About the album

The Matangi Quartet and DJ Kypski are both very well-known in their own field of music. But both want to broaden their horizon and that is where they meet. "Electromantique" explores the world of classical music together with for instance dance.

The music of Electromantique seamlessly goes from hip hop to minimal music, from electro to baroque, from dubstep to experimental. They perform and play live together. This is not a string quartet playing along with a dj or a dj who puts a few beats under some strings. This is a real band of 5 musicians: a quintet.

Although their musical worlds are miles apart they have one common passion - the exploration and the breaking through musical barriers and the development of new and adventurous music and sounds.
