Hello there,
my name is Michael Seifert. I work as a music editor and author at Radio Fritz which happens to be the biggest youth radio station in the Berlin area and is part of the ARD network (something very similar to the BBC).
Apart from that I am also the presenter of a weekly show called Almost Famous on German station Byte FM . In that 120 minutes show I choose to play lots of new (and quite often still unsigned) bands and artists to introduce them to my audience as well as I do interview well known acts. Here are a few that have been guests on my show: Calvin Harris, The Ting Tings, MGMT, The Kills, Hot Chip, Franz Ferdinand, Arctic Monkeys, Mando Diao, Florence & The Machine, White Lies, Röyksopp, The Temper Trap and also Enya and Jim Kerr of The Simple Minds. Yes, indeed!
And for those wondering what's all that got to do with Kontrastradio. Well, that's a project I started a couple of years ago and which is now in some kind of hiatus, because I'm simply to busy with Fritz and Byte FM. At least the name stuck with me and it's a good one as it translates to Contrast Radio, obviously something I am working for.
So as you can imagine from what you read so far my whole life is about new exciting bands and artists and finding them in the abyss we call the globalized world. So if you are in a band or have a solo thing going, please feel free to get in touch with me. I get a lot of messages but I'll try to answer them all. Promised!
If you want to send your demos or promotional stuff, do so by shipping it to the following address:

There's much more interesting music out there than one could have a presentiment of. So let's bring it on!!! That's what we are here for!!!
Cheers,
Michael
