Round two of our Berlin based acts to watch for this years Torstra\u00dfen Festival is \ucf00\uc774\ud504 (Cape)<\/a>. Maybe I’m an idiot (I most definitely am) – but doesn’t their name just make you want to jump a plane to some bustling Asian flavoured city, and never come back? I’m voting on Seoul. But I digress – here a few things you need to know about the duo based in Berlin.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Old mates are the would-be result if Grimes<\/a> and K-Pop (yes the entire genre) were to procreate.<\/p>\n

\u2013 They openly follow two rules in music:<\/p>\n

1#<\/strong> Form Follows Function – making music like building houses: take a component away, the building collapses.<\/p>\n

2#<\/strong> Learn From the Old Masters – influences range from italo disco, eurodance and k-pop to lo-fi and ambient. God bless the Internet, and everything you can find there.<\/p>\n

\u2013 They don’t have a Facebook (or at the very least, I cannot locate it).<\/p>\n

When these delicious creatures aren’t trolling the www. for new sounds they are probably learning the dance moves to Hyuna’s Bubble Pop<\/em><\/a>, chewing chewing gum or simply drinking instant coffee, as there is something about the taste of not real (but real) coffee that reminds them of their youth, probably.<\/p>\n

This year \ucf00\uc774\ud504 (Cape) are playing Torstra\u00dfen Festival \u2013 so I threw a handful of questions at them. For those that don\u2019t know me, let\u2019s be perfectly clear \u2013 I don\u2019t ask hard hitting questions about music.. This is mainly because (technically) I don\u2019t know the first thing about it. I like what I like \u2013 and then wonder\u2026. \u201cWhat do you reckon that artist still hopes we are doing in 2040? I hope Twerking is still a thing, and I can do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

So without any further carry on \u2013 let\u2019s meet \ucf00\uc774\ud504 (Cape), the second of 6 in what we lovingly call \u201cLucy vs. Torstra\u00dfe<\/a>.\u201d Hit it.<\/p>\n

L: You are an area of Berlin, what are you – why? – I’m everywhere outside the ring-bahn – mostly because I’m trashy, and people secretly like it.<\/strong>
\nC: definitely the one with the most exciting geometrical shape.<\/p>\n

L: You can only drink water and one other drink for the REST OF YOUR LIFE? What’s the other drink?<\/strong>
\nC: Orxata<\/a>, the elixir of the gods.<\/p>\n

L: If you were a traditional German meal – what are you, why?<\/strong>
\nC: yuk German food … yuk Germany!<\/p>\n

L: If you could be any moment in history, what would you be – and why?<\/strong>
\nC: when Ryan Gosling looked into our eyes and we understood everything (but this is a vision from the future)<\/p>\n

L: You are from Berlin, where do I meet dudes?<\/strong>
\nC: We don’t meet dudes.<\/p>\n

L: If you could bring any item of clothing back with you from the 90’s – what are you representing?<\/strong>
\nC: Will Smith’s shorts! so fresh, so princely, and so Bel-Air<\/p>\n

L: If you could meet any Berliner ever to have graced this fair city, who would you meet\/ why?<\/strong>
\nC: Def. Max and Stine of Easter<\/a> – they know where to get good food!<\/p>\n

L: It’s the year 2040 – what do you hope we are still doing? I hope that Twerking is still a thing, and I can do it.<\/strong>
\nC: This pizza tastes funny<\/p>\n

L: It’s a Sunday in Berlin, what are you doing? – because you definitely aren’t doing the food shopping.<\/strong>
\nC: Feeling hungry because we didn’t do the food shopping on Saturday<\/p>\n

L: Tell us something you deem relevant.<\/strong>
\nC: <3 http:\/\/actuallygrimes.tumblr.com\/post\/48744769552\/i-dont-want-to-have-to-compromise-my-morals-in-order<\/wbr><\/wbr><\/wbr><\/a><\/p>\n
