Founded in the second half of  2006 synth-pop group THE SWEEPS (based in Hamburg/Germany) shares a deep fascination for analog synthesizers, drum computers and vintage keyboards (e.g. the Fender Rhodes E-Piano and Italian string ensembles).
THE SWEEPS has released 10 studio albums (their latest one ARCADE OF DREAMS has seen the light of day in December 2020) by self-distribution so far and appeared on some official compilations or 12" - showing a wide range of influences: mostly POP, 70s & 80s nostalgia, Italo Disco and Wave.
Furthermore the band compiled a `Best Of´2 CD-set "CASCADING STYLE SWEEPS - THE BEST SO FAR" in late 2014. After the sudden and unexpected death of their co-founder Christoph Duwe in early 2021 the band put together 2 compilations "THE WAY WE WERE" & "THE WAY WE WERE 2" (both of them available digitally on all streaming & download platforms). A new collection of songs MUSIC SURVIVES followed in late 2023 (including a lot of previously unreleased tracks and fresh songs).

A synthpop side project by Niels Wesner (*THE SWEEPS) on vocals, string synthesizers and Moog - with help from his bandmates Kristina Brodowski (Vocals) and Christoph Duwe (Synthesizers). "Telling Myself" and "Even After" were recorded in spring 2014. There will be more WES tracks in the future, however, all 3 of us first and foremost focus on *THE SWEEPS.
