REMIX EMPIRE STATE HUMAN
In collaboration with Laptoprockers,
Empire State Human and Ninthwave Records offer an exclusive competition to remix the track "Melancholic Afro" featuring Wolfgang Flür, member of the classic '70s Kraftwerk line-up during the legendary Autobahn album and tour. The band still can't believe their luck.
Kraftwerk meets Human League?
"Wolfgang Flür created the backbeats and some catchy vocal lines for Melancholic Afro. Other than that it has a Prodigy feel, as well as a T-Rex feel, we think."

Empire State Human (Dublin, Ireland) formed in 1999 and play instrumental based electronic music with a retro-electro edge. Their music is a combination of analogue and digital synthesized sound, mixed with powerful rhythms and overlaid with strong pop vocal melodies.
Empire State Human just finished their sixth studio album "Audio Gothic", which will be released on CD in North America with Ninthwave Records next month.
