Federleicht, the music duo full of smart understatement, announces its latest release for 2009. Built on minimalist structure, transparent rhythms and varying mood and tempo, Federleicht, or 'light as a feather' in English, claims its position as a star for electronic music artists. Far from the typical restrictive club style, partners Florian Schirmacher and Marc Bammann developed a project that reflects another sphere of sound-their blending works seemingly so easily, effortlessly, that each song creates a strong "ambient" feeling. Their working out of the box' has paid off for 2009, as Federleicht launches their sound into the future. With an upcoming Album-release on Night Drive Music and the "ModeRn DaDa ep" on FormResonance- Based on the famous Hit "On the streets" with Remixes by Kollektiv Turmstrasse & SIS, they serve club music from a different view. Look out for their second music video for the song "Rosa Lee", which will be delivered to the public shortly. The group's past success includes the ep "Supergooses", out on Night Drive Music. Federleicht is also featured by leading artist like Dj Hell, Trentemoeller, who all enter a different gate to their music. While Federleicht's sound transcends typical dance music, their releases has proven to be popular on the club circuit. They had already remixed a song for club figure Lawrence and the dynamic duo is open to future collaborations. Both men bring a wealth of experience to the recording studio. Singer and composer Florian Schirmacher is also known as half of the group Glowing Glisses (Poker Flat). In addition, he is part of the Here Today group (Philpot), Hatikvah (Morris/ Baalsaal) and Wareika (Eskimo, Motivbank, Tartelet), with upcoming releases on Perlon. Drawn to the themes of consumerism, modern art and nature conservancy, Schirmacher's rich voice explores responsibility without losing sight of Federleicht's unique position in the music world. Producer Marc Bammann fulfils the free spirit of Federleicht. While influenced by club heavyweights Orbital, Sphongle, Future Juju and Aphex Twin, he has developed his unique sound that provides ear candy to the listener. Federleicht's unique sound casts them in a special position: they bridge the gap between vinyl, which is usually used in the club context, and CD and digital release. The group's releases can be found in all three types of music media, in a nod to their overall appeal with the music-listening public.
