German and Swiss Artists at Hanoi Sound Stuff Festival
Rocking the stage on the second day at Hanoi Sound Stuff Festival 2013 (DJ night) are the energetic duo Pitch Tuner from Germany and Mimetic from Switzerland.
The History of Pitchtuner starts with a mix tape when Miki Yoshimura on her stop in Germany saw a show of Johannes Marx’s former band Planet 9 and asked him for a tape afterwards. Planet 9 had only released vinyl, so they had to make an appointment to make things happen. And things did happen! Shortly after, they formed Pitchtuner and since then has toured through Europe, Japan & China, releasing three albums to date, and ruining several cars and tour buses.
Pitchtuner built its style around a great combination of indie DIY spirit + 100% dance floor compatibility. Music critics loved their sound describing them as “Rocking Pop on electronic basics: smart and naive at the same time, exotic by nature, freshly grooving”
