Video Premiere: Kap10kurt "Dangerseekers"
Remember Kap10kurt's "Dangerseekers"?
It's that banging electro tune that I blogged about a few months ago. Kurt Uenala and Leah are taking it to the next level and will be releasing the song as a single in the next few weeks. French design collective The Holograms produced an amazing animated video to go with the high-powered, intergalactic qualities of the song.
Kap10kurt was founded by Swiss native Kurt Uenala who initially started out making music with his Atari computer and 4 track cassette recorder before he got comfortable with a full studio set-up. You can still hear the Atari influence on "Dangerseekers" that includes a few subtle video game bleeps and beeps.
Kurt told me earlier that he is a huge '80s fan, which is reflected in his music. "The '80s was when pop music was really composed and lots of time was spent on arrangements and chord structure," he said. He lists Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, ELO, Depeche Mode, Kate Bush, a-ha, Howard Jones and Thomas Dolby as some of the artists that inspired him.
He recently got to work with one of his idols when Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan invited him to play keyboards in his band and produce a few remixes.
