I love the strange out-of-tune sounding sound at the beginning

Fans of the Berlin based Nils Frahm are by now familiar with his beguiling live shows where more often than not fellow touring artists are encouraged to join Frahm on stage – the likes of Rachel Grimes, Rob Lowe of Balmorhea as well as label colleagues Peter Broderick and Ólafur Arnalds have all obliged with fascinating results. It will come as no surprise then that Nils Frahm, an accomplished composer and producer who signed to Erased Tapes in 2009, has extended his collaborative live musings to encompass the recording studio, working for the first time with noted cellist and fellow Berliner Anne Müller to produce 7fingers. 

With their first collective release Frahm and Müller have built a world where modern classical and electronica collide creating an ‘intoxicating and delicious’ collection of songs. Primarily a pianist Nils Frahm provides evidence with 7fingers that he can effortlessly turn electric throwing in loops, samples and glitches to accompany and showcase Müller on cello. Anne Müller, a renowned musician noted for her work with the Wolf-Ferrari-Ensemble, Phillip Boa and recent tours with Agnes Obel, proves an amp musical partner for Frahm. 

As the recognition continues to grow for Nils Frahm’s previous solo piano works Wintermusik and The Bells, 2011 sees a new side to this young talent as he embarks on a detour into strings, symphonies and glitch beats alongside the estimable Anne Müller.

In Hour 2 Photay is our guest, who recently released his debut EP on the Astro Nautico label from New York. His mix features Clark, Todd Terje, Squarepusher and Marlena Shaw, like you've never heard before. He told us;
"My mix showcases lots of Photay. Tunes from my recent EP and others unreleased that I often play out. I can't help but travel between 10 genres each & every day so I tried to emulate that here. After a good chunk of stimulation, I finished the mix off with a few mellow/ ambient jams that keep me at ease. It's an honour to be a part of the Solid Steel Series!"

I create music floating somewhere in between the realms of groove, electronica, dub, idm, instrumental beats, rhythm journeys, world fusion, ambient, balkanesque oddhop grooves, deep house, (post) dupstep or afrolatinelectronic fusion. call it what you want...

I simply love the fusion of various styles and grooves.. enjoy listenig!

I'm always looking for opportunities to play my music live, so if you have a venue, festival or idea: citokaling@gmail.com

Besides producing I play saxophone in various bands. My current band projects are
- evelyn kryger (balkan/groove/fusion)
- quasigogo (dj/live-impro)
- mingaco orchestra (euro-latin groove)

former bands: 
- kuela beech (mestizo, latin, ska)
- yala yala zootones (ska-jazz)
