EB Readers Name Their Favorite Tunes
For 15 years, Electronic Beats has brought festivals to cities all over Europe, and we thought it was time to take a closer look at the people who dance with us. In our new photo column Track I See, we ask you to wax poetic about one of your favorite tracks at the moment, or whatever else you might be thinking about. All arms of Electronic Beats have roots in Cologne, so it was the logical starting point for kicking off the project, and more cities will follow.

“A few years back, at Flow Festival in Helsinki, I was at a hotel room party—Björk’s hotel room—and I sat next to Feist, who had a show there. We talked a little, and I really wanted to tell her how much I liked that she covered James Blake’s “Limit to your love.” Lucky I didn’t, because the day after I found out that it was her track, and Blake did the cover.”
Current jam: Roosevelt “Night Moves” (Greco-Roman)

“I find it astonishing that music has the power to bring so many different people together, they are in on place just because of the music they like. For that time being, they build that one unique and temporary society, which seems to work out just fine.”

“I’m the type of person who is always in need of stability and security in life. That’s probably why I love songs that give me the feeling of motion, the feeling of spontaneously running away, just because you can. Everyone knows cinnamon chasers luv deluxe, but it’s still one of my favourites for that reason.”
Current jam: Cinnamon Chasers – Luv Deluxe
