1) Introduce yourself?
I´m Jennifer Touch, a German musician and DJ.
2) What have been your highlights from the last 12 months?
I recently started my collaboration with Fat Cat Records UK, which means that I will release my next albums there.

I love England and its music history, so it’s just super cool to have my label there. I will continue to work with my friends from Riotvan and Dred Records, it’s a good label mix.

Releasing my first full album. Play more shows. Be happy.
