Buhai
 
Die Musik von Buhai bewegt sich elegant zwischen unterschiedlichen Genres und klingt dabei immer neu und originell. Eine eingängige, handgemachte und liebevoll ausgearbeitete Popmusik, beheimatet irgendwo zwischen Kraut-Rock, Neue Deutsche Welle, French-Pop und Jazz. Für ihre Duo-Tour haben Sängerin Meryem Kiliç und Gitarrist Dirk Häfner ihre Songs auf das Wesentliche heruntergebrochen. Melodie, Harmonie und Text stehen so ganz unverhüllt im Vordergrund. Eine Einladung an die Hörer*innen, voll und ganz in die Songs einzutauchen und sich von ihnen mitnehmen zu lassen. Zum Beispiel in den Sommerurlaub (St.Tropez), nach Paris auf die Champs-Élysées (Sommerwind), an verlassene Strände (Offseason Tristesse), hinein in tiefe Gefühlswelten (Weit fort) oder hinaus in die Weiten des Weltraums (Astronaut).

A night of Heavy Perreo and live Poetry from and with Messtizaje<\/strong>, a multi-genre Berlin Based band of South American origin and ELDANI <\/strong>a Chilean\/German poet, musician and content creator bringing the latin spirit to Schokoladen with both artists offering  us messages of differeent perspectives and resistance against all the \"isims\" that we are all encountering on a daily basis in the world and here at home.<\/p>\r\n

Messtizaje<\/strong> is a project created by the Berlin based Argentinian Cuculic brothers , mixing multiple musical genres such as Cumbia, Trap, Hip Hop, Metal and House, creating \"Heavy Perreo\" parties and fun and lots of dancing but full of messages. They have collaborated with artists  from the Argentinian music scene like Las Manos de Filippi, Macario, and Biscarrita among others”<\/p>\r\n

ELDANI i<\/strong>s a Chilean-German artist who works in the fields of poetry, music and content creation.<\/p>\r\n

As a content creator, ELDANI <\/strong>also brings us a proposal to fight against the German extreme right through social networks with videos that seek to unframe their reactionary narratives and expose their contradictions to inform, above all, our migrant community.  https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/eldaninsta\/<\/p>\r\n

Today his poetry gained notoriety on social networks thanks to the series “Berlin poetry”, which addresses various Berlin themes, from “winter” to political issues, accompanied by his characteristic way of narrating and the jazz music that accompanies his works.”<\/p>\r\n

Ever since landing in Berlin’s electronic scene in 2005, Gelbart has become one of the city’s best-kept secrets. Gelbart’s concerts are a one-man tour de force—a DIY extravaganza that blends bizarre electropop with surreal visuals, seamlessly synchronized to create an immersive, multidimensional experience. Gelbart is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist, composer, filmmaker, and author. His lifelong devotion to innovation has so far resulted in more than 20 LPs and EPs (on Joyful Noise, Gagarin Records, and Lo Recordings among others), compositions for live ensembles, numerous award-winning works of vegetable and\/or bunny animation, and a sci-fi novel.<\/p>\r\n

A dive into Gelbart’s body of work uncovers a bizarre yet wholly consistent world—an absurdist mirror-universe of sound and imagery that fuses the high-brow with the low, and the accessible with the complex. To sidestep the clichéd knob-tweaking of electronica and infuse his shows with band-like energy, Gelbart has developed a signature performance method. He combines synthesizers with guitar, bass clarinet, vocoder, and a self-built blipping machine—often juggling them all at once.<\/p>\r\n

Gelbart’s music has been a fixture on WFMU, while his animations graced festivals from London to Japan, and his sci-fi film Vermin was screened at the US Library of Congress. In recent years, Gelbart composed a large-scale, 70-minute work commissioned for a live ensemble at Haus der Kulturen der Welt (set for release as a double LP in late 2025), as well as a long-form piece for string quartet and electronic voice, performed in both Casa del Lago, Mexico and Berghain. Gelbart’s upcoming solo LP, Liquids and Flesh, will be released on Egglike Records in April 2025.<\/p>","footer":"","classname":"calendar-event"},{"date":"2025-04-05","badge":true,"title":"Local Support (hc) & M\u00fcde (d\u00fcster punk) & Bialla (punk) live __ & after 22h DJs Reni:Tenz & Rudy Reefer (punk \/ alternative \/ garage \/ indie)","body":"

Das habe ich mir mal von OX # 170 <\/a>entliehen. Fand die Bescheibung sehr passend:<\/p>\r\n

LOCAL SUPPORT<\/strong><\/em><\/a> stehen für modernen Hardcore, auch wenn im Begleitschreiben vollmundig behauptet wird, in der Essenz wäre es so, als hätten „NEGATIVE APPROACH und MINOR THREAT in Berlin-Neukölln eine Allstar-Band gegründet“. Mein Fazit nach zehn Songs und zwanzig Minuten: es ist ein Hardcore-Volley-Arschtritt par excellence.<\/p>\r\n

