      <p> If you are into electronic music and living in Vienna but haven&rsquo;t heard about the <strong>Sch&ouml;nbrunner Techno</strong>-crew you&rsquo;ll probably have the pleasure of spending eternity in Satan&rsquo;s filthy hot pit for missing out.  This is because they are a collective consisting of some of Vienna&rsquo;s finest DJ&rsquo;s and producers of techno, house and all its sub-genres. <a href="http://www.electronicbeats.net/music/news/schoenbrunner-perlen-001-is-a-great-way-to-start" target="_blank">They also set up their own label and released a personal favourite of mine</a> and <a href="http://www.electronicbeats.net/music/features/2011-in-austrian-music-and-culture" target="_blank">others</a> in 2011: &lsquo;Japanese Rose&rsquo;.</p><p>The person responsible for this track is Ken Hayakawa, but he didn&rsquo;t do it alone! Herb Piper co-produced the track which is why we decided to roll the 10 x 4 questionnaire across the quiet guy in the background. We recommend you also check out <em>Sch&ouml;nbrunner Perlen 001 Remixed</em> which was released in December and look forward to <em>SP002</em>, which will be released on January 28th. </p><p><strong>Favourite part of the day to create?</strong><br>
      I love sitting the whole night in front of my equipment and working on tracks and new ideas. Then I completely fall into music and nothing else exists. I even forget to eat and drink when I&acute;m working on new stuff.</p><p><strong>First musical love?</strong><br>
      As a child I really enjoyed listening to the audio drama cassettes about Mozart, Strauss and Schubert. I think this was my first musical love.</p><p><strong>Last musical love?</strong><br>
      Radiohead</p><p><strong>One thing you cannot live with out?</strong><br>
      My bathtub.</p><p><strong>One thing you would live without if you could?</strong><br>
      Computer.</p><p><strong>Favourite instrument?</strong><br>
      Definitely the piano.</p><p><strong>Eureka moment?</strong><br>
      Sometimes.</p><p><strong>Love of your life?</strong><br>
      Music so far. </p><p><strong>Secret tip?</strong><br>
      The new Viennese based label &ldquo;sch&ouml;nbrunner perlen&rdquo;.</p><p><strong>A place to create?</strong><br>
      One day I want to make a track in one of these typical Viennese coffeehouses. Catch the atmosphere and put it into the music. But till then I&acute;m producing music at home or in Ken Hayakawa&rsquo;s studio.</p>
