Mika

Often associated with vocalist Lea Sonnek and hip-hop drummer Rainer Binder-Krieglstein (aka Binder & Krieglstein), Matthias Kertal and Simon Nola consist of the Austrian electronic house-dance duo known merely as Mika. Both creatively strike the wall initially, relying exclusively on traditional musical instruments to create music. However, once they constructed a bedroom studio room, the production function was easier. They obtained electronic devices and synthesizers to generate both cerebral and dancefloor variants of home, ambient, and midtempo pop. When Mika delivered their first materials, it was found by FM4 disk jockey BTO Spider, who performed their initial tape, “Tx.” In past due 1998, Spider asked them back again onto his display and introduced these to Klein Information mind Christian Candid. The Vienna-based label released their first established solitary, “Tomorrow,” in springtime of 1999. THE CONTRARY of Silence, an Internet-only EP, was nominated for the Amadeus Alternate Honor by listeners of FM4 upon its 2000 launch. That same 12 months, Mika provided their self-titled debut, and adopted up with Best Place, Right Amount of time in 2004.
