This Austrian deep house & indie pop duo have rapidly risen the ranks, stealing music hearts across the globe. Racking up a colossal 100 Million+ streams across multiple platforms, boasting 4 million Spotify listeners across 61 countries, and enticing fans by showing off their phenomenal DJ and Live PA performances at 100,000 crowd strong events such as Pride Vienna, and iconic venues and locations such as Ushuaïa Ibiza, Amsterdam Dance Event, Nos Trilhos Sao Paulo, Pacha Germany and BadenFahrt Festival Switzerland to name a few. 

Möwe was founded by members Clemens Martinuzzi and Melanie Ebietoma in 2013. Now in their mid 20’s and both music aficionados from the start, the two met while they were playing in Indie Rockbands; “Mary lost her Pathos” and “At Pavillon”. They quickly realised that their music stylings matched incredibly well, and began creating music together! First inspired by a bitter cold winter day in Vienna and their longing for something to bring them warmth and a high spirited feeling, they decided to create their new sound, which was the birth of Möwe. The rest, as they say, is history…

The unique duo released their first official track together in 2014 on Stil Vor Talent – the label of Oliver Koletzki. They then began developing their own distinct sound and style, bringing tunes like Blauer Tag (2013, 6 Million Streams), Sonnenkind (2014, 12 Million Streams), Birds flying high (2015, 17 Million Streams), and Lovers Friends (2016, 17 Million Streams). Their debut album "Back in the Summer" was released in 2016, which welcomed huge fan and notable DJ support. They have also had tremendous success on many of their single tracks, one of the most notable being Skyline in 2017, which has pulled in 10 Million+ streams and radio play worldwide including on the US taste makers station Sirius XM. 

They have stellar taste in labels, and have worked in tandem with Universal Music, Atlantic Records, Ministry of Sound, Big Beat, Armada Music, Ultra Music, Spinnin’ records and the powerhouse that is Discowax Sony worldwide. Among other interesting facts, they are extremely proud of their singing prowess, the fact that they both play guitar and bass, and that they both play keys. This impressive show of musicianship is just one of the reasons their live shows are a unique wow factor for the fans and are not to be missed! Showing no signs of slowing down for 2018, Möwe are bringing a stack full of new music including a collaboration with Sam Feldt, while also continuing to entertain fans with their live PA performances across the globe and Möwe’s Flying High Radio Show expanding to new levels. This duo is clearly a force to be reckoned with, and without question, they are artists to watch!

Growing up as a teenager Pheromone was highly influenced by the musical likings of his older brother. Already at the age of seven he abandoned his favourite children's songs and started listening to dark eighties music. EBM bands like Front 242, The Neon Judgement, Nitzer Ebb and The Klinik were spinned frequently, but raised with an open mind he also started exploring New Wave and Punk. Bands like Alien sex Fiend, Bauhaus, Joy Division, Pink Floyd, The Mission, Sisters of Mercy, The Cult, The Cure, The Clash and The Ramones are in his all time favourite's list. 

But getting into puberty his musical tastes shifted more towards Rock and Metal. While moshpitting and listening to his favorite bands like Iron Maiden, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Arch Enemy, Tool, A perfect Circle, Channel Zero, Iced Earth, In Flames, Nevermore, Nine Inch Nails, Nocturnal Rites, Pantera, Amorphis, Mourning Beloveth, Dream Theater, Opeth,... he still kept his love for Electronic music. This was even more true, when at the age of sixteen he started going out to local rave parties and discovered what techno music was all about. Raving to the pumping four to the flour kick was now his favorite spare time activity. 

But with his open minded mentality, he kept his eyes and ears open to new musical influences and grew never tired of exploring new musical styles and genres. The summer of 2008 was a defining moment in his life, when he started discovering Dubstep. But he quickly got bored of the wobble sound that dominated the Dubstep scene at that time. Luckily for him, some producers were crossing boundaries in the genre and kept the sound fresh and interesting. The freedom, the no rules mentality and the freshness of the sound was so appealing, that it eventually got him into producing tracks of his own. While discovering artist like Phaeleh, Ital Tek, Kryptic Minds, Boxcutter, Burial, Martyn, F, A Made Up Sound, 2562, James Blake, Pangaea, Cosmin TRG, Hyetal and Scuba, he could no longer resist the temptation of making music. 

In the summer of 2009 he bought ableton live 8 and started experimenting. With no musical education whatsoever he struggled not only with the technical site of making electronic music but also with music theory in general. But not willing to give up, he used the world wide web as his tutor. After a while some sounds started to emerge from his PC speakers. Encouraged by this, he didn't give up and started experimenting even more with sounds. While practicing, he gained more confidence and after a while he decided it was time for an audience. First he tested his music on family and friends, but after a while he decided it was time to get a more professional kind of feedback. 

Soundcloud proved to be the perfect platform to receive this kind of feedback. Pheromone is still in a very experimental phase and he is still searching to create a sound of his own. He is certainly not willing to submit to the boundaries of a certain genre, but wants to keep his music as open minded and various as possible. He is always looking for new musical influences and tries to incorporate this into his creations. He's more and more getting into the British sound, thanks to producers like pariah, Joy Orbinson, Mount Kimbie and so on, who are going back to the roots and are highly influenced by UK Garage and 2 step. 

The last couple of months he's more and more getting into the future garage scene and tries to incorporate elements from it into his own tracks. However, still shaping his sound and experimenting until this day, pheromone's sound can be described as a mixture between house, dubstep, ambient, future garage and even hip hop influences. 

Aware that he has still a lot to learn, he's happy to receive feedback and exchange experiences.
