Interview with Marcus Schössow ( 19.12.2008 - 19:20 GMT UTC )
1. After listening to your tracks carefully, it could be said that some of them boast a very dark feeling in contrast to more luminous tracks such as "Progresia - The shelter". Asking for an introspective answer, what lies inside the hood that makes that big difference ? Did something happen that marked your music and your life ? Are there two Shössows inside you ?
Marcus Schössow: Impressive question ! And, yes, there are two schossow, a very kind gentle emotional and a very very ruff bastard. I prefer them both, it makes my life alot more fun! All the Progresia's tracks are made with a very strong feeling of either disappointment or love, I think tears behind sun glasses means by far the most to me. I would consider to be a borderline I guess... not a psycho, but right on the boarder hahaha !
2. Please name us what have been your greatest gig, and the most disastrous one.
Marcus Schössow: Most horrible was a gig in Norway 2 years ago for 5 people in a club for like 1000 people, promoter forgot to do marketing. Oh well, those 5 who showed up ended up in the bar getting very very drunk ! Best gigs hmm, it's always good when it's good, but Ukraine, Slovakia and Poland always gets naughty, filthy and really really wild !
3. How do you see yourself in the years to come ?
Marcus Schössow: I just wanna do my thing :)
4. Is there a specific fact that drove you to begin your musical career ?
Marcus Schössow: It was way to dig into myself and be alone in my own little world. Then I found similar minded people and I have became very very social ! But I love to dance and I love to party, it's something that makes me go on in this world of falseness. An euphoric moment in front of 10,000 people can never be fake ;)
5. Besides electronic music, what do you enjoy listening ?
Marcus Schössow: Laidback rock music like Jose Gonzales, Coldplay etc..
6. Is there a track that actually keeps you out of sleep ?
Marcus Schössow: 93 returning remix holdens of nothing, how da hell did he came up with that ??
7. If you had to choose the perfect ambient to make a gig, how would it be, where would it be and why ?
Marcus Schössow: In a shady basement club for about 1,000 people, no air condition, good sound system and then back to back with my great mates from my old hometown, (ie: Thomas Sagstad, Sebastian Brandt, Max Kristensson, Alyosha, Mazin Abood etc).
8. There's a rumor going around that you worked on a track with Casey Keyworth aka Breakfast. Is this true or it's just a silly joke someone invented ?
Marcus Schössow: Hell yeah, it's true, I think it will be out soon ! It's very experimental but deffo a forward step for today's trance sound.
9. How has your country's culture influenced your music, if at all ? We all know Sweden has loads of Viking stories
Marcus Schössow: Not at all, Sweden only has long winters, it drives us nuts so we make loads of music !
10. Anything extra you would like to add, just to wrap up, or a word to your fans and/or TranceSound.net members ?
Marcus Schössow: Follow your inner voice and heart !
