The first Zombie Nation EP was released in the spring of 1999 on DJ Hell's label, International DeeJay Gigolo Records. A remix of the song "Kernkraft 400" on this debut release reached high chart positions all over the world, including number 2 in the United Kingdom.[5]
Since 2001, Florian Senfter has released tracks on different labels under Zombie Nation and his other pseudonym John Starlight.[6] In 2002, he did not renew his contract with International DeeJay Gigolo Records and started his own label, Dekathlon Records, where he released his second album "Absorber" in 2003. In early 2005, the new sublabel UKW Records was launched with John Starlight's John's Addiction Part 1 followed by Paeng Paeng 12" by Zombie Nation which was recorded a few months later. Sven Väth realized the potential of the song at first glance and licensed it for his Cocoon Recordings imprint.
The third album Black Toys which was released in 2006 on UKW Records Zombie Nation is a bass dominated soundscape[7] from tech-hop[8] to funk-laden house.[8]
In 2007, Zombie Nation collaborated with Tiga under the pseudonym ZZT on the recording "Lower State of Consciousness".
In December 2009 and January 2010, Zombie Nation created an orchestrated track, and Florian tells the story like so:
One cold day in December I had a brainwave. An idea for internet democratic music, made as a collaboration with my boys and girls on Facebook and Twitter. If you're reading this you probably already know that it is my declared passion to mash samples together on my MPC, so the logical first step was to issue the callout: "send me your sounds!"[10]
In the week that followed, my dropbox was inundated with whistles, basses and burps. The next step was to split the sounds into categories and present them in 10 polls, and then open the voting up to the world. I created loops from the most popular sounds, and then opened them up to another popularity contest. The people spoke, once again, and chose their favourite five loops. In the following weeks, between sessions taking my beloved MPC all over the world, I worked out an arrangement. A song! Part of this work was done streaming video from the studio, with about three hundred people watching and contributing to the decision making process. After a final round of feedback on the arrangement through SoundCloud, the song was finalised. Tada! The last step was to make the parts available to the public, so anyone could have a bash and submit a remix. We selected the six most interesting and unique remixes, and included them in the package.[11] Now only one thing was missing – a name! This was one element of the project that was beyond the capabilities of online democracy. The polling system hit its technical limits. So I decided to discuss the name with my new studio buddies, the people behind the original sounds submitted! And then at last, we had reached the end of the road.
This project was not an attempt to make a logical song, a marketable piece of music, or even one that would appeal to most. Rather, the idea was to produce a democratic piece of music; one in which anyone could take part, and influence the outcome. And I am happy to say that it worked out great!.[12]
— Florian Senfter
The result was a track by "Zombie Nation and Friends" titled "The Mind of Many".
