Marte and Mikael , a beautiful couple making spicy gypsy-elektro with flavours from many kitchens.
An intense mixture of nordic light, balkan heat and oriental moods.
Stirred, fried, played and produced in their own kitchen, idyllically located in the Danish countryside.
Martes spellbinding vocal, completely familiar with the technique of Balkan traditional singing is combined with nordic sound, accompanied by fierce beats and Mikaels springy saxophone.
Live, they bring along monster bass and highly groovy drums.
Touring Scandinavia, their audience is growing fast, knowing they'll have a party every time !
Listen to some of Megafons adventures and electrodance till you drop !!

Det var en hvilken som helst mørk desemberkveld i Oslo. Den bitende vinterkulda hadde akkurat meldt sin ankomst, og det faste klientellet på Mir, Grünerløkka Lufthavn, satt forhutlet og prøvde å la de hyppige halvliterslurkene gi sjelen et snev av glød.
Det sprakte litt i anlegget, og en eller annen sa noe i mikrofonen. En liten gruppe danske sigøynerspillemænd og -kvinner inntok scenen, anført av en strålende vakker sigøynerprinsesse med kjole og ravnsvart hår. Foran på scenen befant seg også en lys bondemann med saksofon, men uten hår. -Hei, vi er MEGAFON, sa prinsessen og så tok bonden opp hornet og trakk pusten. Rødlyset over scenen lyste i sin mest horete glans, og jeg tror det sivet ut noe magisk røyk fra sprekkene i veggen.
...
Bom bom. Først kom trommene, i synkoperte, jevne slag. Sakte bygget det seg opp et bølgende magisk teppe av små og store lyder, inn og ut, fortere og fortere, nå istemt vrengte, mollstemte dyrelyder lydende ut fra saksofonen. Så smøg sigøynerprinsessen seg ut mellom dyra, gjennom rytmeskrammelet og inn i mikrofonstativet. Mykt og innsmigrende, deretter mer og mer luft, mer og mer liv.
Slakte dyra, drikke vin, varme blodet og synge sammen.
Dervish, dans, kor, folk, dansbart, visuelt.
Bonde
