Markovic and Thermostatic

Markovic's debut album Adoreus has received extremely good reviews in Sweden. The album will be released February of this year in Germany together with the Supermusic label. They will tour in Germany and the UK in March. Apparently, the band is simply amazing live and Johan, the singer, sings just as well live as on CD!

Thermostatic was discovered in the summer of 2003 in Gothenburg by Vox and Charlie. The track "I Want To Be A Marilyn" was recorded under rather spontaneous circumstances and quickly gained an underground cult-status. The band-name Thermostatic was suggested by Michael Strandtoft of the band Helm as the “-Perfect name for charming electronic music. The combination of thermo and static actually beckons the style of the music, since it is both warm and strict at the same time”. When the tune finally reached DigiDroid’s ears he immediately fell in love with the catchy sound and overall atmosphere and also felt that this easlily could fit in the main theme of his own sound. Not long after he joined in and also brough his long time collaborator TiN. The duo then turned into a quartet.

The track "Private Machine" was recorded and stated the characteristics of the nowadays well-established Thermostatic sound. The song wasn’t even finished when it started to draw the attention of DJ’s and club-heads. When it finally landed as a one track CD-R at Christer Björndahl´s (driving force behind Club Spacelab) desk, he was quickly overwhelmed and determined to book the band for his club. In september 2004 the group themselves released an EP containing four songs to offer the visitors at the Spacelab gig. A limited edition of 50 copies was created and the band hoped to sell atleast 20-25 pieces… - All copies were consumed within 20 minutes after the show.

The electro-saga continued and Thermostatic was contacted by Wonderland Records, This led to a collaboration that eventually ended up in the release of "Joy-Toy"– the first Thermostatic album. Thermostatic won the prize for "Best Newcomer 2005" at the SAMA festival! Currently the band is promoting the two singles from "Joy-Toy" and are working on new material.
