3 QUESTIONS to MOLLONO.BASS:

Q: Besides producing and touring you´re running Acker Records, 3000 Grad. A fulltime job?

A: A fulltime job indeed! Since 2006 I'm living my life with my music only. A dream came true. But as you mentioned it's not only my own music, but many different projects: Two labels, a booking agency, a festival and various other events throughout the year. More than I could handle myself. So I'm very happy that 3000Grad is a team of around 7 people. They make sure everything goes down smoothly. And that there's always some quality jokes flying around in our office!

Q: Also you´re part of a lot of events and festivals in northern Germany. 3000 Grad, Fusion, just to name a few. Please tell us more about your doings.

A: Fusion Festival is like a parallel universe, and 3000Grad is really just one star in this “Kulturkosmos”, which means culture cosmos in German. Even after many many years of active involvement it's still very inspiring to work with so many creative minds and interesting people in this project, to make magic happen year after year again.

Then there's our 3000Grad Festival, which is obviously our baby. Lots of love and dedication goes into this project. Our vision is to make the utopia of a better world come true, even if it's just for a weekend. Ideally the visitors take this experience with them and keep it alive as an inspiration for their everyday lives. In the end, a better world depends on us and our attitude.

And then: winter’s coming, which is really not so nice here in Germany. So we try to make it a little nicer with our indoor events. The general idea of these parties is to bring a hint of summer festival vibes into the club context. That's why our “Wanderzirkus”, the travelling circus, is subtitled as “The Surreal Club Festival”. It's really like an indoor adult playground where we can live our passion for electronic dance music, but also for the beautifully bizarre, for theater and performance art.

Q: Which further projects are on the way?

A: At the moment I’m full enthusiasm for my music projects and my collaborations with other producers. If it was possible, I would move into my studio for some months. What's the result of all this? On 1st December we'll release the 3rd part of the Mollono.Bass & Friends series on 3000Grad Records, this time I worked with my long-year Kombinat100 companion Marc Vogler and with Timboletti. In 2018 we'll continue with a new Mollono.Bass Remix Collection, I can't believe it's number 4 in this series already.

3 QUESTIONS to INNELLEA:

Q: Guess it was not easy to mix your both musicial influences in one hour, right? Tell us about your mix.

A: Well in fact it was pretty nice! We made two Spotify playlists and picked out our all time favs. Dani more housy Michi more electro influenced.

Q: How did you guys meet once?

A: We both take part in a collective called „Ohne Worte“ where we host party’s with focus on designed stages and good music. That’s how we got to know each other about 6 years ago in Michi‘s cellarroom at a meeting kind of thing.

Q: Which future projects are on the way?

A: There are a lot. We have pretty straight goals we want to reach one day and we have to work hart for it. So we are producing a lot, try to learn a lot about sounddesign etc. and of course trying to connect with the scene. Socializing is (how said it might be...) one of the most important things these days.

3 QUESTIONS to HOLLEN:

Q: Tell us about your mix. Is there a special track inside which has been „the one“ for you the last decade(s)?

A: Oh well. This mix contains some releases that made my day until today. I was bit uncertain at the beginning because I have so many tracks in mind on a very different genres that influenced my musical taste so I decided to use the songs that I heard in my early club life and with the ones I grew up. I don’t really have a “winner” because it is most about the time, mood, genre, artist than a single song. Sadly it’s only one hour Long. The list could be longer than this.

Q: From Italy to the world – where is your favorite spot to DJ?

A: "From Italy to the world" sounds nice, it could be a good title for a movie or a book! Back to your question, whatever it is, a festival, club or simply a party with friends, every place has its own crowd and gives you emotions, especially when the people is really into in what you are doing. There are cities where I feel more connected like Amsterdam and its festivals or like in Central and South America where the people is totally insane in a very good way!

Q: Which Hollen projects are coming soon?

A: I’m spending a lot of time in studio and I’m working on many new project. At the moment I have a new EP coming out on Unrilis with my good friend Raffaele Rizzi. The tracks have been tested for the whole summer and we have already HUGE supports so we are literally counting the days to the release date. I have one more collaborations with the Yellowheads on my own label Prospect Records and an EP on Unity Records with a remix of the label owner D-Unity. I’m going to start a residency for my Prospect showcases close to my home town where I will invite the young talents that are connected with the label to play. Plus, of course, my travels around the world.

3 QUESTIONS to SIMINA GRIGORIU:

Q: Talking about your mix: how did these tracks have an impact on your career?

A: I used to listen to Jungle and Hip-Hop growing up. I loved Break Beats and even Euro Trash like Gigi D’Agostino and and super oldies my parents used to listen to. My musical taste is all over the map. However, since I got into Techno over 15 years ago, there have been many classics to admire and some tracks that have become MY personal classics. I love Juan Atkins and I have so much respect for guys like Paul Kalkbrenner, Adam Beyer, Jeff Mills, Derrick May and the list goes on. It was quite hard to find the tracks to find into a one-hour mix but I did and I hope you guys like it! :)

Q: By touring with your husband you´ve probably seen almost everything from the world. But where is your favorite spot to be – and to DJ?

A: hahah! Why does it always come down to these personal questions, huh? I don’t often tour with Paul. We have our own tour schedules and rarely play at the same venues. We have a wonderful home life and a family but business is business and business is separate from home life. As for what I’ve seen of the world, I can describe a lot of it, but on tour I usually see the airports, the clubs and the inside of hotel rooms. Traveling and being on tour are totally different animals and there is often not enough time to enjoy the cities in which I play. Now with a family there is almost no posibility for an extra day here or there. I prefer to be home with my babies; The big one and the little one.

Q: Which future projects are on the way?

A. I have some new tracks coming out on my own label, Kuukou Records, as well as some remixes on other techno labels. We are currently working on our next Kuukou label party and I am traveling a lot at the moment. Locally around EU but also some extended trips on the horizon.

3 QUESTIONS to umami:

Q: As a duo – was it hard to select music for a classics podcast as you both probably had different influences?

A: (Robert) Well first of all, we both have pretty different background musically. And our taste in music when we started doing house music was also quite different from each other so the tracks we picked from that period in our lives aren't really all in one genre. But in the end, it's more interesting to create a podcast with more diverse music!

Q: As you are currently working on a new live-act - what will be the difference to the past one?

A: (Robert) For one thing we have switched roles. Sam used to "pilot" the tracks while I was playing drum pads and sounds to it. Now it's the other way around and I'm navigating the beats and main tracks and Sam can concentrate on playing the guitar, tweaking synths and singing. And bringing a guitar is definitely something new we want to try out!

Q: I´ve heard there is a new album in progress. Please tell us more about this and also which further Umami projects are on the way!

A: (Robert) Yes there is definitely an album coming! We just don't know when! Almost all of the core ideas are finished, but we are still not sure how to "dress" them. We have one song we wrote with a friend of ours, and right now it's very heavy on the synth side. But we could also imagine it being more organic and dreamy. Those are difficult decisions. But we will figure it out eventually.
