About “Motown Royale”
Motown was a very famous black record label. Motown is also a slang word for the city of Detroit: Motown is the “Motor Town”, as this is where many of the US automobile manufacturers reside.
One of the great US cars produced in Detroit (at the “Jefferson North Assembly Plant”) was the “Hellcat”, the hood of the car can be seen on the cover of De Brand’s new dance single release “Motown Royale”. The production of this iconic car will be stopped in 2023.
Detroit is also a place where the urban music scene has thrived; it is undeniably one of the most important cradles of the new era clubbing scenes; To this day, house music has influenced and given birth to many new musical genres. Both the iconic cars and the awesome music, have inspired De Brand to dedicate his newest song release to this city of hard-working men and women, where elegance & style take on many shapes and forms.
The song tries to capture the tension between rich versus poor, the tension between the hard-working class versus the world of luxury, the tension between the rusty urban hardship versus ingenuity. Against the backdrop of an industrial city, where lots of rusty steel, noise and hard urban life can take its toll, creativity in the music scene has not only survived, but has managed to thrive and attain a whole new level. This seeming contradicting tension no doubt has been resolved by the creativitiy of the many talented people who make up this great american town.
The title Motown Royal is both a reference to the city of Detroit and the creativity that has shaped this industrious city for the past decades.

I am excited to announce the upcoming release of my newest album “Adaneos”. This upcoming release will sonically pay tribute to the heros of the early historic period that preceded classical antiquity by many thousand years.
It was a time pre-dating any known written accounts; a time in history, when oral accounts of ancient heros imprinted themeselves into the hearts and minds of mortals only by way of distant legends and myths; a time when stories passed from one generation to the next until many thousand years later they were written down.
Adaneos is the nativity of the earliest protolegends; the story of our common ancestry and the many brave men and women that set the stage for the world as we know it and that we today call our home.
The album will be released on in the autumn of 2022 and will become digitally available on various streaming platforms, such as YouTube, Spotify, iTunes / Apple Music, Deezer and more. While we are wainting for this anticipated release, feel free to listen to De Brand’s previous song and album releases directly here on De Brand’s website.

Rock Galactica – A Musical Journey in Space & Time
Youtopia’s defense satellites detect Alien Vanguard Ships Ascending1 out of deep space. After the enemy scout patrol is destroyed by royal forces, intelligence expects a massive enemy force about to invade!
Youtopia’s Deep Space Riders2 are sent out to mobilize allied forces, Calling on all Legions3 to unite. Commander Gravity is entrusted with leading the envoy. Many Deep Space Riders return without success, only a few Riders are able to mobilize allied forces to aid in the defense of Youtopia. Commander Gravity has not yet returned. His fate is uncertain and so is his effort to call on more troops for help.
The few arriving troops are deployed for a maneuver on Planet Vern – a colony in the border quadrants. Following an internal betrayal, Shadow forces launch a surprise attack, directing the main thrust towards King Aratron’s ship, ending with his death. The Battle at Vern4 is lost; the remaining royal and allied forces retreat to Youtopia.
News of The King’s Death5 and the lost battle causes a wide spread panic among the population of Planet Youtopia6 and all its colonies. In a Fearful Metropolis7 news travels fast, causing a rapid deterioration of moral of the people and the remnant forces. It seems destruction is inevitable and the fate of Youtopia seems like that of a Falling Star8.
The alien force soon appears in numbers so large that the sum of all ships approaching Youtopia block most of the incoming sunlight, leaving the planet in an eerie state of dusk & darkness. The Shadows9, as they are now called, demand an immediate capitulation of the Kingdom and control over all of its planets and cities. They have come to claim the invaluable resources of Vyla, Youtopia’s neighboring giant gas planet. Their threat causes paralyzing fear on the solar system’s capital planet: Any non-compliance by civilians or soldiers will be meet with torture to the degree of their resistance!
Meanwhile, commander Gravity Returns10 and is able to breach the blockade in a dramatic chase. His arrival also comes with the unexpected news that the mighty Seventh Legion under the command of King Aratron’s prodigal son – General Pantagos – is about to arrive at Youtopia.
The good news is accompanied with the appearance of a comet in the night sky, raising hopes that the thousand-year-old Chandrakhani Prophesy – promising victory and peace – could still fulfill itself. With a sense of new hope, the late King’s Daughter Princess Haia is called out of mourning to rally troops behind a new spirit of resistance. In an epic and courageous speech, that she begins with the words “I am your Princess”11, moral is slowly restored.
During the night of the speech, the people of Youtopia witness an astonishing event: The comet impacts the giant gas planet Vyla, a planet seven hundred times the size of their own. Only days later, the incredible gas giant impacted by the comet ignites, flooding Youtopia with rays of orange and red light. In the dawn of Rising Suns12 Vyla now appears as a new star on Youtopia’s horizon!
Commander Gravity’s promise of a massive relief force coming to free them is fullfilled, when the battle proven Seventh Legion arrives at Planet Youtopia. The Royal High Command declares a proclamation of resistance titled Our Fleet United13. Threatened to become the center of gravity and choked from two lines of battle, heavy Shadow forces attack Youtopia and The Invasion Begins14. In The Final Encounter15 between alien and allied forces, the Shadows are defeated in a hard and long battle.
Princess Haia’s Triumph16 is immediately celebrated when her victorious troops return! In a royal ceremony the day after, she is crowned queen of her people. As She Walks17 to ascend the throne of her late father, she smiles at Commander Gravity who she promoted to be her Admiral!
The relief of the people, having survived a horrible ordeal, creates an incredible spirit of happiness and joy. Life is celebrated as never before: The people cheer and celebrate the beginning of what will be Haia’s reign of peace!
