Rock Proper Hits Germany

Yesterday I did an interview for Deutschlandradio Wissen, a nationwide German public radio station. I am told that Deutschlandradio Wissen is the German equivalent of the BBC Network/NPR.

Here’s a 6 minute sample of what turned into about an hour an a half interview:

Deutschlandradio Wissen Radio Interview

 

The reporters who contacted me, Christian Grasse and Jochen Dreier, are both passionate radio-journalists from Germany. They are also open source and creative commons fanatics. Two years ago Christian and Jochen launched their own netlabel, www.aaahh-records.net.

Now they want to bring together their two passions and introduce the creative commons movement to a wide range of people. They are working to gain exposure for the rapidly developing internet music scene that creative commons has spawned.

Here is a quote from Christian and Jochen, “Because for us, creative commons and open source means a culture of sharing and that there is always a further development of a creative product and we like to see this in (radio) journalism too.”

Last week they featured a very interesting Chinese Netlabelist:
