Today something a little different - This is something I'm really proud of and definitely one of the absolute highlights of the past year.

Before moving to Europe and focusing more on my own performances, I was a producer, putting together big programs, festivals and events. Designing the style, vibe and experience of the event, putting together a collection of kick-ass artists, marketing campaigns, technical management, coordinating teams and always also managing some crazy weirdos and their problems. This is incredibly hard, stressful but also extremely rewarding work.

Last year I had the opportunity to do this again (a big part of the reason why I took a break here). I knew again it would be stressful and work me around the clock but after covid, hey, I really needed the regular paycheck for 6 months.

So, I worked with some really respected (and quite famous musicians) to put together a concert of epic proportions for the opening of the European Capital of Culture at the Rockhal, Luxemburg's biggest venue.

Frank Wiedemann and Matthew Herbert were the creative directors.

Matthew is a madman working with all music genres with a focus on experimentation (he actually just wrote to me last week to say hi, he's currently working on a concert revolving around playing a dead horse, how cool)

Frank is a legendary techno and dance DJ who also does collaborative projects and education, mostly with Ableton.

Together we created a new original piece of music with over 100 local musicians performing on stage.

We filmed the whole thing and luckily our production company got a copy so you can enjoy the entire show here!

Battle Royal Studios: Future Frequencies - Esch2022 (Full Concert)

An instrumental part of the Esch2022 European Capital of Culture celebration, the Future Frequencies initiative emerged from a desire to not just celebrate the existing culture of the Luxembourgish region but nurture its new generation. With this aim in mind, bold, effective, and forward-thinking collaboration was a must in carrying out this music production and composition workshop — and few contenders were likely to live up to the task better than established European electronic music producers Frank Wiedemann and Matthew Herbert.
