The German adds an organic flavour to his sound that allows his tracks to become evocative and even emotional. He will be joined by Detroit's Lee Curtiss. Hailed as the "master of the sensual synth", Curtis's stylings reveal him to be a clever pop-songwriter who is able to mix various styles into his work.
