Cafe-Disco
Once you find your passion, giving up is never an option. Paul Alqas and Patrick Ditzel discovered their passion in music, and in pursuit of their passion, a musical band was formed – Cafe Disko. Their music is now creating quite a buzz in the industry.
Popularly known for their single Santeria featuring DIVMOND, the duo is redefining the sound of music. By fusing electro-pop with hip-hop and disco, they are creating a unique sound. They have opened for A-list DJs and rappers, among them Chance The Rapper and T-pain. Several of their songs have also had more than one million plays.
According to Cafe Disko, while it all started as a couple of sessions, the duo’s chemistry and unique yet similar vision continue to draw them together. Music has made them close friends. You can’t force a good duo; their compatibility and unique sound have enabled them to form a dynamic team.
Drawing their inspiration from legendary artists such as Louis the Child, Autograf, and Skrillex, they aim to create everyday music that will never go out of style. In their words, their goal is to create music that their audience will always think about anytime they feel like listening to good music. True to that, all their previous singles are fan favorites. They are currently working on a project that will see them release new music each month for the rest of the year.
Speaking of the challenges they have faced, the duo notes live performances can be tricky; the goal of every artist is to move the crowd and take the live show to the next level. However, attaining that can be a bit challenging. To engage their fans when they headline shows, Cafe Disko brings out performers who match their energy. Additionally, extreme competition in the music industry was a major challenge as they tried to establish their place.
Never be afraid of being told no, says the duo. When you are just starting, very few people will believe in your dream; some will even try to show you why you will not make it. However, that should not give you a reason to give up. Following your passion means being ready to give it your all. While the journey will not be smooth, the results will be rewarding. The music duo urges musicians to remain true to their passion and never be discourage.
Asked about future aspirations, Cafe Disko says as they continue to provide their fan base with good music. Their dream is to sign with a label and get a full-time manager. Working as an independent artist, so much needs to be taken care of, which leaves you feeling exhausted. By signing with a label, they will get more time to focus on creating music without dealing with the many outside factors. Cafe Disko is also looking to release more collaborations with various artists.
With over ten million streams across the various music streaming platforms. And online publications from major sites, Cafe Disko is a household name in the industry. Their new monthly releases are something to excite every music enthusiast.
