What started with a little side note quickly became one of the hottest issues in all kind
of different media: The ducks had disappeared. First, scientists proposed several rather
exotic hypotheses, but finally geneticists came up with a useful explanation: actually, the
DNA of this animal provided a useful hint. It looked as if a collective order had been
ready to be called off from their genetic material. And now, after thousands of years,
something must have triggered it, maybe an electric impulse or an acoustic signal.
Sebastian Riedl aka Basteroid started his music career in 2000 when he founded the
label Areal Records together with his two friends Michael Schwanen (Metope) and
Matthias Klein (Konfekt/Welt Zwei) – a good basis for all his future releases.
Apart from his work released on Sender Records and a number of remixes, he is also
performing live all around the world spreading his unmistakeable sounds among the
people. The distinctive Areal artwork is also all Sebastian’s work.
On his first album ‘Upset Ducks’ he allows free play to all the different music styles that
he is influenced by. The result is a happy mix of trance, funk, rock, gongs and bangs. An
amazing combination of styles cleverly brought together in the spirit of rave! Half of this
record was created in Schaerding /Upper Austria, where the whole duck population
regularly gets upset (that’s where the title comes from), by one track in particular, but
also by the rest of this record. Poor duckies
