People around the world started to hear about us, and that was so exciting.Ĭaravan Palace’s genre-blurring sound combines the disparate worlds of Gypsy jazz and electronic music. What were some of your early experiences with music-production technology back when you started? This is underlined by their unique combination of instruments on stage.

I think we learned about mostly from magazines and online music forums. We were using Pro Tools and Cubase and all the hardware was so buggy. PCs were cheaper and we were skint, so it was a nightmare sometimes with all the soundcard driver issues. Of course, it was easier with the Mac and now we’re all on the MacBook, but I think PCs are safer nowadays. You certainly have a very distinctive and unique sound that blends very different eras. The sound of Caravan Palace is a blend of vintage and modern electronic music. In the beginning, we were specifically into Gypsy jazz and house, then what people called electro-swing and now I think it’s a larger mix. We can be influenced by blues, soul, rhythm ’n’ blues, bossa nova from the 60s, even exotica for the vintage part of our sound. And for the modern side, it’s hip-hop, future bass, deep house and even disco. We just want to make music with no boundaries. I think it’s the best way to be honest with our audience and fans.
