The Sonic Subjunkies were featured in the online tribute from BBC's Radio 1 to John Peel. During these years Herrmann and Bassdee were also working as radio DJs at 98.8 KISS FM Berlin where they hosted the drum and bass show Radio Massive.

Together with the Manchester-based Shlom Sviri Herrmann founded the label City Centre Offices (CCO) in 1998, that has released recordings from various acts, including Casino Versus Japan, I'm Not A Gun, and Ulrich Schnauss. Since 2000 Herrmann also runs the small Berlin-based house label Just Another Beat.

In 1997 Herrmann met Christian Kleine during one of his radio shows and both founded Herrmann & Kleine in 1999. A few years later, in 2003 Herrmann, Hans Möller and Michael Zorn founded the project Boy Robot, with the debut album Glamorizing Corporate Lifestyle released at CCO. Together with Zorn he also released under the moniker No Movement No Sound No Memories.
