Efdemin is the Dj Alias of Phillip Sollmann. After living couple of years in Hamburg (Dial connection with Lawrence & Carsten Jost), he is now living and working for a couple of years in Berlin.

You could locate Efdemin’s production in the intersection of house and techno with some influences from Detroit, New York and Chicago but still it has it’s own flavour.  The first release of Sollmann was published in 1998 on Kompakt. A very promising start for a newbie. But the interest in producing flies again and then the career has to wait for the time being. Instead Sollmann studied in Vienna at the Institute for Experimental Computer Music and Acoustics. At the formative influences of his youth, like Depeche Mode, Sonic Youth and Psychic TV now he is adding composers like musique concrète and Pierre Henry to his collection. He makes sound installations and works on experimental pieces in the operatic context. Finally, he turns again to electronic club music.

Enjoy a relaxed Interview with Efdemin after New Years Eve and his gig at Festsaalkreuzberg in Berlin (the interview was held in German,  sorry about that for non german native speakers).

Raised up on the Faroe Islands and Denmark and living in cities like New York and London.

Karkwa are a band from Montreal and a part of the Francophone music community. Therefore their musical success in Quebec is amazing. But step by step they are earning more attention also in the Anglophone community, starting with winning the Polaris Prize in 2010. In the last couple of weeks Karkwa was also on tour in Europe. Well of course the size of the venues is a bit smaller than at home. E.g. where the opening band for a free concert of Arcade Fire by the end of September in Montreal. But still they are thrilled to play in front of a crowd which not might know them as good as they know them at home. Enjoy!
