Electribe 101 (stylized as electribe 101 on most record sleeves, Electribe – 1.0.1. on early releases) was an England based group active from 1988 to 1992, playing dark, psychedelic, bluesy, electronic soulful house, and fronted by female German singer, Billie Ray Martin (real name: Birgit Dieckmann). After 1992, the boys formed The Groove Corporation and Billie went solo.
Links to Peel[]
Peel played their single, 'Tell Me When the Fever Ended' and was so enthusiastic about it that he invited the group to do a session for his show in October 1989 where they performed four tracks. After 1989, Peel seemed to have lost interest in them and the group disbanded in 1992. However, after the dissolution of the group, all the male members later formed Groove Corporation and Peel played some tracks from the group in the early 90's. He never played any of Billie Ray Martin's solo material.
