MDFMK was formed by two members of KMFDM, Sascha Konietzko and Tim Skold. Lucia Cifarelli, formerly of the band Drill, later rounded out the trio.
Due to differences between some of KMFDM's band members about the band's future, Sascha Konietzko and Skold departed and closed down KMFDM, starting the side-project MDFMK in 2000. They released just one album: MDFMK (2000, Universal Records). The band, with Lucia Cifarelli (formerly of the band Drill), took on a more futuristic sound, which also contained hints of trance and europop, primarily in the style of production, leaning towards what is now commonly referred to as 'electronica'. MDFMK featured all three sharing vocal duties. Their song "Missing Time" was used in the animated movie, Heavy Metal 2000.
