"You can do yoga while listening to this or dance the whole night away in the club". - A reaction from the audience that could hardly describe this music more aptly.

MIC IN THE FACE IS NOT ON PURPOSE is a project by Cologne based drummer Jo Beyer and Dutch singer and songwriter Fré. It explores the idea of everyone on the planet with access to social media having a platform these days. How do we use it? Are we aware of its power? Would we say the things we comment to someone’s face? MITF deals with these questions and extends it to the platform musicians have, how do they use it, when you’re on that stage, what do you choose to say?

This duo represents a mix of electronic dance music, electronica and avant pop with many small elements that always provide surprises and distinguish this music from continuous Four on the Floor - EDM. A special feature is the subtle influence from the field of film music, which ensures that the music sometimes dives into epic-cinematic atmospheres in addition to the electronic-clubbing character. The consistent use of acoustic drums in combination with vocals, live synths, e-guitar and sampled voice sequences creates a warm and lively color all of its own. It is music to listen to consciously, to let run and create atmosphere, to dance, to let fall or to drive at night and you are never quite sure whether you are on an electro trip or part of a movie scene.
