Seaside
This album, with its 13 new tracks, is a memory of some unforgettable vacations on an old country estate on the German Baltic Sea between Kiel and Eckernförde. The gravel crunched under the tires of the light blue VW Golf as we drove along the avenue. Tall trees swaying in the wind cast dancing shadows on the path that led directly to the manor house. Through the estate's avenue, one could see directly out to sea. The estate, nestled somewhere between rapeseed fields and the salty Baltic Sea breeze, seemed like it had stepped out of time. It was the…

Land Of Legends
This album is a declaration of love for the Dutch province of Limburg. My wife and I love long bike rides. Limburg, the southernmost province of the Netherlands, is a true paradise for cyclists. In contrast to the flat north of the country, Limburg surprises with rolling hills, winding roads and breathtaking views over the Meuse, valleys, forests and historic villages. The Burgundian lifestyle in the Dutch province of Limburg describes a special way of living and enjoying life – an attitude that stands for cosiness, good food, conviviality and joie de vivre. Although Limburg belongs to the Netherlands, the…

XX
XX marks the 20th anniversary of Son Electronique. In 2004 it wasn’t very comfortable to produce music only in the box, meaning only with a computer and software instruments and effects. Those days I used a lot of real hardware-keyboards and synthesizers. I used a lot of outboard gear which isn’t necessary these days, such has a microKORG, a Korg NS5R, a Yamaha CS1x and an AN1x, a Yamaha TG7, a Creamware Odyssey and a Roland JV-1010. Currently I only use the Yamaha TG77 and the Yamaha AN1x because Yamaha doesn’t offer them as software like big companies like Roland…

Souvenir
Step into a neon-tinted time capsule with Souvenir, the latest release from Son Electronique. This record channels the fading warmth of late-summer sunsets and the cool edge of the urban nightlife from a bygone era, drawing rich inspiration from the driving basslines of New Order, the shimmering synthscapes of Jan Hammer's Miami Vice soundscapes, the bittersweet melodic hooks of the Pet Shop Boys, and some raw, unpolished pulse of early house music. It is a cinematic, danceable journey straight back to the twilight years of the 1980s and the dawn of the 1990s.

Station To Station
Boarding the Phantom Express: Station To Station There is a distinct magic in albums that don't just ask you to listen, but force you to pack a bag. Station To Station by Son Electronique is one of those rare, atmospheric body-of-works that operates less like a record and more like a nocturnal passenger line piercing through the fog of a fictional continent. From the first chugging, synthesized downbeat, the album sets you aboard an imaginary train hurtling across a reimagined Europe. It doesn't trace real-world maps; instead, Son Electronique weaves an atlas of surreal landscapes, mythic cities, and ghost-like regional…

The Count
Speed, Elegance, and Shadows: The Legend of 'The Count' Few figures in motorsport history embodied the golden age of Formula 1 quite like Wolfgang Alexander Albert Eduard Maximilian Reichsgraf Berghe von Trips. Known affectionately to the racing world as "Taffy," the German nobleman possessed an effortless, aristocratic charm—tailored suits, relaxed confidence, and an unyielding passion for raw speed behind the wheel for Scuderia Ferrari. With the concept album The Count, electronic act Son Electronique translates this captivating duality into sound. Synthesizers surge with the rhythmic intensity of a high-revving engine, while sleek, atmospheric textures evoke the jet-set glamour of 1960s…
