For the first SoundCloud Session of the new season, we got These United States to stop by our roof terrace in the SoundCloud Berlin HQ. It was one of the first nice days of the year, and we made a good deal: we show those guys some legendary Berlin summer weather, and they show us some great tunes. Give it a listen!

For the final SoundCloud Session, we are thrilled to present Missouri native, Ian Fisher. He has made a name for himself in Austria, dazzling crowds in Vienna, and has since made the move to Berlin, and we are happy he did. This guy packs an unbelievable vocal punch!

He and Simon decided to christen the SoundCloud Men’s Room with a musical performance, so do not be taken aback by the urinal in the background. Thanks for listening :)

Australia native Mijo Biscan braved the late-November chill on our rooftop and gave us an absolutely wonderful Session before heading back home for the summer down under. Mijo is host to one of the most pure and powerful voices around. His songs are expressions of himself, genuine and open, and we hope that you will enjoy them as much as we do.

Brooklyn-based Beach Fossils stopped in at SoundCloud between their Hamburg and Berlin gigs to play a quick session for a small group of people from the team. The November weather kept everyone inside, but the couch did the trick just fine. Enjoy the tracks and be sure to head keep an eye on Captured Tracks and TheArtOf for more from the guys!

Circa Survive were passing by on their European tour recently so we invited them along to record our sixth SoundCloud session. As autumn is upon us a change of scenery was in order…

For this change we decided to also collaborate with an English director, Greg Taylor, who uses SoundCloud as the basis for sending back and forth the audio within music-related film projects -

‘It’s a great platform for a band to send me a track we are working on and to use the timed comments to initially plan out with a band what we are looking to shoot’

- Looking for a video collaborator, drop him a track.

Another bonus comes as Circa Survive ask their fans for any questions they have via their website. You can hear all these tracks and see if they answered your question below.

Ólöf Arnalds is an Icelandic singer/songwriter and indie musician. We were lucky enough to catch Ólöf and Davið Þór Jónsson on their tour for one of the last summer days on our roof terrace, and they seemed genuinely happy to spend part of their precious day off playing in the sun. Ólöf’s second album, Innundir skinni, was just released in September, and we’re happy to showcase live versions of some of the tracks here.

Myrra Rós joined us in Berlin for the third session, and what a treat it was. The back stairwell of our old building provided the perfect setting for the Icelandic artist to showcase a few of her many wonderful tracks, more of which can be located and downloaded for free on her SoundCloud profile.

For the second session, we introduce to you Ian Hooper, originally from Seattle and currently living in Berlin, and his friends Andrew Saunderson (U.S.) and Claudio Donzelli (IT). Due to wind and rain on the roof, they played a little concert on the steps between floors for those still at work. This was the first time the three had performed together and they summed up the evening nicely in their own words as, “real folkin’ fun.” Head to his profile on SoundCloud to download these tracks, plus many more!
