I welcome you to visit Stockholm! A royal national capital city of Sweden was build (According to the legends),upon non less then 14 isles, first time mention at the Viking ancient saga tales, the "crown town" is living and extending through the centuries, Stockholm had become a lullaby for Eurodance and pop music. Just watch over the names: Ace of Base, Dr Alban, E-Type, beautiful September but the most important it’s a hometown of the Swedish Eurodance mega artist: Basic Element, with whom I have the extremely pleasure to talk about music, art and least but not last forthcoming plans
E)-Hello you guys. I wonder about the weather at Sweden, You see at the hot Israeli weather
We're all gettin'g boiled
J- The weather is really fine in Sweden in July and we enjoy every hour we can get under the Swedish sun.During the summer months may – august, the weather is really warm but on the same time we get days of rain.Otherwise Sweden are known for its cold winters and we all like to ski so to us it’s perfect!
E- Basic Element was found at 1993-Golden age of the Eurodance culture .15 years after the band foundation, would you be so kind to describe about band professional height during those years Advantages, funny memories anything is more then welcome, truly)))!
J-Yeah its been a long time in the business for us.Back in the days the music scene was easier to get a grip .There ware y a regular marketplaces like TV and radio.Today good music always finds its way thru the internet.The music itself was easier to label, rock was rock and dance was dance etc.Today each artist or producer got the chance to explore different styles of music with the help of computers and the styles often gets mixed up in the process...There are as many styles of music as there are artist.We think this is rely interesting and makes club music of today wider then before.Basic Element is three persons with a different musical background and we explore a lot.This is what makes music interesting, its chances every 15th minutes.
E-Speaking by the last year’s success, the band had ended it activity for quiet a long period of time. You guys had make you’re comeback 4 years ago (2005), what happen, to make such a decision? Hunger for creativity?!
BE- We never quit touring so to us it was never really a comeback.We try to do what feels right for the time and starting to make new music felt god then.After all this years we got less pressure and nowadays we do exactly what we want.
The Basic Element way
E- Bands official video
Touch you right now, is currently a great hit (according the youtube views). Would you like the share this magic", with us? What make you to shout it the way you did?!
J)-Funny question,, the video idea was to make a joke with the old euro dance genre and the record company insisted to make is this way.
E- Time for men talk)))! Andrea Myrander the female represent of the band is really beautiful (I hope she want mind for such a compliment))).How guys are ménage you’re concert tours?! I sure, there is no single minutes because of the fans?!:)
J)-We are touring like never before right now and it’s hard to find private time.We live in Sweden and the Swedish fans are very polite and understanding.So here things are quite cool.n other countries there are more hysterical but that is a part of all this and we got no problem with it.We got the best fans.
E-Séance the foundation Basic Element discography should highly consider, after all: you had created 6 studio albums as well (non less) then 20 Singles! How do you ménage all this pressure?! The talent is surely is not enough…
J)-I don’t think we should find inspiration to make more Basic Element songs like back in the hardcore 90s.Today we focus on different things and try to develop the band and collaborating more than before in the studio.The last five singles got not so much in common and that is only the result of who we are.Peter Thelenius are the melody guy and Jonas Wesslander and Tomas Kollder (Producer) make the music and the productions.To us the main work is to find the right music environment and to present the vocals in the best way.
E)-Dear Element’s, I thank you so for this amazing interview. It was truly a pleasure to talk about everything with you people-Band I have grew up with.Would you like to send some last words for the Israeli fans
J)-Hello Israel!!! We know a lot about your country and hope to visit you soon.Yours truly / Basic Element
