Two Wheels Move the Soul — the sophomore LP from the mercurial quartet Robber Robber — collects a series of pressurized vignettes to assemble a thrillingly explosive statement. Written and recorded following the demolition of founding members Nina Cates and Zack James’ longtime home, Two Wheels Move the Soul captures the chaos of living at the mercy of powers-that-be. Propelled by Cates’ nonchalant bars — inspired by the effortlessly cool cadence of Gucci Mane and Lou Reed — Two Wheels Move the Soul spans post-punk scorchers, burnt-out slacker anthems, and melodies that sweeten every bitter pill stomached along the way.

Following the acclaim of their debut — Pitchfork “Best Rock Albums of 2024”, Paste “Best Debut Albums of of 2024”, Stereogum “2024 Best New Artists” — Two Wheels Move the Soul works through the discomfort of class, upheaval, and inevitable catastrophe, as only Robber Robber could.

MOVING AS A GIANT is a noise/post-rock trio from Murska Sobota, active since 2022. Their sound is built on massive synth lines and unconventional rhythmic structures, imbued with a love for noise. Fronted by the commanding vocals of Bojana Pejanović, the band channels raw intensity and vulnerability in equal measure. Their self-titled debut LP, released on KAPA Records in June 2024, introduced their distinct sound to wide acclaim. The album captures the trio’s deep commitment to sonic exploration and emotional expression. In 2023, they toured as part of the Radio Študent Club Marathon, and in 2024 and 2025, they brought their sound to major festivals including MENT Ljubljana, Druga Godba, and Changeover Festival, solidifying their presence on the regional scene.

Hailing from Liège, Belgium, FERVENTS have established themselves in recent years as one of the most incisive rock bands of their generation. Two years after their EP ‘Plastic Snake Factory’, and driven by the infectious track “Faith,” the trio returned to the studio to record their debut album, filled with rougher, darker songs deeply influenced by the grunge and hardcore punk scenes. The band worked with award-winning producer Jack Shirley at The Atomic Garden in Oakland, CA.

Built on abrasive rhythms and irresistible melodies, the band’s three voices come together to challenge social conformity, everyday addictions, and the search for a life that still feels meaningful. Punk urgency meets post-hardcore grit, loud, tense, and alive.

ULLA SUSPEKT schreibt und produziert aus der Sicht der Unsichtbaren – der Hyperfühlenden und Überhörten. Mit ihrer Band bewegt sie sich zwischen Neuer Neuer Deutscher Welle, Lo-Fi-Wave und kantigen Breakbeats – im Sound oft post-punkig, in der Produktion roh und detailverliebt. Live trifft Haltung auf Energie: Mit Bass wird geschossen . Gegen das Patriarchat, gegen Fahrkartenkontrollen und gegen die Absurditäten des modernen Lebens. Ein klarer Blick auf die Welt, verpackt in Sarkasmus, Ironie und rohe Melancholie.

Ende Juni 2025 erschien ihr Debütalbum „Zappy Duster“ – ein Soundtrack zur Überforderung einer ganzen Generation: 50 % Psychose, 50 % Fun, zwischen NDW-Referenzen, Reggae-Texturen und psychedelischen Umwegen. Themen wie ADHS, Liebeschaos, Eskapismus und Clubkater treffen auf eine feministische Erzählhaltung, die sich gegen Konventionen stellt – laut, verletzlich und unbequem.

Yugo Taguchi is a Japanese reggae artist and producer currently based in Berlin, Germany. Renowned for his cross-cultural approach to roots and dub music, he has built an international reputation as a dynamic performer and collaborator bridging the Japanese, European, and Caribbean reggae scenes. 

Born in Japan, Taguchi began his musical journey in London in 2010, where he immersed himself in the city's vibrant sound system culture. Deeply influenced by pioneers such as Jah Shaka, The Twinkle Brothers, and the Bush Chemists, he developed a profound appreciation for the spiritual and rhythmic foundations of reggae and dub. 

In 2015, Taguchi relocated to France, where he connected with prominent artists including Bigga Ranx (Telly), Junior Roy, Ricky Sai Sai, and Joseph Cotton. These connection enriched his artistic palette, blending traditional roots reggae with contemporary European sounds. 

By 2017, Yugo had settled in Berlin, a city known for its eclectic music scene. Despite the global challenges of the pandemic, he refined his artistic identity and expanded his international network, working with musicians from diverse backgrounds. His partnership with Blessed Love Records Shop, established in 2021, marked a significant step in his mission to promote reggae culture through a curated selection of Jamaican, Japanese, and European labels. 

Taguchi's live performances have earned him recognition across continents. Notably, he performed at Rototom Sunsplash in Spain in 2023—one of the world's largest and most respected reggae festivals—and completed a successful South American tour with La Gorda Dub in 2024. 

