As you can see, I've analyzed 2008 through my special music-glasses. And what can I see? Blog-House everywhere, the whole Berlin Battery crew is tried of that kind of sound. During the year we tried to figure out something new, a banging, danceable sound without playing fidget stuff all night long. And it worked so good! From disco, to house, to electro, to soft rock & west coast-sound. So let's see if 2009 will bring something new to us...
