Ultra-trendy New York electro collective Fischerspooner have signed a "seven figure" record deal with Ministry Of Sound, according to a report in the latest issue of Music Week.

The group first appeared on DJ Hell's Gigolo label last year with their Kernkraft 400 style anthem Emerge, and don't even like music, frontman Casey Spooner told Skrufff's Benedetta Ferraro.

"Music interests me, but my area has more to do with popular entertainment," he explained. "I never sing live, I always lip synch."

Even more intriguingly, the group's song writer Warren Fischer was totally ignorant about dance music when he started collaborating with his old art school friend, Casey revealed.

"Warren knew nothing about electronic music, he didn't listen to it and didn't even like it. In fact, he doesn't like dance music, and to this day really despises it."
