1.Growing Up

Myon: I was unnaturally attracted to music even when I was a little kid.

I collected tapes, CDs, whatever I could put my hands on. All that music influences me to this day.

Shane 54: My dad is a sound engineer, so I spent half my childhood in studios. I was five when I decided I wanted to be a musician. No-one believed it.

2.Inspirations

S: Depeche Mode was the first band I truly got into as a kid. I wasn’t even ten when I first heard their music.

M: Incognito’s incredible grooves took me by storm. I remember I wanted to be like them.

3.Your Crew

M: MS54 is our daily job, we don’t need to do anything else. It’s a very comfortable situation.

S: I never had a job or boss in my life. I was still in high school when my first album was released, and kept on making music ever since.

4.The Music You Make And Play

S: We always thought of ourselves as a pop band that has great credibility in clubland. We have more than one source of inspiration, and due to this, our sound differs a bit.

M: We first and foremost write songs, there’s no particular genre we belong to. We tend to keep interesting stuff from everywhere and make them into something that’s neither house nor trance, but has everything that we think is good in them. We do love all kinds of good music.

5.Music, Right Here, Right Now

M: There’s never been a better time to be an electronic music artist. EDM is at all-time high, people are hungry for dance music, and we are happy to be in a position to serve them just that.

S: We come from Hungary, where artists usually don’t make it to the international scene. Oddly enough, we can’t say they particularly like our music over there. We haven’t played in our home country for almost two years.
