Episode Synopsis "Feelings - AlternativeDanceRockRemix"
The Mutated Son of a Punk With his first solo effort in 2012 Andrew enters the next act in his rollercoaster-like career. After being the puppet master behind many projects, he recorded with "Feelings" his debut as a vocalist. Andrew Cane started out as a guitarist and songwriter in punk-bands, mutated his style and played in hard rock-bands, wrote and performed songs for the Eurovision Song Contest, produced a critical acclaimed Understatement-Indie-Rock-Band-with-a-Big Man-Attitude in 2005 plus he wrote and produced the backing tracks for a swedish singer-song-writer with a I-am-a-Little-Helpless-Girl-Attitude in 2008. The original release "Feelings" is described as Alternative Guitar Rock. There are quite a lot keyboard sounds, the kick drum is well accentuated and makes one think of dance music. On Beatport the songs would be likely in the genre "Indie Dance". The remix of "Feelings (AlternativeDanceRockRemix)", released in May 2012 goes even further in the direction of dance music with a strictly four-on-the-floor beat and reduced instrumentation. While the original mix is around 103 BPM, the "AlternativeDanceRemix" is around 120 BPM. Andrew's work shows a constant attempt to combine rock with electronic music. This might be a good cause for a musician, whose music had already supported AC/DC on their tours in 2001, 2003 and 2009, in order to survive in a world of electronic music. In a summary Andrew's music might be described as groovy, alternative electro-dance-rock with the attitude of a mutated son of a punk. And a very distinctive voice.