Today, Yugo Taguchi stands as a global ambassador of reggae music, uniting cultures through rhythm, message, and authenticity. His work continues to embody the universal spirit of reggae—peace, unity, and conscious expression.

SHAKI TAVI / Minor Slip is the Felte debut from Shaki Tavi, the main project of Oklahoma-born, LA-based DIY lifer Leon Manson. Centered on squalls of fuzzed-out guitars, overdriven drums, and Manson’s harmonized baritone, its eight songs are powerful, vulnerable, catchy, and genuine, a pop-leaning eruption of creative force from the child of rock musicians, whose passion emerged as a small town outsider, and strengthened amid the artifice and fend-for-yourself reality of LA.

RIYL: Narrow Head, Cloakroom, Whirr, Kraus, Film School, Nothing, Ovlov, julie, Hum, Failure, They Are Gutting A Body of Water, Drop Nineteens, early Weezer, The Rentals, Pile, Alt Rock, Meat Wave, LVL UP, Autolux, Dinosaur Jr., Bowery Electric, Jesus & Mary Chain, Luster

Punk rockers EDGING come armed with crushing riffs, searing sax, and unapologetic queer chaos. Their music encompasses the mess that is modern life, resulting in an eruption of sound and sweat that borders on a religious experience.

Edging is a Chicago five-piece that proves good sax and hardcore punk are a match made in basement. Since being on the cover of the Chicago reader they’ve evolved from a wild DIY secret into a polished, high-velocity force. Led by the magnetic screaming and yelping of vocalist Faith Callaway. The band’s sound is defined y searing sax, fuzzy riffs, and a rhythm section that sounds like it’s constantly trying to outrun itself.

Edging has shared the stage with Amyl and the Sniffers, Upchuck, Snooper, Les Savy Fav, Die Spitz, Lambrini Girls, Pigs x7, Lydia Lunch, and many more. They already released a couple of albums, “Good Sex Music” (2023) and “Concrete Cumming” (2024). Their third record, “Unload your Shame”, will be out on the 5th of june.

JAZZ / »Jazz’ debut LP is a German homage to the absolute frustration people call life, while also showing paths out of total resignation. The whole ensemble of instruments sounds like an orchestrated funfair, constantly shifting between madness and joy. The variety of synths expels the paths of resignation and instead settles into your head like a screw. Warm and pumping, they move hand in hand with the playful, edgy drums.

The third song, “Reinfall,” already makes clear what is wrong all around you and drags you out of the present into the past … or is it the future already? While songs like “Hrvatska” denounce separation and strike against the way people treat each other, “Schmerz” is a sarcastic and groovy song for those who still have the power to feel pain. Whenever you think the structure is falling apart like a puzzle game, more than two hands appear to keep it all together. While the guitar functions like a pencil, highlighting sweet and sometimes dreamy melodies, more and more voices rise into a choir, all cheering to be alive.

The album ends with a chanson called “ein quäntchen Freud,” a beautiful ironic essence of what Jazz wants to express:

Even if all the complexity of this planet’s destiny crashes down on you like falling steel, you should still grab another person’s hand and ask for the next dance.« (Debbie Ober/Unter & Raphael Sternenhagel)

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bureau De Change is open for business. Their debut EP “Are You Flirting With Me?” was described as “Four Atonal Anthems that combine blistering musicianship, pulpit polemic, time signature jumping and righteous fury”. Guess what? Not enough Bureau de Change for you, they have ep number two on the way with the release of the first single “Dumb Men” out now!. Flora, Will, Connor, and Louis have been playing all over the UK and Europe with other industry darling projects and have come together to create a sound that truly stands out amongst the ever-growing and developing UK post-punk scene.
The band's recognizable writing style full of sardonic humor and decisive political messaging, is carried by their strong feminist undertones. They use striking imagery to draw idiosyncratic parallels to the world around them and the romanticized version of femininity. This is juxtaposed by the disjointed musical prowess (or lack of) to create a definitive sense of dissonance. The group has worked together to create a melodic and striking wall of sound that fills your entire body, a band that's strength comes through in their love of performance both live and recorded.




Mad Kitten draws from the raw energy of the 90s alternative scene (Sonic Youth, Bikini Kill), shaping a
sound that moves between sharp punk tension, noise textures and more loose, garage-driven
moments.
The band shifts between tension and release, carried by dissonant and explosive guitars, fast rhythms
and an impassive voice cutting through dense chaos.
Since their first show less than a year ago, Mad Kitten has been playing regularly between Strasbourg
and Germany, in independent venues, alternative events and DIY spaces.
