Spotlight On Elektagaaz
Elektagaaz exists in both the real world and in a fictional universe, a volatile blend that can be bewitching or bewildering or both. The music too can bewitch or bewilder, drawing on such far flung influences as classical music, hip hop, rock, club, techno, pop, dance, film noir, comic strips and video games– all precipitated by Poppo Redband’s neurological condition which causes him to see music as well as hear it. The Penguin Rocks presents this interview with Elektagaaz.
