Leon Vynehall & Music for Autobahns

Midnight on Rainbow Road from Leon Vynehall is one of our Lieblingslieder this week!

The song is a mellow downtempo production released last month (Sept. 2015) on a compilation called “Music for Autobahns 2” on Rush Hour Music.

Rush Hour Music

It's a collection of tracks gathered under the motto “ambient race car music” put together by Gerd Janson, the man behind the South German label Running Back Records.

The compilation was "truly inspired by many trips on the Autobahn between Frankfurt and Heidelberg," says Janson. Many big names of techno and house music, such as Joy Orbison, Bicep, Fort Romeau, and many more, left the dancefloor drums aside and went ambient for the compilation.

And so did Leon Vynehall, adding our Lieblingslied to his regular house, techno, disco, and funk repertoire.

“I like chords, I like atmosphere and some sort of emotion in music. Rather than it being just about the dance floor, I like it being a bit of both. I like to take a sound and change it, manipulating things so they sound a bit dusty. With drums, I like to make them sound more human.”

If you're intrigued by Leon Vynehall's description of his own music, make sure to check out his album “Music for the uninvited” that came out last year, or his killer dancefloor aimed “Brother/Sister EP” from 2013.
