular hero being the last of mankind, as well as symbolizing a reflection in the history of Funker Vogt, who remain one of the last true aggro-industrial acts. The cover shows a talisman (the Survivor’s dog tag, as well as Funker Vogt’s logo) sinking into the sea to illustrate the Survivor’s (and band’s) endurance to outlast even time. The theme runs throughout the artwork as well as being present in the lyrics where the Survivor not only tells about how his life was but how that of the listener’s was. Its up to the listener, the Survivor, to decide whether or not the shoe fits.
