Behind the successful production of Son Kite are Sebastian Mullaert and Marcus
Henriksson. With different origins they got together in 1996 and are today
working full time as producers in their High-Hat Studio in Malmoe, Sweden.
What has made Son Kite such a
success? Here’s a little view of their backgrounds that has for sure shaped them
as producers. Sebastian started to play the organ at the age of eight, which
also led him on to taking piano lessons.
He was still playing the organ when he
started to play the violin at the age of nine and he continued to play these two
instruments until he was around 17. During this time he played in different
ensembles, took lessons in how to play other instruments, gave lessons in how to
play the violin and so on. So until the age of 17 one could say that he followed
the path of a classical musician. The change came the same year when Sebastian
and 4 friends formed a pop band called DIM, where Sebastian played the violin
using effects to create sounds, which resemble the electronic sounds that he
makes today. They made a couple of demos but a difference in ambition to take
the music to a new level led to a
split up after three years.
Marcus was never into playing
instruments but he was very into listening to music and unlike Sebastian he has
been
into electronic music since his very first record.
It was synth such as
Kraftwerk and Human League which he stuck
with til the beginning of the 90´s as
the whole thing was turned upside down when he went to his first techno party.
