Music2Deal: Many artists believe that streaming is everything these days. Why is radio still so important for promotion? Maurits Dofferhoff: Streaming is incredibly powerful, but radio remains a crucial factor in music promotion. It provides credibility, reaches a broad audience, and exposes tracks in places where streaming alone might not reach. We’ve seen that radio airplay directly impacts streaming numbers and helps tracks go viral. Many big hits still start on radio before they explode .....

Richard Roger: I did think there might be the opportunity there to do both of those. Please both sets of fans. Kamrad: I think if you make an album of like 12 singles it gets boring. You need two great ones and maybe 10 okay ones and I think there's nothing worse than just an okay single. You need a really great pop song or an indie song. Do you know we do a blues song live? It has a long guitar solo. This is really unexpected for people, it has a long guitar solo and people that hear my songs on the radio would not expect that. It's a really cool moment in the set.

RR: actually from Music2deal I worked with a band from Munster in the north of Germany. Well, Emsdetten actually. K: I’ve not actually been there but I’ve heard about it on the radio.
