2009 For various reasons I am currently taking a break concerning my own musical projects. Thanks to everyone who supported sandboy and hinterland records up to this point. Be sure that sometime I’ll be back with new sounds. Take care Tobias             20-10-2007 Sandboy has just finished a remix for Taino Leon (www.tainoleon.com). It will appear on a EP that will be released on Yoruba Records. (www.yorubarecords.com)           24-08-2007 Please check out our new topic "get mp3" – a list of online distributors offering hinterland records productions for download.           24-05-2007 Hinterland is lucky to announce the first offering by sandboy and nanar. The "night song" ep includes the original version, two remixes created by Osunlade and a remix by J.J Webster, a very special package covering a wide range of heartfelt and well-crafted music. Release date: 27.06.2007 "All top quality stuff, the Osunlade Dub is absolutely amazing, a real killer! Pure deepness and totally hypnotic ..."   Jamie Odell/Jimpster/ Freerange Records "Sandboy and Nanar’s "night song" is just wonderful, check the J.J Webster Remix for pure deepness. 10/10"   Paul Gamblin/Heavy Mannas, Black&Blue "A beautiful ep, another gorgeous slice of music, love it, can’t wait to hear the album."   Alan Brown/Soulseduction "Serious quality."   DJ Mag           18-11-2006 Christoph Flueler from Zurich/Switzerland got up at the crack of dawn to drive to Zwieselried for his recordings of trombone, trumpet and flugelhorn at the hinterland studio. He added more wonderful brass sections on "night song" and enriched the playback of another song we are currently working on with his elegant brass lines.             26-10-2006 Again we’re in high spirits at hinterland as we just picked up great news from our mail account: Osunlade will delight us with his take on "night song"! It will be part of the first 12" of sandboy and nanar in the beginning of 2007.             13-10-2006 We are blessed as J.J Webster, one of the three founders of Break Reform and Abstract Blue Recordings has offered us to remix "night song". We are anxious to hear his version of this tune!           22-08-2006 We count ourselves lucky that Nanar made her way from London to Zwieselried to lay down her enchanting vocals for "night song", certainly a grand entrée for this promising collaboration.           15-02-2006 The hinterland label is proud to announce that the forthcoming sandboy album will be featuring Nanar Vorperian as singer and songwriter. Tobias has already had the enjoyment of working with her on two songs for sandboy’s debut album "wanderlust". The heart-warming yet delicate texture of her voice can be witnessed on "written in the leaves" and "pomegranate", but most of her deeply authentic songwiriting and singing has become known in conjunction with the London based formation Break Reform. Sandboy is currrently preparing the playbacks, for which drummer Thomas Simmerl and bass player Sebastian Zimmermann have already put down a number of enticing tracks. Everybody here in Zwieselried is looking forward to once again welcoming Nanar in the hinterland studio and we are all feeling excited about the creative process of "sandboy and nanar"! We’ll keep you posted, sure enough…             31-12-2005 Hinterland would like to take this opportunity to wish all friends a happy new year and to thank you for your continuous support. 2006 will start with some great news, we’ll keep you in the loop!             01-12-2005 Meanwhile all titles and exclusive instrumental versions from the hinterland catalogue can be downloaded at: iTUNES (Apple Music Store), AOL, MUSICLOAD, SONY CONNECT, FINETUNES, CLICKGROOVE, KARMA, DANCETRACKS. More soon to come…           20-08-2005 Out soon on hinterland: sandboy’s second album "echoes". A double angle sound journey in the poetic world of sandboy by the artist himself but also from the perspective of some like-minded funkateers such as butti49, volcov, gerd, break reform, smiles ahead and leroy schlimm. Look out for a sound journey of its own kind to be released on the 4th of october.             17-08-2005 We are greatful and excited that our true japanese partner "village again" will take care of sandboy’s new CD "echoes" like he already did take care of the debut album "wanderlust". The japanese edition will include an exclusive remix of "written in the leaves" by sandboy himself.             15-08-2005 Meanwhile all titles and exclusive instrumental versions from the hinterland catalogue can be downloaded at: iTUNES (Apple Music Store), AOL, MUSICLOAD, SONY CONNECT, FINETUNES Soon to come: CLICKGROOVE, KARMA, BEATPORT, DANCETRACKS and others…             26-07-2005 After an intense period of creating and realising, metronomic finally comes up with an impressive profile section of their family artists.

