Berlin Roundfunk is back with another episode where I talk to a veteran of the show, Tristan Banks. Beside his important role in the band Moa McKay and the Flying Cabaret, he is also a booming musician in his own right. With acoustic guitar sounds ranging from folk to metal-like riffs, he has just realized his first solo EP, "Heart", and played a release gig in Café Wendel.

Tune in to listen to his musings on music when growing up in Cairo, Egypt during the Arab Spring. Also check out his beautiful song "Oscillations" at the end of this episode.

#9 Berlin Roundfunk - An Englishman in Egypt w/ Tristan Banks

This week I'm talking to Martyna, who is making music under the name MIN t. She's bringing out her new single, "Start Dancing", and that calls for an interview. 
From her wide range of musical influences to her eclectic performances, she is everything but ordinary. When asked, she calls her music "Experimental Electronic Neo Soul", which doesn't really do her music justice: it's got something of everything in it and is hard to fit in any category. 
Interesting fact: while she composes and produces all her music, her sister writes her often emotional and tangible lyrics.

For this week's episode I had another conversation with Palo G. This time for her new release, "Se Siente Caliente", plus an upcoming one. The new release reminds us of the consequences of ignoring climate change and has both Spanish and English lyrics, the latter sung by the mysterious Moho Jojo. 
Check out the podcast to find out what Palo G has been doing during the lock-down, and stay tuned to hear a sneak peek of her next song, which is coming out soon.

In this week's episode of Berlin Roundfunk, I'm talking to Ina West, whose latest album "Girls" is truly a work of wonder. She experiments with violins and guitars in an electronic environment where she writes the music for all of the instruments herself. Her inspiration she takes from her life; her time as a nanny in England is featured on "Tender Age", and when she meets her old roommate again, now stark naked and covered in red paint, she was inspired to write "Aurora".

In short, she doesn't need long to amaze both her interviewer and, I hope, you too. She's vibrant, intense, and hypnotic, which finds expression in the darker songs of her album, sometimes with an underground techno-vibe. For everyone who would rather dance to her music in a club, she's promised us to play more gigs this year in clubs, as well as regular venues.

#12 - with Ina West

Synthesizers, surfboards and sampling... Joris Biesmans has a lot up his sleeve. He has earned his high Beatport rankings and signings at various hot labels over the last few years with his heavy retro beats, infused with synthesizer-fueled 80s disco melodies. It also gave him a spot on the Watergate agency roster, and this year was gonna be his year - until the Big C happened.
We talked what he did to stay creative, his musical roots, and what it means for him to play 'live' sets.

#13 - How to Get Creative and Stay Creative w/ Biesmans

Berlin Roundfunk aims to explore the Berlin music scene through its musicians. I talk to them to find out why they've decided to move and stay in Berlin. From DJs to folkrock musicians and outside buskers, I invite musicians from the entire spectrum - as long as they consider themselves Berlin-based.
