Origining from the polish city of Łódź, FG has been raised in the west in the 80's. No wonder he's an obsessed collector of oldschool synthipop gear and neon coulered dresses. And yes, kitschy melodies rule his world.

2014 Release of the singles "F´Hain Soups" and "Gloomy Posture", recording and mixing by Sören Stanchera [BRB, GER] and mastering by Gary Hadfield at Blueprint Studios [Manchester, GB].

Im Mai 2013 wird die zweite Platte von Nikaya, aufgenommen mit Boris Wilsdorf im legendären Studio Andere Baustelle, als Vinyl durch das Artlabel C4 produziert und durch Pale Music Int. präsentiert und vertrieben.

Als 2011 das Debüt Album von Nikaya „Everyone Needs A Peaceful Light“ erschien, tauchten in den Kommentaren Namen wie The Cure, Joy Division und Siouxie and the Banshees auf. Tatsächlich aber sind Nikaya nicht eindeutig einzuordnen. Die erste wegweisende Kooperation wurde 2012 mit dem englischen DJ ED 2000 (Berlin-London) eingeleitet, der von Hands Up! Hold Up! Helicopter! ein Remix produzierte und das im Frühjahr 2013 auf einer Compilation erscheinen wird.

‘Who are The Foreign Tones?’ 
‘It could have happened in any other megacity in the world, but it happened in Berlin. 
Two guys from different continents met in the german capital and, inspired for the love of rock'n'roll and after jamming in the trains and tunnels of the city, decided to form a band. 
The Foreign Tones are here to take the crème de la crème of rock ‘n’ roll and push it further into the 21st century. 
We’re here to give back to people the joy of freaking out listening to good ol' rock'n'roll. Have fun!’

“Garden of Love” is 5 years old. 5 years that his songs have accompanied us, like evidence. The 4th album of Scratch Massive entered our intimacy, met its audience, a large audience, and the passage of time has succeeded. His romantic and dark compositions - we can cite "Last Dance", "Sunken" or "Dancer in the Dark" - have become classics that we have heard as soundtracks on feature films, series and fashion shows. “Last Dance” sung by Maud Geffray has become a cult and transgenerational title by illustrating the first kiss of Elliot and Lucas, the two heroes of the teen series “Skam”.

To celebrate the 5th anniversary of "Garden Of Love", Scratch Massive offers us here a Deluxe version containing 5 unreleased tracks, recorded in Los Angeles during the album's studio sessions. There we find the majestic “Love Streams” Feat Grindi Manberg in its sung and instrumental version. Then come 2 unreleased demos of "Pray" by the group, and finally "Hollywood Boulevard", a nighttime ballad in a fantasy L.A., the city where the album "Garden of Love" was thought and composed.

This Deluxe anniversary version skilfully completes the group's 4th LP and makes us wait before the next one, scheduled for 2024.

GARDEN OF LOVE DELUXE EDITION OCTOBER 27th, 2024 on bORDEL Records

Debut album "Want" out October 15. 2014 on Soundflat Records & Burger Records.
