Since 2007 Niconé brings together urban club and fashion culture. Alexander Gerlach and Helena Kapidzic combine passion, style, elegance and humor. The music has become synonymous with a versatile vision of contemporary house music that isn’t afraid to surprise as being mature and playful in equal measures. In 2011 Niconé released the Romantic Thrills album together with his good friend and constant partner in crime Sascha Braemer. Now, two years later, Niconé is presenting the first full-length solo album, Let Love Begin, on Stil vor Talent.
In our interview with Niconé we talked about music by Blümchen, Casper, Robin Thicke ft. Pharrell, Lorde, Snoop Dogg, Village People and Mano Le Tough.

If people think of Switzerland, they think of green meadows, clear water, snow-covered mountains and fresh air. In the world of electronic music they think of soulful house music and a history of great parties and clubs. It is in both of these environments that Marco Biagini aka Kellerkind grew up. In the small town of Solothurn Kellerkind discovered the Chicago sound in the local clubs and got to know house music. 15 years later, Kellerkind has become an irreplaceable figure in the Swiss electronic music scene. Today he also is part of the Stil for Talent crew playing regularly in Berlin.
In our interview with Kellerkind, we have talked about music by George Clinton, Grandmaster Flash, Deichkind and Johnny Cash. More after the jump.

Sometimes, you have to wait several weeks or even months for a reaction to your request; and when the artist finally replies, his answers consists of one or two words. On the other hand, there are musician that reply within one day with a perfect interview – like Animal Trainer for instance, the producer and DJ duo from Switzerland that belongs to the Stil vor Talent crew.

At this year’s MELT festival I made a wonderful discovery. Saturday night at the Sleepless Floor, there was an act that almost nobody in the audience had ever heard of before. At first, people were a little skeptical about the newcomer on the stage: What is an actual live band that nobody knows doing here at prime time? But then the performance became one of those magical experiences at festivals when just everything falls into place. In the end, the whole audience was enchanted. Everyone knew they had experienced something extraordinary. And everyone kept asking: “What is the name of the band? What are they called again? Do you have the line-up to look it up?”
The name of the band is Her Voice Over Boys, they are the latest signing on Oliver Koletzki’s label Stil vor Talent. The music of Her Voice Over Boys is deeply romantic, it consists of dreamy melodies, heartfelt vocals, accessible bass lines and club-ready beats. This Sunday they are playing their Berlin debut at Kater Holzig. Their performance starts at 1 am.
Check out the music after the jump and take your chance to win 2 guestlist places.
