Meet Frau Holle
Frau Holle is Holger Mangler. A German musician.
He has made music since his early childhood, starting with an interest in drumming, then learning organs and synthesizers until the end of the 80s.
Holger's first tracks were inspired by traditional electronic artists like Jean Michel Jarre and Kraftwerk. In the early 90s he created his first project, as Holle Mangler, and signed his first contract, releasing two albums with the Ardema label.
In the mid 90s, I won second place as Best Newcomer, and Top 20 positions for best album and best song with Germany's most famous electronic music radio programme: Schwingungen. Sampler productions with Arcade and ZYX Music with Nightwish, Mike Oldfield, Alan Parsons, David Knopfler etc. ensued.
My works became more and more influenced by rock, even metal, and grew into a modern progressive rock project. - Frau Holle
While my main project; Holle Mangler became more rock influences, parallel to this development, I created Frau Holle as a side-project in order to produce pure electronic music which is inspired indirectly by artists like Laurent Véronnez (Airwave, Antidote etc.), Gabriel & Dresden, Fluke etc.
I decided to start this project, in order to continue the electronic inspiration like Trance, House, Downbeat etc. By 2013 there were 17 new tracks ready. With the best of 10 making up: Ascending Souls released by Toucan Music in 2017. - Frau Holle
Ascending Souls - Released 2017
The first Frau Holle release featured remixes of tracks from the 5th album of my main project: Escape Over Needles
Escape Over Needles - Released 2010
After ten years of silence, the fifth production is quite different from all previous releases. The arrangement of the studio opened up new possibilities. Now the composition sounds more sophisticated and although the sound is very rocking, its electronic roots are never lost. - Frau Holle
The remaining seven tracks were released in 2013 in Different Ways.
Different Ways - Released 2013
This album comes across the different ways of Electronic music.
