Tell us about the Austrian music scene.

There is typical Austrian countryside folk music and a lot of classical music and concerts in Vienna of course, but there is also a very interesting alternative scene in electronic music. There are a lot of promising artistes coming out of Austria.

Your experience working with Lady Gaga. 
It was the management/label of Lady Gaga, who got in touch with my management, requesting a remix. I was thrilled to produce a real masterpiece for her and it means a lot to me. I believe that it can be inspiring to work with other artistes. 

Tell us about your 2017 album The Burning Spider.
I got to a point where I felt that Electro Swing is coming to an end for me and I wanted to surprise myself. That’s when I found Mojo Hand of Lightnin’ Hopkins. The sound aesthetic alone of this 1962 recording fascinated me! That’s how I started integrating and sampling some Blues music. It has been a long journey, even though I actually finished the album a year before release. But I rejected the first result, threw it out and started over. 

What can one expect from your performance at SulaFest? 
It will be a big party from beginning to the end. There will be new songs from The Burning Spider, but of course also the Parov Stelar classics and there will be very cool visuals.

At Nashik. February 3 & 4. Details: sulafest.com
