No.34 in the Sinchi & Friends series is Markus of @therobotscientists . The man who does it all... label boss, music curator, DJ, vinyl collector. Usually we say a few words about the mix but in this case we think he says it best himself, intrigued? you should be :-)
' Its a mixture of different styles I love including some Cosmic, Balearic, Shaman House, Ethno Disco and New Wave Tech Dance. This mix has a tropical, spiritual, magical feel and a lot of great, inspiring tunes and sounds. Hope you and your listeners enjoy.'
1) Introduce yourself?
Hi, I am Markus Schneider, one of the three guys who run Emerald & Doreen Records, one of the two vinyl collectors and Djs behind The Robot Scientists and the curator of the Something Spæcial podcast series.
2) What have been your highlights from the last 12 months?
We worked with many talented people from diverse stylistic backgrounds and from all over the world on the label. My favourite releases were the darker new wave disco releases from K-Effect, Pardon Moi, Tulioxi, FLXXX, Freudenthal and the awesome remixes from the Peter Zimmermann tracks. An unexpected highlight was that fashion designer Elisabetta Franchi licensed one of our tracks for her new online Spring/Summer 2017 campaign and a video with supermodel Toni Garrn. This felt so professional. We still do all the music as a hobby in our spare time but if we get more deals like that, we might go pro one day ;-)
3) What do you have lined up for the coming year?
We kept our slots quite open for the year so far to be flexible if new talent shows up. I personally feel the need for more positivity after two very dark years. We need solutions now that Trumpocalypse has happened. Therefore I might be inclined to release more forward-thinking, ethno, psychedelic, spiritual music as I think the solution for the mess on this planet is tightly connected to more spiritual approach to everything, to a unity consciousness, togetherness in action, not a ego dystopia. Let's wait and see. Therefore we already have scheduled a Sinchi Collective release which I really love and look forward to.
