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 FMA Team

In the mid 90s, I won second place as Best Newcomer, and Top 20 positions for best album and best song with '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 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: Frau Holle
