#1 Thanks for taking the time to do this interview Vonairs. Tell us a bit about yourself,
your name, age, where you're from and an interesting fact if you like...

We're two swedish guys, Petter and Elias, in our early twenties who loves to play and produce
housemusic. we live for it. At the moment we live i Stockholm, Sweden, most of the time in our
studio (haha). When we're not in the studio we spend time on the nightclubs or at the gym, gotta
work on them biceps for all the fistpumping done on stage.

#2 -Is there a story behind your name Vonairs?

Not really, when we decided to start produce housemusic together I (Elias) just thought of a
catchy band-name and Vonairs crossed my mind pretty quick. Petter and the other guys in the
crew liked it and here we are now. I think it's cool. Vonairs is like ”viktory on air”.

#3 -How long have you been a band?

Since March 2013.

#4 -What first got you interested in forming housemusic-duo?

I (Petter) think it was around 2008 when I first heard "555" with Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve
Angello and was completely stoked. Yeah, around that year for me (Elias) too. We have always
been interested in music overall but it's just something special with housemusic, it's so
motivating, every song can mean so much in different ways to the croud, so much energy.

#5 -What/who inspires your music?

The feeling when you making a melody/song from head to reality is magic. And when people
around you confirmes that its a great melody/song, something that you, together, made from
your mind... Probably on of the best feelings you can get.

#6 -Do you see being in a band as a career, or as a hobby?

Vonairs is definitely our carrier together.

#7 -What are you trying to do with your music? Do you want to help your community?
Are you trying to get rich? What is your goal for your music?

Housemusic is what we love, we want to deliver great housemusic to the world, that is what we
live for. Of couse we want to be able to provide our selfes on the music we create, but rich
should just be a bonus.

#8 -Have you ever performed live? How did it feel?

ROSE Nightclub , one of the biggest and crowdiest in Stockholm, crazy gig with a great crowd.
We droped our upcoming track Fucamo and the reaction from the people in the crowd were
great. Hard to describe who great that felt.

#9 -Do you have any kind of management, publishing or distribution team behind you? If
so what are their responsibilities?

Yeah, we have a crew behind us doing management and many things more. We're a really
good team, both as friends and as colleagues.

#10 -What are some accomplishments that you have achieved, and are most proud of?

I think we're most proud of the to upcoming tracks we're soon releasing, PITA and Fucamo.

#11 -What one tip would you give to other aspiring independent artists?

Just work hard, believe in yourself and don't give up, it's a bumpy ride even for Tiesto
sometimes!

#12 -Where can we hear your music online?

You can catch Vonairs on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, Soundcloud and at our web vonairs.com
from janyary 2014

Right now we working on a remix on "This Is The Song" by Nause, and two other melodic
tracks.

Comparisons to the great Sade Adu aside, soul singer and producer TENI is an African star in her own 

right, with the likes of Afrobeat co-creator Tony Allen, the BBC and original Rock bible NME counted as 

huge fans of hers. Her latest single “Your Love Is The Key” is a stunning and sensual number which sees 

the eclectic musician match her sultry captivating vocals to a slow-burning Afrobeat-infused groove-filled 

dance milieu, to stunning effects.



Shot in Labadi Beach in Accra, Ghana, the visuals for “Your Love Is The Key” is a simple, natural and 

ethereal experience which not only accentuates the sultry uniqueness of the single but also pays homage to 

early 80’s photo-cinema and music. In full diva mode, Teni is glorious as she channels her sensuality and 

shows off her beautiful silhouette - rendering her viewer in awe and fully spellbound. Afrodisiac the 

debut album by Teni is out now on iTunes, Amazon MP3 and Spotify.

Ivan Mihaljevic & Side Effects - Counterclockwise Review


There are certain things you expect of Eastern European rock groups: competent musicianship, poetry, and a love of beauty that includes the sadder side of life. But on their new album Counterclockwise, Ivan Mihaljevic and Side Effects present a cohesive work of great artistry, and do it with confidence. 

This ambitious album has thought-provoking lyrics married to music that really does rock. But it also has beautiful melodies and subdued moments of reflection. There's even a hint of steampunk and classical on the haunting track "Eclipse." This isn't just a set list of random songs, either. It's 48 minutes of a continuous musical experience -- and your neighbors won't hate it if you play it loud! 

The album begins with a tiny intro song, "Too Much Is Not Enough." Then the band swings into "Build Your Destiny," a blast of encouragement in dark times. If you were starting to think it was sounding too poppy, the guitar solo will convince you otherwise! But instead of another upbeat song, as would be traditional in most albums, the next song is "What Is Underneath," a moody meditation on the deceptions and hidden motivations of friends and loved ones. Drums and guitar go to town on this one to keep it from dissolving into depression. But the guitar solo's defiance fades away to even more gritty reflection on selfishness and lies. Mihaljevic and his bandmates do a passionate a capella ending to this song. Then comes the first long song of the album, "Driving Force", which features driving rhythms and driving guitar, of course! We now learn that "Too Much Is Not Enough" was just a taster for this song as Mihaljevic swings into the lonesome verse and powerful chorus. Internal rhymes and philosophical questions are handled with the unpretentiousness of a late night, darkness, and the need to know. Arabic and Indian-inspired sounds join the mix. "Gilded Cage" begins with the sound of a clock ticking, and then enters into the question of redeeming not just sins, but wasted and lost time. There's some really skillful acoustic guitar work here. I could listen to this track again and again. "Gift of Life" is another longer track with amazing guitar, dealing with regret for a friend's loss to death. The piano bit near the start is profoundly unsettling. Things have to go up from there, and "Time Travel" starts with a sort of metal playfulness. It's purely instrumental, but the instruments do plenty of singing for you. "Eclipse" is twelve minutes of amazing and awesome. "I Am" is a surprisingly quiet coda to an album, much like a concert encore. After the epic events of "Eclipse," the band is determined to go on -- and to continue building their destiny. Mihaljevic sings particularly appealingly on this track. And then the album ends, on a harp dissonance. 

I haven't said enough about the wonderful playing by all the band members, or about the interaction between them that makes the band greater than its considerable parts. 

But I think this album is something special, and that you'll enjoy it more with every listen.
