## PRESS QUOTES (verbatim, attributable)

"creating spaces for heavier bass, faster rhythms, harder sounds, for the music
he loves." — Aachener Zeitung

"Catchy synths and hard kicks make it a nostalgic party hit!"
— Zeitgeist (Universal Records)

"Löwenzahn + Techno = 'Pusteblume'" — Kontor Records

"His last show was one of the greatest shows we've ever had." — Himmerich

## TONE OF VOICE

Write it the way the project reads: short sentences, present tense, concrete
nouns. Confident, never boastful — let the facts carry the weight. Technical
and dry over emotional. The house style leans on hard consonants and full
stops, not exclamation marks.

DO:
- Keep AERO in all caps.
- Lead with the music and the floor, not with numbers.
- Use real credits and real venues; they are more convincing than adjectives.
- Match the language of the outlet (German copy for German press).

DON'T:
- Don't invent releases, chart positions, venues, dates or follower counts.
  If a number is not in this file, leave it out.
- Don't call him an "EDM DJ" or "hardstyle superstar" — he is a Hard Dance /
  Hardstyle / Frenchcore artist.
- Don't use "up-and-coming", "rising star", "needs no introduction" or similar
  filler.
- Don't translate the artist name, track titles or show formats.
- Don't imply he is signed exclusively to a label — he is independent.

## READY-MADE BIOS

Short and long bios in German and English are available as separate files in
this press kit and on https://aero.artshaper.de/brand-assets — use those
