What defines the <a href="spotify:artist:5nkYRuiIHg2xXHFC8bfosJ" data-name="ItaloBrothers">ItaloBrothers</a> music? Depending on who you’re asking, responses will vary considerably. Obviously their global success with <a href="spotify:track:4VTRlB4KVaNfm7ZbMOKLNT" data-name="Stamp on the Ground - Radio Edit">Stamp on the Ground - Radio Edit</a> in 2009 is still ringing in the ears of club-goers as a “Made in Germany” mega dance hit. But observant contemporaries have long been aware that the follow-up hits of the three creative masterminds from northern Germany became too powerful to be pinned down by a mere dance/club/hands-up genre definition. How else could you explain the <a href="spotify:artist:5nkYRuiIHg2xXHFC8bfosJ" data-name="ItaloBrothers">ItaloBrothers</a> playing gigs on both sides of the pond, from Chicago to Olso, for up to 60,000 ecstatic people who wouldn’t have otherwise found their way into a club? Their success story continued in 2013 with <a href="spotify:track:3jxj5SQCjfIqY494LZYUNs" data-name="This Is Nightlife - Video Edit">This Is Nightlife - Video Edit</a> In 2015 producer Hanno Lohse, a.k.a. <a href="spotify:artist:5a7NCcDaPNZ8KBdYfdm6v3" data-name="Cody Island">Cody Island</a>, joined the team and immediately made contributions to the song “Springfield,” a track created in collaboration with DJ and producer <a href="spotify:artist:46mGxneffUCmDhMU1m6zYu" data-name="Tungevaag">Tungevaag</a>. The followup, <a href="spotify:track:0V9cosR5jWa4fr2koARmhD" data-name="Summer Air">Summer Air</a> was heavily inspired by tropical house and future bass. The piece impressively underlined the orientation towards a dance-based song format, which clearly pointed more towards pop than club music. The success of the re-release of that single in 2017 rewarded their ceaseless drive for grand slams: Top 5 in Scandinavia, Top 10 in the German-speaking countries, earned multiple platinum honors in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, went gold in Germany, and was played 150 million times on Spotify.
