Wir begegneten uns vor ein paar Jahren an der Hochschule für Musik "Carl Maria v. Weber" in Dresden. David studierte dort Gitarre/Weltmusik bei Thomas Fellow, Mara studiert Jazz/Rock/Pop-Gesang in der Klasse von Céline Rudolph. Die Tragweite dieser Begegnung wurde uns erst allmählich bewusst, es ist jedoch spürbar, dass unsere Arbeit intensiver wird, seit wir gemeinsam Songs schreiben und spielen. Anfang 2007 nahmen wir unser Debüt Album "Sixteen Secrets" (Ozella Music/Songways) auf, welches wir am 30. August des selben Jahres stolz und freudig in die Welt entließen. Seitdem schreiben wir wie wild neue Songs, Wir können es nicht erwarten endlich wieder ins Studio zu kommen! Außerdem könnt ihr uns auf Tour live erleben und die Musik mit uns teilen.
We met a few years ago at theAcademy of Music "Carl Maria v. Weber" in Dresden. David studied Guitar/ Worldmusic there, with Thomas Fellow as his teacher, while Mara is still studying jazz/pop voice in the class of Céline Rudolph.
Since we started writing songs and playing together, the work is constantly growing more intense. In early 2007 we recorded our debut album "Sixteen Secrets" (Ozella Music/Songways), which we proudly presented to the world on August 30, 2007. Since then, we're all about writing new songs. We can't wait to hit the studio again! Besides, you can see and hear us live on tour and share the music with us.
Monkee Platez next offering is the 'Fulltilt EP' from Glasgow outfit Mr Hajika. Streetdate 14th November 4 slabs of groove driven tech house...
Fulltilt original is a chugging, bass heavy track with a subtle musicality that develops throughout. Dr. Bergers remix is a stripped down deeper edit, with an infectious flow that maintains the essence of the original. Similarly to Dr. Berger, Alex Fiction strips back the layers to uncover an electronic soul which builds into an intelligently emotive interpretation, if slightly twisted. Completing the package is 'Nitemoves' which shares the big sound of Fulltilt, but with a more progressive, melodic vibe."
