About us
We’d love to give you more information about our editorial team and the ideas behind this project.
The new merchandise is here!

Who writes here?
We are a small team of freelance editors and work on the website together with Sebastian, the founder of Musiksocke. Our aim is to publish high quality guides on the internet. Quality over quantity is our slogan!
The current members of the Musiksocke team are:
Sebastian (founder of musiksocke.com, child of the 90s, grew up with Napster, Bearshare & Co., also technical and creative director of the website)
Lisa (philosophy student from Berlin, always looking for new music, interested in Japanese culture, plays 4 musical instruments)
Matilda (freelance journalist, has been writing reviews of albums for over 10 years and is a passionate festival visitor, singer in the band “The Soundships”)
Jonas (self-employed copywriter, helps with his expertise in checking the texts and takes care of the many comments as well as e-mails, plays trombone in a marching band)
If we ever make a mistake, we would appreciate it if you could point it out to us. You can simply write us an e-mail. We will definitely answer and take care of it as soon as possible.
The best thing to do is to write an e-mail to Sebastian. He will then discuss it with the editorial team:
sebastian@musiksocke.com
We are looking for you!
Are you also passionate about music with all its different themes? You’re not afraid to tackle genres you don’t normally listen to in your everyday life?
Then you are just right for our team!
The best thing to do is to write an email to Sebastian (for contact details, see imprint) and briefly introduce yourself. You can then clarify everything else.
How is Musiksocke financed?
Musiksocke is financed by advertising. The use of the website remains free of charge. We use affiliate marketing and banners to earn money. When you click on a link, we get a commission when you buy a product or service. The price does not change for you. As an Amazon partner, we earn money on qualified sales. Our recommendations and opinions are created independently of these advertising partners. No company in the world can influence the content on Musiksocke. We report completely independently and objectively on all topics related to music.
