SPIELTRIEB
Is Leopold Faerberboeck and Gordian Gleiss

NF: What’s the story of Spieltrieb?

SP: We have known each other from Hamburg for years, but we never had contact. Last summer we got in touch trough friends again and ended up lying naked on the floor of a kitchen next to each other- because we were playing “Flaschendrehen”- a kids game. It’s hard to explain. True story…

NF: You should call one of your songs like that- could be a nice name for a vinyl!

SP: The girls who were with us- drank alcohol from our bodies- and while lying on the floor, we realized that this could be the beginning of a real friendship. And now we are here, making music together in London.

NF: Did you move there together?

SP: We met a few times in Hamburg- listened to music- talking about it- checking the vibe- got fucked up of each other- and Leo had plans moving to London- and Gordian as well- so it was kind of a lucky coincidental.

NF: What's your past experience in music?

SP: Gordian is more into producing- Leo is more into dj-ing and has now a big producer on his side. But we're doing both both.
Gordian produced a lot of rap music in Germany- had a few top ten releases.
Leopold played a lot in Paris (Social Club, Regine, Chacha), also in Munich (Baby) and Berlin, and also at the Dockville Festival.
We both played a lot in Hamburg Baalsaal, Neidklub, Terrace Hill.
Now in London Snack, Crackle, and Pop residents.

NF: Spieltrieb started when?

SP: September 2009

NF: What's your vision?

SP: Producing good tunes- Club tunes, as well as songs you can just listen to. But we try to bring good music, club and other kinds to the kids- we want to surprise people.

NF: How would you explain your style of music?

SP: We want to find new sounds and mix different styles in a new way- we're doing collages influenced basicly by German house and techno but as well by pop. We’re playing around with samples and synths- play instinct style till we like it.
Its electronica mixed with techno and house in various orders. We like African rythmics but Balkan rythmics as well, French chanson and German techno Flächen.
Berlin has got a strong techno sound- Hamburg is coming up.

NF: Where can people listen to some stuff from you?

SP: Right now at soundcloud.com/spieltrieb and twitter http://twitter.com/spieltriebuk.
We’ re building our website and myspace- will be spieltrieb.co.uk- but its not online yet- next week it will be.
We’ ve got a facebook fansite which is updatet every day.

NF: With which machines and programs do you work?

SP: Ableton live, Macbook, Headphones and 5000000000 plugins, which we have no clue about, a cheap soundsystem and a bed.

NF: What's the place to be right now in London?

SP: Dalston. Around the east there some cool places- but really depends on the promoters doing the night.

NF: Where's electronic music going to? What are the trends?

SP: At the moment more melodic, as well in techno but also in electro, which we like. Sounds you wouldn’t expect and vocals are coming back- German vocals.
We had the feeling that on a lot of fashion events in London they play or perform German music with German vocals.
We're planning a German vocal track as well- we already got horny- with a bit of German vocals where we cut up German yodeling sounds.

NF: Vocals like in house?

SP: Yeah, but like good house. House is not a bad word anymore thanks god.
And no obvious sung vocals.

NF: What does this mean?

SP: Weird cut and effected vocals- not like David Guetta vocals, which we respect, but don’t really like.

NF: What trends you see at night? What do people wear?

SP: London has this kind of party uniform- depends where you go- juicy clothes. At some places you have people with bomberjackets, really colourful hoodies/shirts, and new era- at some places the standard caroshirt style and at other ones really fashionable people, really depends where you go.

NF: What do you think of Lady Gaga?

SP:gaga
We prefer this kind of stuff-a combination of an amazing track, cool people and an even more amazing video:

Gil Scott-Heron - "Me And The Devil" **OFFICIAL HD VIDEO**

NF: What’s the difference between Paris and London nightlfe?

SP: London nightlife is much dirtier- the parties are going longer, more afterparties, more drugs-more techno and its cool to go to techno clubs or warehouse parties, while in Paris most of the people we know go to clubs like the baron, which we love too- but its not the same way of party attitude.

NF: Last question: Can you explain Flaschendrehen to our readers?

Thank you for the interview.
