Strobetek: "A world without contrast and polarization is a blind world"



Strobetek is a German DJ and producer duo specializing in melodic techno. Comprised of two brothers, they explore the many facets of melody, blending analog sounds and emotions. Their music is the result of a shared vision, where opposites come together to create tracks with deep soul and character.





Firstly – please introduce yourself as an artist – tell us your name, where you’re from, when you started making music, how you would describe your current style?


We, Jan and Jens, are a DJ and producer duo from Germany. We work in the field of melodic techno and are always looking for the different facets of melodic sounds and moments. Strobetek has mastered the art of shared vision and universal understanding. Without the other half, these unique productions would not be possible. The duo stands out in Germany as conflicting tastes are the catalyst for swinging between bitter analog techno and fascinating advances. Every Strobetek creation must have a deep character and soul. Therefore, they integrate a variety of ideas, emotions and algorithms into their creative processes. The overall experience is created by the analog sounds - a talent born from pure interest and anchored in the same genes (two brothers). They have made it their mission to take the dance floor on an odyssey through mirrored opposites.



What is one of your earliest memories of music?


The first release on a major label called Protagonist Recordings. They have given us the opportunity to spread our art of music to the masses, to spread our attention to music lovers, and to make people dance.



Who and what are your influences and inspirations?


Currently we are inspired by Lauren Mia, Lauren's skills in analogue sound design, composition and music production stem from her lifelong involvement with classical music. Her piano skills and innate sense of musicality have shaped an ethereal, gorgeous and dynamic, distinctive sound that is full of texture and identity. Perhaps there will be an opportunity to perform with her on a big stage in the near future, who knows what the future holds?



What do you feel makes you unique as an artist?


We have a very unique style, so it is often difficult to get signed. We always try to incorporate new ideas into our production in order to develop a further learning process, so that we have sufficient symbiosis in our work and a minimum of contradictions in the creative direction and preparation of the material and its writing. Jens has the talent of DRUMS, he is the master of production in this area, because as a drummer he has it in his blood! These elements are the focus in production and an important part that should not be missing in the productions.



Tell us an interesting fact about your non artist self?


We usually try to set aside some time every day for the production of our music after we have finished all the tasks at work. Therefore, we try to develop the most efficient production methods to make the best use of the limited time to deliver a well-crafted product without rushing the development of the idea. Our main working time in the studio is usually Sundays, when after the weekend we have a free head and creativity to compose music.We grew up in a family of musicians. Our father was a passionate trumpet player and did it out of passion, so the genes are inherited.



Tell us about your upcoming release on Infinite Resistance – the track name & reason for this title, inspiration for track, describe the track, how was the track made etc…


"Dimensions" consists of a variety of sounds that allow us to perceive harmony and the divine. A world without contrast and polarization is a blind world. This title tells us a story that begins with a captivating melody, the whole thing is rounded off with atmospheric elements and a pleasant female vocal. Our inspiration is not in our heads during production, it arises during the execution of the composition. At the end of the production we always have an artistic product that mostly surprises us! "Falling Down" brilliantly combines two antagonistic forces, experimental synths and melodies, symbolizing the essence of the duo, a perfect contrast between harmony and chaos, the ethereal sounds take the listeners into a journey into the universe never seen in previous productions of the artist. It is a powerful weapon that fits perfectly in the most energetic moment of the dance floor.





What are your future hopes, dreams and plans?


Our biggest dream would be to be able to perform on a big stage like many producers of melodic music such as Tommorowland, Zamna, Cercle. It would be a childhood dream come true for us to share the stage with the hottest DJs and producers.



If someone wrote a book about your life so far, what would it be the title?


When dreams come true!
