Bio

The Mainstream’s first two albums 'X' (2006) and 'THE BEAUTY IN THE MUNDANE' (2009) were produced via internet file sharing using social networking platforms to connect artists worldwide.
21 artists from 4 continents and countries like Chile, the USA, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Ireland and South Africa participated in the album 'The Beauty In The Mundane'.
The aim here was to breakdown social barriers, to unite artistic minds worldwide and all of these valued connections now exist in The Sidestream artists that virtually and physically worked with the The Mainstream on their first two projects and continue to create projects independently worldwide. The Sidestream includes amonst others artists such as Lexxx Luthor (USA), HollyDish (Canada), Mason Black (South Africa), Keurspi (France), Shane (USA) & Manifest-One (USA) and sometimes there are opportunities for these artists to join The Mainstream on tour and certainly feature on their tracks.
 
The Mainstream’s new album 'HAVE NO FEAR' was recorded at Lowswing Studio (Berlin) and the band's own studio.
The incredible minds involved include the band’s favorite producer, Guy Sternberg (Maximillian Hecker, Keane, 2raumwohnung , jazz-echo-gewinner 2009) able to develop an amazing acoustic sound.
The MainStream spent 2 intense weeks in Rivara castle (Italy) rehearsing for the live recordings on the new album that took place shortly after in Berlin and Hamburg.
The album was mastered by internationally famous Dj,producer & live-act Robert Babicz using a Studer tape machine to get that vintage touch that most records recorded digitally are lacking.

The artists involved in The MainStream realize that with the power they have to be heard, a certain amount of social responsibility comes hand-in-hand.
The Mainstream’s music explores love and life but there is a socially conscious effort being made as well in their music. World issues are discussed in the “Theme for Burma” on the ‘Beauty in the Mundane’ album and songs like 'Africa ' and 'Taylor Rain' on their new album. In addition, ‘Silenzio senza pair’, a remake of the song 'Un poco de Amor' (off the ‘Beauty in the Mundane’ album) was chosen as the title song for the 'anti-violence against women' campaign on the 25th of November 2010 in Italy.
 
After almost 7 years of hard work, 7 Italian tours (2009-2011), a tour in Chile (2009), China (2010), more than 70 gigs over the past 2 years in Germany and Switzerland and two album releases The Mainstream flows strong and steady while the world awaits what’s next.
We are all part of the main stream, the stream of life and consciousness that is now.
