BOTW Moodboard: Tensnake

0
0

“Something for the weekend.” It’s a phrase as ubiquitous to dance music as “get down,” “four to the floor,” or “wow, look at my hands.” So, we’ll forgive you for doubting us when we say that Tensnake‘s forthcoming debut album, Glow (out March 9 on Virgin/EMI), is the perfect record to get you all psyched up for your Friday and Saturday nights on the tiles. Across its 16 glorious tracks, Hamburg’s Marco Niemerski comes up trumps with a gleeful cocktail of pop, disco and house so infectious it should be labelled a biohazard. 

Whether it be in the day-glo, cocktail strip synths of ‘Things Left to Say’, the boisterous ’90s-tinged synth pop of ‘Good Enough to Keep’ or the Nile Rodgers-featuring, infinitely cool ‘Love Sublime’, we’ve found ourselves plastered with a constant grin all week thanks to the intoxicating effects of Glow exposure.  

So, do yourself a favour and indulge yourself with a little ‘Love Sublime’ below, before reading on for a guide to what, in turn, gives Niemerski a high in life.

Favourite Film: True Romance
TS---True-Romance
“What can I say? True Romance is an amazing film, has a brilliant soundtrack and I particularly like the theme music from Hans Zimmer. It’s also the name of my new record label!”

Favourite Fashion Outlet: Oki-ni, Acne
TS---Acne-Hamburg
“In general, I like a lot of plain stuff – no logos! – and always try to mix up designer and non-designer. I like Oki-ni. Acne have a store in Hamburg that’s great and I really like another one called Très Bien too.”

Favourite Place: Bed
TS---Bed
“My bed. It’s true! Either in bed or on the sofa; when I come back from a long tour or a particularly tough weekend on the road, this is the best place in the world.”

Favourite Place Excluding Bed: Cataract Gorge Reserve, Tasmania
TS---Cataract-Gorge
“It’s very hard, almost impossible, to pick one but I would say one of my favourite places in the world to visit was the Cataract Gorge Reserve in Tasmania. I’m a big fan of green and juicy forests!”

Favourite Food: Tiramisu
TS---tiramisu
“At the moment, tiramisu is my favourite food in the world. Why? Because it’s yummy! I just went back to an amazing restaurant in Milan called Fiore who make the best tiramisu in the world: a chocolate, sugar and rum explosion. Yum.”

Favourite Book: City of Thieves by David Benioff
TS---DavidBenioff
“My favourite book is City of Thieves by David Benioff. It’s a historical novel, a coming of age story and a black comedy based around the World War II adventures of two young men. It has a really unusual sense of humour, even though the plot is pretty dark and tough. Also, it’s so different to what I expected it to be. A big surprise.”

Favourite Actor: Various!
TS---Ari-Gold
“At the moment, Jeremy Irons, Bill Murray and Gary Oldman. But also, as I am about to go and live/work in LA, I might go for Jeremy Piven as Ari Gold; he always cracks me up!”

Favourite Drink: Espresso/Moscow Mule
TS---Espresso
“I have an expresso every single day! Why? Because it’s my drink of choice and because it’s tasty. And if I had to choose a cold drink, a Moscow Mule. Ice-cold from a copper cup.”

Favourite Superhero: Fantomas
TS---Fantomas
“It’s constantly changing. I would probably say Fantomas, a German character from the 1920s. But, I also really like Hulk.”

Favourite Show: Entourage
TS---Entourage
“I know I am very late on this one but I love this show so much! I am hoping that my forthcoming LA stay will be filled with Entourage-style moments! Actually, I am playing with Chic and Giorgio Moroder on May 10th at The Hollywood Bowl so there’s one already.”
