Originally starting out as a House kid, Lorenz Rhode has evolved his music into a custom blend of influences over the years.
Think one part Electro Funk, one part 80's synthesizer Megalomania, one part Old School House music, a Soul feel, occasional Krautrock or J-Pop glimpses and a certain weirdness.
Or, if you prefer name dropping: Rick James dating Chaka Khan, dancing to Daft Punk and Technotronic, making sweet love to a Stevie Wonder ballad, when suddenly a group of German robots and a Yellow Magic Orchestra come rushing into the hotel suite and ... they all decide to go to France instead. Like that.
Lorenz Rhode plays classical piano and drums, loves keyboards, likes to combine musical complexity with the straightness of club music, and still thinks synth solos are a good thing. Sometimes.
His recent collaborations with the famed Compost Records label introduced him to a wider audience. Now he's back with a new EP on Shir Khan's rapidly rising Exploited Records and hopes you like it! Furthermore, he'd like to stop writing in third person now.
