Mix Number 12 in the Sinchi & Friends series is @gemini-brothers .
The twins from Romania are hot property at the moment, having recently signed to Skint Records and also have one of the year's must have records soon to be released on vinyl, via NightNoise. Furthermore they were actually one of the first major names to support Sinchi and remixed our debut track Aether Drift. So we're delighted to feature our good friends and share a peach of a mix.
1) Introduce yourself?
We are Gemini Brothers, twin brothers, Bucharest based, music lovers and record collectors. We consider ourselves two fine gentlemen wearing scarves, hats and braces.
2) How would you describe your sound?
We never thought to have a wordy name for what we play or produce. Of course we have many influences, from psychedelic to acid or from nu-disco to industrial techno. Coming as well from this part of Europe, being an old Ottoman Empire Eyalet/ Pashalik there are still plenty of oriental influences from rhythmic drums and dulcimers or byzantine vocals around the tracks feelings. We don’t see it as going only in that direction, but there is a big plus having more influences than the western people, culturally speaking.
OK, let’s call it ‘Geminilicious’!
3) What are your plans for 2016?
First of all, for this year is very important from our new productions but of course we don’t let gigs outside our plans, there are in our main focus as well and we may say there is a big difference since last years, especially during the summer time with important festivals appearances, like our forthcoming gig at ‘Thump’ Scene from Lovebox Festival in London or ADE in the autumn, plus more and more to be announced.
All these years we were involved more in making remixes and less originals, but 2016 will be for sure a year of original releases! There are some coming up like with SKINT Records, an EP with three originals, featuring Grammy Award winner Shahin Badar (yes, you know her from the Prodigy’s ‘Smack My B*tch Up’ back vocal) and a remix by one of our musical heroes Mr. Justin Robertson! This EP will be out during summer period!
Now we’ve just announced to launch a new vinyl EP release on our managers label Night Noise with a track called ‘Lost Babylon’ including remixes from the almighty In Flagranti, Moscoman and Daniel Kyo!
There will be at least two appearances in some really great compilations and there are some remixes in cue, so be ready to hear more from us!