It is an enlightning introduction to the forthcoming "echoes" concept album in september, let the music do the talking!           28-04-2005 We had a great time with lovely Clara Hill who left Berlin to record two songs at the hinterland studio: "endlessly" which will be part of her second album and "common cause" which will soon hit the streets on another sandboy 12" featuring Clara Hill and Randolph Matthews.           05-04-2005 Be on the look for the sandboy "wanderlust remix EP vol.2" with mixes from Smiles Ahead, Season and Leroy Schlimm.

Therefore we are very glad to announce that hinterland has just signed a worldwide distribution deal with Intergroove.           12.02.2005 We had the great pleasure to spend some time with Randolph Matthews doing the vocal recordings of "call out", a new sandboy song which will be part of the forthcoming album "echoes".             19.01.2005 In the pipeline for hinterland records is another sandboy 12" called "wanderlust remix EP vol.2".

In consequence of this bitter experience we will take care of our export business ourselves. G/A/S will be distributed by SiB distribution (www.sib-distribution.com) We are very much looking forward to our new collaboration!           20.10.2004 sandboy DJ-set/visuals by SUB- 09.12.2004, Moscow / Russia @ Taboo "Jazz Futuro"                             15.10.2004 In the pipeline for hinterland records are two remixes of Leroy Schlimm who has just proofed his talent with his first release "The Play EP". His version of "lua nua" toughens the groove up for the dance floor adding a strong acoustic bass and tasty guitar licks. It will hit the streets on a 12" early 2005. Leroy’s remarkable reinterpretation of "les éclairs" is a finely crafted tune where the vocals of Marianne Kirch are tastefully surrounded by beautifully arranged harmonies played by the man himself on the guitar. It will be part of the upcoming sandboy album in spring 2005.           13.10.2004 Sebastian Zimmerman stayed another two prolific days in sandboy’s studio finally revealing the miracle of his red bass... You’ll be able to judge yourself on the new sandboy song featuring Clara Hill.                             28.09.2004 Sandboy is looking forward to collaborate with Clara Hill (Sonar Kollektiv) on new songs for her next album as well as on a new sandboy song which will appear on the forthcoming album in spring 2005.             01.09.2004 SUB- from Brussels will support all future sandboy DJ-sets with visuals based on shootings around the home of sandboy. Thomas Lommee is the man behind the camera and turning the nobs. He has spent a weekend in Zwieselried collecting pictures which he then transferred into fascinating abstract patterns matching perfectly sandboy’s music.             06-08-2004 "Smiles Ahead", a recently formed project settled by Belgian duo Philarmonix and David Alexander from the Metronomic Family have just delivered a stunning remix of Sandboy’s "lua nua". Energetic yet light as a feather with tastefully crafted vocal patterns and fresh beat programming, this piece of music is created to make people smile...             30-06-2004 Sandboy is currently remixing "so real", a song of Gerd’s forthcoming album featuring Vanessa Freeman.             10-06-2004 A METRONOMIC SESSION @ GREAT!, LUXEMBURG, 22 June 2004 Fresh new highlight of the gastronomic world in Luxemburg, GREAT! puts the standards high with their bio and vegetarian unique universe spiced with high artistic concerns...

We are particularly excited that Randolph Matthews (low budget soul/Abstract Blue) agreed to collaborate on two of the songs.             19-02-2004 In keeping with its title, sandboy’s album "wanderlust" has come out in Japan. Our partner Village Again is making lots of noise. Check out the listening stations he has put up at HMV Tokyo - if you can...             06-01-2004 We are glad to announce that Gerd (4lux) will furnish us with a new perspective on "bsb", the capital of Brasil.             10-12-2003 Dirk Rumpff (season/OFFtrack) is just about to remix "pomegranate" (featuring Nanar from Break Reform), his favourite track of the forthcoming sandboy album. Without him the original song wouldn’t exist anyway for he played Break Reform to Tobias when he was looking for new vocalists.             08-12-2003 The release date for sandboy’s "wanderlust" is set and coming fast.
