1. Germany seems to be a fertile ground for the electro scene, and ROOT4 plays a great part in it as well. We would like to get to know ROOT4 a little bit better, so can you tell us who ROOT4 are? How did you guys meet and what drew you together? Hauke: Till 2006 ROOT4 used to be a pure electro band. In 2007 Martin saw my band and he said „Hey, you…

A very recent release from these Norwegian pop stars called Cast in Steel comes as a bit of surprise as A-ha reunited again to produce their 10th studio album. Their music has always been a part of the mainstream pop, and on this album they remained true to themselves. But you can forger the times of “Take on Me” like hits, you won’t find that for quite some time in their music making. What…

Coming from Melbourne, Australia, Parralox really exceeds the borders with their music. John von Ahlen really masters the electro sound greatly, giving it a futuresque shape. There is nothing nostalgic about the electro sound on “Aeronaut” and we can really taste the future of electronic music here. It is club music, it is dance music and has a very positive vibe, but not forgetting about atmosphere and slower tempo tracks. On this album you…

After such a great come back with “Bloodsports” in 2013, I was very curious about their “Night Thoughts” album. Will Suede come back to their old glory; the sound I loved so much on their first album and “Dog Man Star”? After hearing “Bloodsports” and seeing them live I thought the guys are completely back. How much back they are, they are proving once again with this year’s release. What I have loved about…

Sometimes some things come our way by mere chance… or was it destiny that I discovered Parade Ground? I was sorry, however; that I have not discovered this great duo many years ago, but it´s never too late for some good music to reach you! So, in 2016 I have the opportunity to have a little chat with the Parade Ground guys, Pierre and Jean-Marc, but as I say; it´s never too late and…

As David Bowie’s death, just days following his 69th birthday, shook millions of people across the world, the outpouring of sadness at losing such a multi-skilled giant of music was underpinned by a multitude of memories. A veritable rainforest of printed articles and tributes and vast swathes of the Internet and social media have burst forth about one of the most influential creative figures of the past half-century. I did not expect to be…

Another Swedish band on my menu. This time Tolchock with their Elements of Rage album released in March 2015. It is a great pleasure to hear that not only synth pop “grows” in Sweden. This is a completely different music experience. Their Elements of Rage is a more powerful electronic sound, that is based on EBM music, but with more dance feeling to it. It is indeed very catchy, melodic and with a solid…

How is it possible to write about Bowie? As I am quite sure no one is interested in my thoughts, who am I to speak about him? Maybe just one of so many thousands of us who will treasure the memory of him forever. We were not a part of his life, but he was a part of ours; it meant no less that we didn’t know him, but at the same time we…
