Name: Jakob Brixvold, DK – Dansk Live

How many times have you been to SPOT, Jakob? Too many to count.

Are you looking forward to any concerts in particular? Well, I’m mostly here for the business part, so in general I just tag along.

Do you have a favorite Danish band? No, sorry. It’s too hard to answer that question.

Name: Sebastian Møller, DK – Volt

Hi Sebastian, is this your first time at SPOT? Yeah, it is.

So, you’re not excatly in the music business. Why are you here? I’m promoting my company Volt. We manufacture portable batteries with which you can recharge your phone at festivals.

How’s business then? It’s going great. Last year at Roskilde Festival, 60.000 pictures were uploaded to Instagram. We like to think that it wouldn’t have been that many without our batteries. Our biggest markets are Germany and the UK.

Name: Hannes Tschürtz, AT – INK Music

Have you been to SPOT before? Yeah, this is my 5th year.

Which concerts are you looking forward to seeing this year? Actually, I tend to avoid bands I know already. I’m really looking for the surprises. But I’m looking forward to watching Chorus Grant, Aarhus Jazz Orchestra and The White Album. I watched Broken Twin earlier and that was absolutely amazing.

Do you have a favorite Danish band? I know so many Danish bands, itøs almost impossible to choose. But I would say Rangleklods, Reptile Youth and When Saints Go Machine, since I’ve worked a lot with those three. But there are so many more.
