Berlin duo GHEIST have fast emerged as one of the most exciting duos in electronic music. Buoyed by an impressive discography as well as an enviable DJ \/ hybrid setup, it\u2019s little surprise that they\u2019re quickly earning fans across the world, just as a world tour featuring stop offs in Tulum, Sao Paulo, Copenhagen and Uruguay would seem to suggest. With their impressive debut LP, <\/span>Zukunft, earning repeated plays in these here parts, we caught up with the lads to chat about their favourite albums.<\/span> \u201cIn general there is no specific album that led us to creating \u201cZukunft\u201c said the guys, before conceding that \u201cthe following albums and artists definitely had an impact on us personally and artistically throughout the last years\u201d. <\/span>And what a great few selections it is!<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

James Blake- James Blake<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

What a great musician, songwriter and singer. He definitely has one of the most outstanding voices and he appears to be such a perfectionist. Whenever you have the chance to see a live performance of him we can highly recommend to go there, you\u2019re in for something special.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
With his first Album he immediately gave us such a great piece of art and we find his take on electronica very exciting and the emotional depth he creates especially with his voice is always just beautiful. As a musician and composer he seems very progressive and every time you listen to his music there\u2019s something new to discover.<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Radiohead- OK Computer<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

This album became one of the most outstanding and inspiring pieces of music in the 90\u2018s to us. Radiohead created their very own and super unique sound alongside Thom Yorke\u2018s incomparable voice. The way they arranged their music, the dynamic, intensity and most of all brilliant musicality by achieving such an emotional outcome still is mind blowing. The production of this album is so detailed and there are so many small hooks to hold on to, even if it\u2019s just a rhythmic pattern or a sample. \u201cOk Computer\u201c in our opinion also marks the beginning of Radiohead stepping up even more, artistically and emotionally by actually creating their own genre.<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jose Gonzales – Veneer<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jose Gonzales is one of those artists who creates an instant vibe with very few elements. His finger picking guitar styles and his soothing warm voice from the beginning on built the foundation of his very unique musical universe. He\u2018s very well known for his great cover versions of songs like \u201eHeartbeat\u201c from \u201eThe Knife\u201c and later on \u201eTeardrops\u201c from \u201eMassive Attack\u201c. He is definitely a great songwriter who also has a lot to offer when it comes to lyrics,\u00a0 as he has a very beautiful and unique way to come up with strong pictures through his words. Even though we pointed out his firs album, you could easily listen to any of his other LP\u2018s, as they\u2018re all consistently great.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Moderat – Bad Kingdom<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Such an amazing electronica band from Berlin which is also very specific on its visual concept. In a very musical way this album captures the feeling of club music, translated into catchy songs. The way they built their synthesizer aesthetics creates a strong color and vibe and definitely became one of their signatures. In general Moderat are very detailed in their production and songwriting. Everything comes together in a very organic way and there are constantly small and evolving hooks which makes their music very captivating and memorable. With everything Moderat do they are very specific and distinctive.<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Beatles<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you talk about influences in music it\u2018s nearly impossible to not even shortly mention The Beatles. At this point it is not necessary to refer further on the impact they had on pop music or pop culture as such, but to us personally it is\u00a0 the music we grew up with, the music we listened to when we were kids, because our parents listened to it. So you can definitely say that The Beatles greatly formed our understanding of music from an early age on.<\/span><\/div>\n



<\/p>\n

Caribou – Our Love<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Caribou\u2018s \u201eOur Love\u201c is a wonderful example of an entire album that deals with an break up but never gets too heavy. Actually it feels more uplifting than anything else even though it is very emotional. Caribou is such an amazing producer who creates such great hooks with little vocal samples or synth patterns. The song \u201eSilver\u201c shows very much what he is capable of, also in combination with the lyrics that appear at first fairly direct and simple, but when you put it all together it gets kind of genius. Another great track on the album is \u201eSecond Chance\u201c which starts like a pop song in an untypical way for Caribou but as he detunes the synthezisers more and more throughout the track, it gets a strong artistic twist and an entirely new feeling. There are a lot of unique things to discover on this album and Caribou in general is an outstanding artist.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Daft Punk – Homework<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

When Daft punk released their debut album Homework in the 90\u2019s it definitely changed our perspective on electronic music and blew our minds. The French duo is such an amazing and creative producer team they simply don\u2019t compare to anyone else. The song \u201eAround The World\u201c became a huge statement with his super tasteful, funky style and uplifting vibe. The vocal sample is so catchy and cool and if you listen to it more than 20 years later it still instantly puts a smile on your face and makes you want to dance. And there is also a track like \u201eHigh Fidelity\u201c which is so playful and groovy on one side and on the other side has this kind of romantic French charm to it. The programmings and sampling is simply on point and everything works so well together. The whole album is just amazing and fills us with joy on many levels.<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Prodigy – The Fat Of The Land<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The level of energy The Prodigy creates is just outstanding and overwhelming. To this day songs like \u201cSmack My Bitch UP\u201c or \u201cFirestarter\u201c don\u2019t compare to anything else. If you\u2019re into electronic music there is no way around The Prodigy and this album.They mix of genres they produced with their influences out of Trip Hop, Punk Rock and especially their breakbeats inspired us very much. In general we can definitely say that the electronic music in the 90\u2019s coming out of the Uk had a big impact on us. The death of frontman Keith Flint was a huge loss to the world of music, but we\u2019re also very grateful for everything he left behind, may he rest in peace.<\/span><\/div>\n
