Artist description Your * Best * Friend fuse atmospheric syntheziser landscapes with creative drum sequences and ever evolving bass lines. On occasion, however, Nico grabs his drumsticks, Thomas lets go of his beloved synths and grabs a Rhodes or Hammond, and Jarus starts slapping his Warwick Fortress Masterman and the sweetest, groovyest funk is created.

Music Style A mixed bag of Chill, Funk and Psychedelia.

Musical Influences Warp Records' artists, Leftfield, The Orb, Primus, Radiohead, Mike Oldfield, Jean Michel Jarre

Similar Artists As a rule we try to be as original as possible at all times. But Aphex twin, King Crimson, The Orb, Radiohead, Leftfield and many others inspire us.

Artist History There is something terribly wrong in the music industry these days. Everything played in the radio sounds like it has all been composed over a few different models. Conformity sells. Your * Best * Friend wants to go to the place of creativity where every new track is a unique entity with a life of it's own - not just another clone. Every little detail is giving great attention. It's all about showing the listener the places we have been, the atmospheres, the feelings. But then again we call ourselves Your * Best * Friend because we believe music is our best friend.

Group Members Three crazy lads from Denmark - Nico, rhythm and stealth, Thomas, a synthetic synth engineer, and Jarus, a crazed slappin', tappin' subsonic manipulator.

Instruments Warwick Fortress Masterman Bass Guitar, a restored Pearl drumset from the sixties, a Korg Trinity, an Emu Xtreme Lead-1, various effect modules, and of course a magnitude of creative energies. We use a simple Roland VS-840GX multitracker recorder. Post production Wavelab 3. We've recently acquired Reason 2 and use it mostly for sequencing drums.

Press Reviews "There are some great textural combinations and dynamics at work here, from hollow ambient drums to sweeping synths, right back to flanged synth. All of these contrasting, complimenting elements are tied together in an almost flawless manner that has to be admired. These guys have a good ear and have evidently paid great attention to detail in their work." - Anton Wulfen of "Gods of Music" Full review: http://www.godsofmusic.com?rID=2856
