Mat Smith, the man behind pop music articles and sleeve notes and an interesting music project called THE ENGINEER
Ever since I got into online music journalism, I’ve always been interested in the background characters around my favourite musicians’ releases that add something important to the product we, the fans end up with. With this in mind, over the years I have interviewed personalities such as Anton Corbijn (photographer of DEPECHE MODE and many other music greats), Gareth Jones and Mark Saunders (producers and mix masters of DEPECHE MODE and ERASURE amongst others).

Sven Friedrich (vocals) from Solar Fake
On May 24, 2024, the time has finally come! The new SOLAR FAKE album, ‘Don’t push this button!’ will be out. This album will not be released by Out Of Line like the three previous albums of the band, but by Sven Friedrich’s label Pointless Music. We’ve known Sven well for a long time and we managed to bring SOLAR FAKE to Kyiv, Ukraine twice with solo concerts and we sincerely believe that when the war is over it will be possible again! It’s always an honour for us when we have a chance to interview him, especially when there is such a great occasion as the release of a new album.
