Mad and Wild, a little Indie electronic music duo from Düsseldorf, are our Artists of the Day. What do they think about video games, though?
Mad & Wild is an electronic multi-genre duo from Düsseldorf, Germany. Two music nerds who decided early on to make music their profession. Locked up in a small music studio for 3 years gave the two time to find themselves musically. Their music is strongly influenced by house, hip-hop, funk and techno.
Amongst the successes they have seen is their appearance in the US at SXSW, a massive festival held each year in Austin, Texas. An article written about them in We Rave You, a leading electronic music website, is also one of their crown achievements.
One of their best remixes even got Mad & Wild air time with two big radio appearances on 3FM in the Netherlands and 1LIVE in Germany. You can find the remix, a fantastic reimagining of Lykke Li's Two Nights, on Soundcloud, along with a selection of their other tracks.
