[BIRDFEED EXCLUSIVE] Andreas Henneberg & Beth Lydi debuts on the 'Feed with "Slap Clap"!
-How long have you been creating music?
Andreas: I have been creating music since the late 90s. That’s been crazy times here in Berlin. Of course my style has changes a lot since then, partly to the technical possibilities, partly because I have found myself and what I want to be more and more in my music. Also a reason why I run so many different musical projects.
Beth: I have been a music lover and raver for most of my life, but I started to discover the process behind really making my own music maybe 8 years ago.
-What do you use to make your tracks?
Andreas: My studio and Synth collections is growing since 20 years. Stuff is coming and going and it always depends where I put my fingers on first. Steinbergs Cubase has been my software since I started. I have followed the development of this software since the early beginnings, and think this also formed my creative work a lot.
Beth: I use the software Ableton. It is actually quite funny because it is pretty different to the one Andreas uses, and I have even had Ableton tutors wondering how our relationship was still working with him on Cubase and me on Ableton. Besides that I think my MVP as hardware is the Model D and the TB-303.
-How and when did you first discover Dirtybird?
Andreas: One of my most played tunes back in the days was probably Claude VonStrokes „Turbosteppa“. Since that time I’m flashed by the fresh and innovative sound of the label which is still completely different from all the stuff happening over here in Europe.
Beth: We have both known and loved the label for a long time. And of course played a lot of the music that has been released here. Dirtybird has a very unique sound, there is no one like it.
-Which Dirtybird artist would you want to collaborate with the most?
Andreas: Oh there are actually a lot and it’s hard to pick one. I’ve always been a big fan of Ardalan’s productions for example. Walker & Royce, Steve Darko, Kevin Knapp, Claude, Will Clarke or Justin Jay inspired me a lot in the past.
Beth: Definitely VNSSA or Ardalan, such great energy coming from these two <3
-If your entire life was a movie, what title would best describe you?
Andreas: Watch like nobody is dancing
Beth: To New Beginnings
-What’s the best concert you’ve ever been to?
Andreas: I’ve been to a Massive Attack show here in Berlin around 15 years ago in a huge old industry building and that was one of a kind experience. Nobody had a camera in his phone and it was amazing! haha
Beth: I think it must still be one of the very first I ever went to with my mom while she was still alive. It was Janet Jackson’s album tour for “Velvet Rope”. It was probably being at a big concert for the first and last time with my mom that made it so special though.
