Curtis Harding – I Need a Friend

We were lucky to see this talented young artist perform his latest album “Soul Power” live, which is actually something in between rock & soul, between Jimmy Hendrix and Lee Fields. Probably noone would play this one on a radio station (f.e. his song ‘Keep On Shining‘ is perfect for a wider public) but this is the most touching song on his album and isn’t that what music is meant to be somehow? Have a great day!

(Premiere) Molly Moore – Peace Of My Heart

molly-moore-400x396

Molly Moore comes to us with the premier of “Peace Of My Heart,” written by herself and songwriter/artist Brandyn Burnette. This young lady is on the rise, recently signing a deal with Imagem Music. I recently went back and read up on the interview we did with her (which you can read here) and found a pattern. She’s written songs for big EDM acts like Felix Cartel and DubVision while maintaining her artistic vision throughout. You know these songs have Moore’s imprint from the poignant lyrics about lost love and missed chances. No, “throw your hands up in the air!” here, folks.

Now she’s on her own, so to speak, with “Peace of Heart,” where “love can mean giving up control.” Emotion is sometimes void in music, we get punched with a juggernaut with Moore’s newest release though, where anybody with a pulse can relate.

#ChromeSelects: Achtabahn

We’re a bit late, but Toby has met Achtabahn last week before they’ve played on our last ChromeMusic Night.

1) What´s behind the name Achtabahn?

We had an exciting time beginning of 2014, live was a bit like a rollercoaster-ride, ups and downs, even a kind of loop – we thought about this mood when we chose the name Achtabahn for our new common project – Achterbahn means rollercoaster in German

2) Can you explain what your genre of House music is?

We were in the studio and built new tracks (wouldn’t call it work J) the basic thing is indeed spontaneity, we follow the instinct of the moment and love the influence of different genres, our current single f.i. bears a significant reggae-flavor. And we steadily love to jam with new people, singer or musicians with good or better excellent skills. Our studio-door is always open and meanwhile the guys outside know this and use it. + we run a fantastic international network via the known social-media platforms.

3) What’s your dream festival to play?

Tomorrowland wouldn’t be so bad

4) What kind of personal routine is important to you?

Our routine is some kind of hyperactivity – mostly “on” and active – rarely “off” and passive

5) What artists do you draw on for your influence?

Our most recognized artists are possibly the Kalkbrenner-Brothers, a bit strange as their music is very different to what we do but somehow they influenced us with their timeless music

6) Five artists you follow on spotify, soundcloud, hypem, facebook, instagram (can be anything from a drug guru to a yoga instructor :)

Paul Kalkbrenner, Format B , Notorious Big , Robin Schulz

7) Which song do you sing under the shower when nobody can hear you?

Heino – Blau blüht der Enzian

8) What do you eat before a performance?

1-2 beers are ok

9) What should we be listening to?

„to the king“ and look out for the next one – wow

10) 3 Movies and 3 Songs that describe your life so far… ( or characterized your life, not sure how to say in english)

Berlin Calling , Inception , Grown Ups -> Movies; Party&Bullshit – Notorious Big , Eye of the Tiger – Survivor , Let me entertain you – Robbie Williams ;)

11) What is a singer, male or female, you would like to collaborate with?

Milky Chance
