Do you ever get goosebumps when listening to a certain song or part of it? Or do you get goosebumps with a nice melody, powerful drumming and similar sounds? If yes, then you are fine. To start. But your brain is a little special in this case. That is what the scientists claim.
I met Booka Shade, a cute duo synonymous with tech house and techno at the turn of the millennium, right before their performance at the InMusic festival in Zagreb. Although they claim that they are not "Berlin", I personally find it difficult to place them anywhere else than in the bubbling cauldron of the ever-faster growing and popular Berlin techno scene, where only the best are born. I talked to them about the new Galvany Street album, on which they deviated from their classic sound, but they did not impress me any less.

German Kraftwerk are electronic music pioneers who have been creating since the 1970s. The seal they left or they still leave it, it is practically immeasurable.

Bicycle manufacturer Canyon announced that they designed and produced a limited series of racing bicycles together with a musical group, which also took part in the Tour de France. The model was named the Ultimate CF SLX Kraftwerk.

Excuse me? Let's start from the beginning. To start, imagine what your favorite song would sound like. Yes, what would it look like. On a sheet of paper, the facade of a house or a canvas, it doesn't matter. Think about what colors you would use, what characters you would draw, whether you would use brushes or something else, etc. Well, now you can hang your poem on the wall without crayons or other accessories. All you have to do is learn about Vibrato.

It looks like a keyboard. Well, it could also be the keyboard. Technically, it is a MIDI controller, which musicians will be very happy with.
