Traxx24, thank you very much for having me!
Hi everyone, my name is Roland aka Polafunk!
I am a DJ, Producer and Electronic music enthusiast. I found my passion for music at an early age by discovering my Dad's record collection. The exposure to so many incredible genres and artists got me instantly hooked. During adolescence I learned spinning records and played several venues around my hometown. Seeing the strong crowd reaction when certain songs were played was an amazing experience and it was then, when I decided that it was time to start my own project. I am really proud of what I’ve achieved so far and I am currently working on my signature sound. Therefore, it is hard to put a label on my music just yet. I would describe it as a mix of all the musical influences I've been exposed to. If you’re interested in checking me out, you can find my social media contacts down below. I hope I could give you a brief inside into what makes me tick, and I am looking forward to welcome you guys on my socials in the near future.
Cheers Roland
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
That is an excellent question and in respect to electronic music I got heavily influenced by Dj’s and Artists like
Fatboy Slim, Armand van Helden, Jestofunk, Freemasons, Tim Deluxe and Olav Basoski to name a view.
I wouldn’t say that my taste has changed. I would rather say it has evolved. When you listen to a lot of music over a couple of years, you almost automatically find someone or something that inspires you. In my case this currently is Andhim, Purple Disco Machine, Super Flu, Mk and Claptone.
What´s new right now?
Perfect timing I would say. I just finished a remix for DJ Suketu.
It was done for a point blank remix contest and I am pretty excited about the outcome.
