Martin Königsmann and Marco Völkel have been at home in electronic music for over 20 years and founded the booking and management agency Swinque in 2010.

In 2020 the world stood still for well-known reasons. Königsmann and Völkel suddenly had a lot of time. They holed up in the office and talked on the Redfield Podcast about how they had been talking for weeks.
