Band Members: er... me.
i'm part of:
-Bodyrockers-DJ Team with Dario Rohrbach and Tom Nagy. We spin the whole range of electronic dance music, concentrating on whether a tune fits at the current time, rather that selecting it because it's new and/or of a given style. however, being absolute junkies for new music, we spent dubious amounts of time looking for the latest next level shit. in recent times we've somewhat gone into deeper house and techno-territories, looking to play the music that makes you forget everything at 8AM. less peaktime (could someone please un-invent this hideous word?), more dreamy state of unconsciousness.
-Bali Exzessiv/Nagy & Frankenberg with Tom Nagy. Somewhere between tribal rhythms and cheesy melodies, that we then end up deleting again because they're over the top. hence the shortage of tunes.
-myspace.com/piratesfrommars with S'ro, keeper of the seven colours of horan, sheikh al-n'jineer, admiral darkstar and he-who-has-no-name-yet. A marriage of two proper musicians and three studio/turntable-geeks, resulting in weird songs beween the acoustic and electronic worlds. Due to not-so-unforseen circumstances of parenthood, which (so far) concern 4 of the 5 members, we are fighting a heavy struggle against time to bring our first batch of tunes towards an album-worthy state.

...plus i'm head of music at Radio X, 94.5 FM, forcing approx. 50'000 daily listeners to succumb to my musical preferences.
