Soundtracks composer and music producer based in Valencia (Spain)

At the end of 2020, Sven The Slacker decided to come up with little songs under his own
name. ROSI, the band he shares with Mirco Rappsilber, had just released their third
album. But due to the pandemic and lockdown restrictions they were not able to tour.
With nothing but long working days ahead, finding some balance was much needed. So
Sven produced some songs ranging from punk to bedroom pop or, as we can hear on
Dogtown: minimal synth pop.
The four songs in Dogtown revolve around the life in a shoddy smalltown, they tell of
 being in love with being in love rather than with the actual person, only for the narrator to
 end up lost and lonely in the same old wasteland.
 Musically Sven was influenced by John Foxx’s album Metamatic, by Black Marble, and
New Order. He used vintage sounds as well as analogue elements like the ukulele in
Dogtown (skit). Visually bands like Deichkind or the Beastie Boys were an inspiration in
the way of giving in to sheer folly. The visual dog theme also alludes to Sven’s former
nickname: Köter (German for mutt).
