From their home base in Kiel, LEONIDEN took to the stages of summer festivals, played sold-out concerts from Berlin to Wolfsburg, founded their own label "Two Peace Signs", released their debut album and because the world is sometimes fair, what nobody could have expected happened: Suddenly LEONIDEN songs are on the radio, they win the New Music Award, are on the road 200 out of 365 days a year and their songs are streamed more than 15 million times on Spotify.
The Monako project by Sadek Massarweh, Jakob Hersch (Der Ringer) and the Canadian sound inventor Naomie De Lorimier began as a synthesis of the Hamburg and Montréal self-image: Sadek, born in Canada, came to Germany in his early 20s, built a bridge between his homeland and his adopted country, gathered the crème de la crème of Hamburg's young music underground around him with Jannik Schneider (Der Ringer), Laurens Bauer (Ilgen-Nur/EÖE), Pamier Hilal (stroem), Jan Hendrik Schnoor (Nihiling) and Valentin Hebel and has almost accidentally become the head of a Broken Social Scene-like collective between the continents. Indie rock, R'n'B, dusty trap - this is the frame of reference through which a dry, sensual groove leads, timelessly rattling and casually lounging on the chaise longue that stands by a swimming pool, somewhere on the far side of the planet Mars.Â
