The artist also had two #1 AfroHouse tracks on Beatport last year, as well as a couple of collaborations with BLOND:ISH and many other artists. His own label, Hurry Up Slowly, has rapidly grown since its conception in 2020. HUS was the #2 AfroHouse Label in the world in 2022.

Doctors On Decks

Music is the Medicine with Doctors On Decks

/in /by

 

Doctors On Decks have released their first studio-album and prominent names from different genres are involved: Chris #2 from Anti-Flag, Anna Heimrath, Nhoah and Tube & Berger.

Two EPs have already been released, the singles “Now” and “The Fog” have been heard in charts, clubs, events, and radio stations worldwide. THE MINUS is a concept album in the tradition of Pink Floyd‘s “The Wall”. Not only musical parallels suggest themselves, also in terms of content it is a critique of the world we live in today.

The album is based on a sci-fi story about a mysterious black hole in the middle of a megacity – and its effects on society. It is an epic tale of being human on the crossroads of change. It takes a look at what constitutes being human, the fight for it and what developments may look like. Great philosophical and timeless themes packed into a microcosm of four ruling companies. Currently relevant topics of our time now thought a little further into the future. There are allegories, symbols and metaphors about the pandemic, refugees, increasing social injustice, powerful corporations, and the glorification of CEOs like Elon Musk or Steve Jobs.

The track “NOW”, for example, is a statement about capitalism and the epidemic spread of pharmaceutical drug abuse. But of course, hope and salvation can’t be missing. “The Fog” and “Rules & Rebels” (with singer Anna Heimrath) tell love stories, “The Rats” is a co-production with singer Chris #2 from the punk band Anti-Flag in which the revolution that our world so desperately needs is instigated. The mesmerizing falsetto vocals of Severin Su run like a thread through the album, and it becomes a driving, melodic techno opera with influences of art-rock, punk, pop, and classical music.
