"Die Musik tut eine unbeschreibliche Wirkung auf mich, oft ist's wie eine Krankheit, aber nur periodisch; ich sage Dir, eine bewegliche, nicht gerade traurige Musik, oft eine fröhliche, kann mir manchmal mein Innerstes lösen. Da versink ich in die wehmütigsten Phantasien, wo ich die ganze Welt küssend voll Liebe umfassen möchte; wo mir das Kleinliche und Schlimme in seiner ganzen Nichtigkeit und wo mir ALLES in einem andern, verklärten Lichte erscheint." (Eduard Mörike)

PRESS INFO:

The Frohlocker have accrued from a periodical club session of the same name, which was brought to life in Kaiserslautern (Germany) in early 2006. By mixing a wide variety of groovy, breaky musical styles, they didn’t take much time to capture a key position among the local party culture. From the outset, the excellent team play behind the turntables has been complemented by intense studio works, which in turn are regularly tested on the dancefloor. Frohlocker’s own produce reflect the wide variety of influences and breach gridlocked genres. Their well reputated remixes for The Juju Orchestra, The Bahama Soul Club, DJ Farrapo and Dj ClicK and three own maxi releases on Galopp Records brought some attention from all around the globe.

The masterminds behind Frohlocker are Wanja Sälzer and Gabriel Zahn. During the last ten years Wanja Saelzer gained DJing experience in countless localities, beginning with Broken Beat, Big Beat and Trip-Hop. Now as part of Frohlocker, this pays off especially regarding the question whether a tune works out on the dancefloor. From his early days on, Gabriel Zahn enjoyed a musical breeding and is producing music for more than a decade now. Based on experiences in Trip-Hop, Hip-Hop and film score, as part of Frohlocker he is focusing on dance music in the broader sense.

Dj from Bulle (CH). Playing electronica and world music.

Riding in with the power to deliver sunshine to world’s rainiest open-air events, Monkey Safari brings rays of light to whatever dance floors they cast their shimmering spell on. 

The past few years saw the brothers swinging to new trees, retiring their previous labels to focus on their new label 'Hommage.' It were the years of transformation for the German producers, developing and tailoring a sound suited perfectly for the unique club nuances while still keeping the core elements of melodic chords and grooves synonymous with the duos productions. 

During this time, Monkey Safari unveiled their remix for Marc Houle’s “Pepper” on Richie Hawtin’s label Minus and their hugely successful “Cranes” and “Walls“ EPs that presented opportunities for Monkey Safari to work with some exciting musicians, such as Wolf + Lamb and Kölsch, techno heavy weights Guy Gerber and Josh Wink, as well as one of dance music’s most iconic producers, Moby. 

Monkey Safari remixed a track for Moby & The Void Pacific Choir, returning the favor after Moby’s successful rework of the duo’s track “Walls” last year. Their next releases continued in the same fashion, featuring remixes from Paco Osuna, Chloé, John Digweed & Nick Muir, UNER, Guy Mantzur, Victor Ruiz and more, while signing tracks from amazing Blond:ish, legendary John Tajada, and others on their Hommage imprint. 

The duo’s efforts in the studio have transcended to their DJ sets with stand out shows at Time Warp and Awakenings Festival. On top of a heavy touring schedule at world renowned clubs and headlining slots at festivals, the duo released their album ‘Odyssey’. Monkey Safari produced the same kind of tracks for this album they were playing as they toured nightclubs and festivals around the world, rather than simply a listening album. 

In 2018 Monkey Safari carefully handpicked remixers they saw as most capable of continuing their vision for the album. The ‘Odyssey Remixes’ featured reworks of the original album tracks by the master himself, Carl Cox, international stars Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J, Musumeci, Tensnake and Reboot, studio geniuses Dubspeeka, Hannes Bieger, ROD, and Phil Moffa, as well as up-and-coming talent Avidus and Trivmph . 

Monkey Safari’s third album comes in perfect time for the summer sunshine of 2019. The duo follow up their last album, ‘Odyssey’, with this warm, inviting collection of music designed to brighten your day and complement the glorious sunny days that bless us during the summer. Sven and Lars learned some valuable lessons from their last long-player, and the new album ‘HI’ comes from a far more relaxed, easy-going place. An organic project that came together quite naturally, their third album sees the duo in high spirits ready to bring a large dose of positive vibes and emotional depth to the party. 

2020 and 2021 sees Monkey Safari moving closer to legendary brands Get Physical and Anjuna Deep, starting with a remix and a multitude of EPs on the labels. Watch out for more news soon! 

The German outfit has been on an incredible run of form with promising developments in all of their endeavors and exciting news still to come. Be it a fresh remix or EP drop, DJ set or party, Monkey Safari will be sure to touch all scopes of dance culture with no signs of deceleration on the horizon. 
Their mandate remains the same, sending sunny vibes to make even the darkest dance floors smile.
