Telemark came to life when Roland Hackl and Andreas Kinzl aka Scott met in 1999 joining forces and putting their very own concept of up-to-date club music into action. Though coming from different musical backgrounds Andreas and Roland yet share a passion for quality music with an attitude. Always ready to push sonic and spiritual frontiers they learned to take every risk when doing it somewhat different: 'For me it's a huge bomb and that's not saying enough yet!

Telemark came to life when Roland Hackl and Andreas Kinzl aka Scott met in 1999 joining forces and putting their very own concept of up-to-date club music into action. Though coming from different musical backgrounds Andreas and Roland yet share a passion for quality music with an attitude. Always ready to push sonic and spiritual frontiers they learned to take every risk when doing it somewhat different: 'For me it's a huge bomb and that's not saying enough yet! There's everything in there: violent funk, overwhelming energy, very 'now' but different and it's got a huge sound with soul. A future anthem for sure!' (Geoffroy / Hi-Phen on Telemark's 'Dizzy Dancing')
Pigeonholing? Style police? Think again, it's about time to bring it to a new level! Whether it's off-the-wall jazz, raw funk, electro, breaks, old or new, Telemark simply refuse to categorize. It's all about inspiration, creativity and being open-minded about sonic experiments and adventurous methods of sound mangling.
Influences? You bet! Andreas looks back on a inimitable career as a DJ spinning Soul, Funk, Afro, Latin and Brazil from his vast records collection while Roland relies on his skills and experience from years of hustle and bustle in music production. Yet even more important, inspiration comes from connecting with like-minded musicians and uncompromising vocalists like Kudra Owens and John Whitfield aka Big John. Kudra features on the 2004 release 'I Feel Alright' providing a classy vocal performance in the song's original version: 'Mortel tout ca! I absolutely love this record, very tasty and musical!' (Rainer Truby on 'I Feel Alright'); 'House d' excellente qualité comme d'hab. Bravo. Merci encore! (Laurent Garnier on 'I Feel Alright'). Big John is doing his business on 'Sanctified' a new track scheduled for release later this year. Show less
