Interview with Sound of Stereo!

Most wanted dj’s this summer are most definitely Sound of Stereo. While they are hitting some of the biggest festivals in Belgium (Pukkelpop, Dour, 10 days off, Laundry Day, etc …) their succes doesn’t seem to end. While going from one gig to another they still managed to answer some small questions for us!

Where do you guys know each other from?
We met online thru myspace, discovered we live near to eachother and had some of the same friends.

Why did you choose the name “Sound Of Stereo”?
Jochen already was in a band, together with another guy, I don’t know where the name came, we just kept it because we couldn’t find something better at that time… what’s in a name you know?

Who/What made you wanting to start producing music?
Jochen is the bigger producer of us both, he already had a musical history by playing in bands. Later he got into electronic music and started producing some stuff. We have our studio at his home, He does most of the production work, we finish stuff together.

What was your very first set-up?
Dj or production? I had a lot of djstuff before sound of stereo even started. Actually I started out Deejaying with some old stuff from my dad. Productionwise jochen just started off with a Laptop and a good headphone, now the studio is expanding and growing bigger …

What was your worst dj experience?
Mixer broke down, together with tons of other PA troubles…

We see you have a great summer tour coming up. You’ll be playing at DOUR, 10 DAYS OFF, PUKKELPOP and many more. But do you guys have some sort of dream venue?
I love techno (be), and Coachella (us) for festivals, Womb (tokyo) as a Club

And where do you guys get the energy to play a few days in a row and sometimes even twice a day? Are there energy drinks involved?
Jochen drinks some redbull, I just sleep a lot

Can you give our readers a sneak peek towards any future projects?
A release on a cool label, starting with DUB ending with SIDED, a new release on LEKTROLUV in October and Touring outside Belgium

I’d like to end this interview with a rather uncommon question.
If you had 5 minutes air time on television broadcasting all over the world
What would you do?
Give the time away to people in this world who can make a difference.
