We met with two Noble artists Midori Hirano and Kashiwa Daisuke along with label boss Junji Kubo in Berlin a couple of weeks ago. Special thanks goes to Midori for acting as an impromptu translator as well as host.

We also have an interview recorded on our recent Scandinavian adventure with Danish beauties Under Byen. Morten and Sarah from the band talked us through the intrigues and intricacies of writing and playing as an 8 piece, as well as the affect composing music for films has had on the band.

The inclusion in the show of a track by Germany's Stabil Elite led to the following Google translation classic:

"Two electronics, Nikolai Szymanski and Lucas Croon, guitarist Martin Sonneberger and the courage of the bridge. The bridge is to connect Chicago and Dusseldorf, supported by pillars of danceable electronic music, daring neo cabbage and catchy Electropop. Exciting the device with which the band goes to work."

Make sure to click on 'artist info' for links and extras like the above for each of the artists we feature. Thanks to all those involved in this weeks show and to the artists for letting us include their music.
