About Fade Files

Fade Files began in 2012 when Stefan Schmid from Fribourg, Switzerland and Richard Griffiths from Cardiff, Wales began making electronic music together. The pair had known one another since collaborating on songs for Stefan’s Swiss-based band, Marvin. Inspired by the Postal Service’s method of trans-state collaboration, Stefan and Richard began sharing files online, before meeting up to demo tracks in Fribourg and Cardiff. When Mark Hopgood, a London-based electronic musician, joined in 2015 the group further finessed their sound through a shared love of seventies and eighties electro-pop as well as contemporary groups such as Chromatics and LCD Soundsystem. Although based primarily in Cardiff, Wales, Fade Files also record in Switzerland, France and London, and are working towards an album for release in 2018. After a series of Welsh language only releases So Good is their second English language single, released as a free download from their website on November 6th, 2017.

Fade Files - Following Your Heart

Fade Files began in 2012 when Stefan Schmid from Fribourg, Switzerland and Richard Griffiths from Cardiff, Wales started making electronic music together. The pair had known one another ever since collaborating on songs for Stefan’s Swiss-based band, Marvin. Inspired by the Postal Service’s modus operandi of trans-state composition, Stefan and Richard began sharing files online, before meeting up to demo tracks in Switzerland and Wales. When Mark Hopgood, a London-based producer, joined in 2015 the group further finessed their sound through a shared love of early OMD, Seventies Eno and electronic Bowie, as well as contemporary EDM. After a couple of Welsh-language only singles, Following Your Heart (c/w New City Sunlight) is their first worldwide release.

Following Your Heart is about a dream of life; about memory and desire, paths taken and not taken.
