So this album is about these lonely times during the crisis, it's about hope and the desire to "fly away" to visit all the other beautiful locations of our world.

Press reviews
"... dies ist ein Musiker bei dem ich denke, dass er erheblich mehr Beachtung und Exposition verdient ..."
(sinngleich übersetzt aus dem Schweizerdeutsch)
DJ Leo // Kanal K (Swiss Radio)
"... he very first song I wanna recommend is 'Aus Silber wird Gold'. This is an awesome song released by Fantomacs and Ralf Gremmer. The music starts with a exclusive bass and beat. After that a soft drum plays comes which is really great to hear. The whole music consists of beautiful and soothing voice. Thus i recommend you to hear the song with Headphones on. "

"... Fantomacs and Heidi Marlen Grau , this release ('Riding the Waves') is also a noteable one from "This is Fantomacs" playlist. This is a really unique release from them. A peaceful voice with peaceful instrumental sounds. It felt like the instruments wanted to express their feelings to the world. "
Nupom, Blogger
"... As we know Fantomacs is really hardworking and dedicated artist,that's why we all love him. We really need to boost his work for new album as a gesture of well wish. For that let's follow him on Spotify. "
Nupom, Blogger
"... Today am here to talk about his new release. I am astonished with how his cover of Elderbrook's "I'll Find My Way To You" turned out. As major fans of the original, this is an interesting take, but one that fully does it justice and imparts the artist's own signature sound into the mix. Of course, I am recommending everyone check it out as soon as possible.
The song starts and continues with very interesting beats and piano works. Most
exciting part is the vocal of a soothing singer. It really creates a vibe."

"... this is a musician who I think deserves considerably more attention and exposure ..."
(semantically translated from Swiss German)

"Fantomacs is the master of varieties. Blend of every genre is found on his music. An artist with such a talent is really astonishing but its not only talent, it's his hard work, patience and dedication to the industry. To you guys there is nothing new to tell about him. As very usual we are back with Fantomacs new album "Miss YOU!" campaign.
Every music on the album is a masterpiece. The main attraction of the album is "Miss You!" . The tangy melody over the whole music is something you really want to hear. Something happened to me while hearing this song was , I was singing one of my favourite song listening to the beats together and it felt really amazing."

On 23. August 2020, my single 'LongLake Dub' was presented as a newcomer on the MusicBlog platform.
"Fantomacs is a keyboard player and producer from Berlin, who currently works in Switzerland. He started his musical education at the age of eight, first of course in the classical field. Later, jazz and blues were added and laid the foundation for his current sound.

Recently he released his new single 'LongLake Dub'. The song he composed during the "Long Lake Festival" in Lugano this year and is based on a groove he created during his live session."
