Research into chosen artist

          As a group we decided to create a music video that offered a specific purpose therefore, we
          thought  Sonnetanz was the perfect song as it is very popular with the public as it has reached                       the top 10 in 6 different countries. Sonnentanz is Klangkarussells biggest song to date. 
          Klangkarussell are relatively new artists and have already become largely well known within the
          dance/house genre and therefore attracted us to choose their music because as a group we all                       like that sort of music  therefore, will lead us to understand and incorporate the conventions of                       the genre when creating our music video. 

Klangkarussell are dance and electronic producers from Austria who were formed in 2011. The two  members are Tobias Rieser and Adrian Held. Their biggest hit has been "Sonnentanz" which has reached the Top 10 in 6 countries. Tobias Rieser started off as a solo artist under the name Klangkarussell. Adrian Held, produced electronic music under the artist name i herald an anagram of his real name. In 2011, the two artists joined the duo "heroes sound" together and produced their first songs together. To avoid confusion with producers they left "heroes sound" and joined up together and became klangarussell.

      Here is a table of where Sonnentanz appeared in the charts in foreign countries

      Klangkarussell are not just signed to one specific record label they are signed to three which are Vertigo Records, Capitol Records and Universal Music and and after wowing the major label with a private gig, they were signed up to create their debut album, due early next year. It is said that this will reveal the depth of the pair's influences, indirect as they are: the carefully constructed beats that hark back to Adrian's drum'n'bass background in their flawless execution (though not their tempo); the anthemic qualities of the Kalkbrenners (and even Austrian pop icon Falco), and the restless innovation of dance music's lateral thinkers like Jamie xx and Flying Lotus. Klangkarussells hit single "sonnentanz" Sun don't shine was released In June 2013 which peaked to number 3 in Austria, number 3 in Belgium, number 170 in France, number 4 in Germany, number 1 in the Netherlands and number 3 in Switzerland. The song was released in the United Kingdom on August 18, 2013 and features vocals from Will Heard. To date it has accumulated 22 million views and over 10,000 comments. 

      Our research into our chosen artist shows us what music genre they come under and what music they like to sing, as a group we all decided what genre we would like and klangarussell came under that category and we thought from what we have read and heard that we would like to do our video on there hit single Sun Don't Shine.
