Electribe 101 stalked Kraftwerk when we were in Düsseldorf with Depeche Mode. We were so thrilled to be even in the same city and kept trying to call them. And Komputerliebe is my own personal favourite electronic song of all time. I could go on and on. #FlorianSchneider

Hearing thousands of people sing 'Your Loving Arms' at Glasto is not something i brush off as a nice event.I am really chuffed.Never thought the meaning would be one of a kind of unity for a new crowd. And I have Fred to thank for his brilliant cover version #glastonbury2023

Our release of Electribe 101 - Heading for the Night (The Frankie Knuckles Mixes) might be on the 9th July. Not set in stone but i better start tooting the horn about it. We've gone to town with mastering, artwork etc. and are extremely excited to share it all.. Bring on July.

I received an email today that i've been approved for another grant/album funding. I cannot believe this. So now i'm not working on two, but three albums, with tight deadlines each. I don't know whether i should dance, get drunk, buy drugs or freak out first.
