How has your year been so far?
Ralph Kyau: All good. Released two singles so far and a remix.
Busy much?
Steven Albert: We did a rework of our classic track “Kiksu” as part of the 15 years of Kyau & Albert releases in 2011.
Your tracks “Walk Down” and “Megashira” were used for a documentary film the U movie. How did that come about and what is your opinion of the film?
RK: When Alexander Reid contacted us to use our songs in the U movie, we became curious about the whole project. While looking into it and seeing a few trailers of that documentary, we decided to support the project.
SA: the U movie is a feature length documentary film about traveling the world and following your dreams. Check the website www.theumovie.com.
RK: We were really inspired by the footage from the film, and decided to make the single “On The Way.” Then we came up with the idea that Alexander should make a video-clip for “On The Way” with footage from the U movie. He also thought that it was a fantasic idea and could really make a good push for the movie. The response for the video-clip was massive.
Germany is known more for its techno than trance. How has this impacted your music?
SA: When we started making music our biggest idol was Paul van Dyk. He is the most popular DJ in Germany. In the ealy 90’s even Sven Väth was playing trance. We like listening to other styles too for inspiration.
You will be spinning at Azzura here. What can we expect?
