Influences: Terr

I love early electro, house and techno, really raw stuff from the early 80s. Afrika Bambaataa had no limits, it a brilliant mix of electro, hiphop, funk, Kraftwerk and everything else he wanted to put in the mix. It’s hard to imagine today how they did everything with the technology available at that moment, but it still sounds powerful and fresh. Never gets old, music for the body and for the brain.

Total game changer. When I heard it for the first time I thought “from which planet and from which century is this music?” They raised the bar when they released this record. I love their work as a duo as well as their work with Robyn, of whom I am a big fan as well.

I love the Sparks, but this record is my favourite one, because it’s Sparks produced by Giorgio Moroder. Too many geniuses on the same album. Moroder added the electro-disco feel to their usual multilayered madness, creating something totally unique and timeless.

It speaks directly to my heart. That’s all I have to say.

Genius. Mixed David Bowie and Kraftwerk and created the first and definitive robot-art-romanticism. I like his earlier stuff as well, a bit more punk, but when he realised he could do everything with synths he became the first star of the technopop era.

Flawless. One of the albums of my life, incredibly beautiful and delicate. It’s hard to pick a favourite album by Philip Glass – Koyaanisqatsi and his soundtrack for The Hours are also gems.

This is a very interesting moment in music history – the analog synths, the disco dancing vibe, the psychedelic edge, the sci-fi absurd themes… So much good music from this era. There is a lot of incredible crazy stuff like Alexander Robotnick, Cerrone, Space, Giorgio Moroder and some more underground stuff like Black Devil Disco Club and Arpadys. I also love Space Disco from the 2000s, like Lindstrøm and Prins Thomas, they somehow kept that vibe but with a more modern feel.

Pink Floyd at its best. Beautiful and deep, serious and trippy at the same time. When I was a teenager I listened to Pink Floyd for years, almost everyday, and every time I put the CDs on I would hear something new or different, or maybe I understood it in a different way.

I love Orbital, everyone should love Orbital. Their albums are incredible, they have absolutely no boundaries. Even today it’s hard to define their music or file them under a specific genre. I love the electronic music from the 90s, like Orbital, Shamen, Orb, Chemical Brothers – they were inventing new genres of music, discovering new possibilities, everything sounds like happy adventures in the studio. When I heard it for the first time I realized I could do whatever I wanted with my music.
