Inger Hansen

In all of his musical endeavors, there lies, somewhere within, the seeds of mighty—and moving—collaboration. He has teamed up with DJ Roger Shah and gone viral with “Don’t Wake Me Up” clocking in 16 million views to date. ‘Infinity’ began as a casual affair. Producer Anthony Molina (Mercury Rev) and Hansen holed up in an attic studio in the mountains of Kingston, NY to conjure Hansen’s most vibe-y songs yet. “I started with beats and synths as opposed to an acoustic guitar, and the sound got really interesting right off.”
The album reconciles his craving for authentic and lyrical, unadulterated rock songs with his newfound itch for electronic music.
“You can combine the motion and the story,” said Hansen definitively. “And that is the line that I’m teetering on.” DJ friends—Germany’s Roger Shah, Pedro Del Mar, Scandinavia’s Sunstrøm, Russia’s Nuera and San Francisco’s Gydyr among them—jumped in to add their voice to the mix’ in the form of 6 remixes for the B side, ‘Infinity by Night.’
In Mexico City women approach him by name. So why Berlin? “It’s energy gives me a sense of purpose, and I like anyplace that keeps me on my toes,” he says. “Berlin is like Williamsburg, but 15 years back in time. So I guess you could say it moves me.”
