Growing up in East German prefabs while listening to everything the 90s rave scene spilt out, Axel Sandig has come a long way in his musical socialization. Yet, his predilection for rather simple melodies might not be the only remnant of that time.

Having been musically trained to play pop pieces on a plastic piano with little red lights attached to every key, things could have turned out differently. By chance his musical path took a well-disposed turn when a good friend introduced him to Radiohead’s ‘Kid A’ which entirely changed the way he was perceiving music until then.Low internet bandwidths wouldn’t prevent Axel from exploring everything his brain subconsciously labelled: organic electronica.
