‘We make it sometimes difficult for ourselves’
In just over 20 years, Rotersand have built a serious reputation. When Gun and Rascal—soon joined by producer/DJ Krischan J.E. Wesenberg—launched Rotersand in 2002, they were often associated with Future-Pop artists. Over the years and across the albums they released, however, their music proved far more difficult to categorize. I prefer to describe it as a blend of influences: from Electro-Pop to EBM, at times extremely danceable and club-oriented, at others more floating and atmospheric.
From album to album, Rotersand have consistently confirmed that they possess a distinctive sound of their own, while always maintaining a strong focus on intelligent lyrics and a critical reflection on the world around us. Their latest album, “Don’t Become The Thing You Hated”, released last year on Trisol and Metropolis Records, is yet another testament to the German group’s talent and flair for composition and grand sound production. I spoke with the musical mastermind Krischan J.E. Wesenberg.