LOCAL SUPPORT<\/strong><\/em><\/a> stand for modern hardcore, even if the cover letter full-bodiedly claims that in essence it is as if \"NEGATIVE APPROACH and MINOR THREAT had founded an all-star band in Berlin-Neukölln\". My conclusion after ten songs and twenty minutes: it's a hardcore volley ass kick par excellence.<\/p>\r\n

Müde<\/strong><\/em><\/a>: Dunkler Punk, der irgendwie FLIEHENDE STÜRME mit einem guten Hauch von Rachut-Gesang vereint, ohne dass es wie eine typische Rachut-Band klingt. Vielversprechend dicker Sound der Berliner, der sich die Zeit und die Luft nimmt, um Spannungsbögen aufzubauen und einzureißen.<\/p>\r\n

Dark punk that somehow combines FLIEHENDE STÜRME with a good touch of Rachut vocals, without it sounding like a typical Rachut band. Promisingly thick sound of the Berliners, who takes the time and the air to build up and tear down arcs of suspense.<\/p>\r\n

Originally from the sunny town of Whakat\u016b Nelson, Aotearoa New Zealand, these days JOE GHATT resides in T\u0101maki Makaurau Auckland. Spending the last few years working at an undisclosed space company that builds rockets, Joe’s musical inspiration has always had a cosmic and otherworldly vision. Sure to please fans of Babe Rainbow and Allah Las and drawing from timeless sounds of 60s groups like The Seeds and The Byrds, Joe Ghatt has a knack for effortlessly fusing nostalgia with his own authentic sound, all recorded the old fashion way — straight to magnetic tape.

In a live setting; Joe and his energetic four piece band transform his humble recordings into a huge, jammy, psychedelic rock show that evokes positive vibes and compels everybody to dance. Joe Ghatt’s 2019 debut album, Banana Sludge has received cult-acclaim for its charming lo-fi psych-surf sound, featuring hit singles such as ‘Farewell’ and ‘Mammon’. Joe Ghatt’s freshly released sophomore album Caper, Joe Ghatt evolves his warbly psych pop and surf-infused rock with a plethora of exotic new influences, from Afro-Beat, Tropicalia, Bossa Nova, through to Latin American music and elements of Jazz.<\/p>\r\n

DEAFDEAFDEAF (UK)<\/strong>

DEAFDEAFDEAF have carved for themselves. Undefinable by genre, yet akin to influence, the boys have really pulled together an impressive roster of tracks – especially this early on in their career. Notably building a name for themselves in the live music industry as one to watch, they have a certain grace in creating atmosphere and forging chaos in even the most unconventional of spaces. The band perfectly executes a range of dynamic levels, knowing just when to throw an abundant amount of harsh noise at you resulting in an all more powerful feeling of intensity.<\/p>\r\n


Calgolla (DE)<\/strong>

Emanuele Calì continues a parallel path that combines music and poetry. He publishes his poems on some blogs and in 2015 he publishes with the collective and micro publishing house Apertura a Strappo in the collection of poems \"Margini Strutturali\". In spring 2018, under the pseudonym Calgolla, his debut solo album \"Tuorlo\", produced at Ruderec Studio, was released.<\/p>\r\n

Im selben Jahr spielte sie mit einigen der bedeutendsten Größen der italienischen wie internationalen Ska- und Punk-Szene, darunter The Locos, The Real McKenzies, The Bombpops, Los Fastidios und The Sewer Rats. Im Mai 2019 begann die nächste Tour, benannt nach der Single \"Paradox\". Im November 2020 wurde das neue Album \"Revolutionary Roots\" von dem Label Maldito Records veröffentlicht, gefolgt im Juli 2021 von der Single \"United We Stand\" und im März 2022 von einer weiteren Single, dem Ska-Punk-Cover des bekannten irischen Liedes \"Foggy Dew\".

Bhukhurah (-boo-koo-ra) is an emerging artist from Athens, Greece. His sound is an intoxicating fusion of modern and vintage aesthetics, hypnotic grooves, adhesive basslines, thunderous 808s, and psychedelic melodies that linger in the mind long after the music fades. Drawing inspiration from an eclectic range of artists—including Tame Impala’s dreamy psych-rock, Mk. gee’s genre-bending experiments, and the boundary- pushing innovation of Travis Scott and Tyler, the Creator—Bhukhurah creates a sonic universe that feels at once familiar and entirely new.<\/p>\r\n

On stage, he delivers an electrifying performance that transcends mere entertainment, pulling audiences into a kaleidoscopic experience of sound and emotion. With a unique ability to blend high-energy beats and raw vulnerability, his shows evoke an emotional spectrum that leaves listeners exhilarated and deeply connected. Whether it’s through immersive soundscapes or hard-hitting rhythms, he crafts a world where nostalgia meets innovation, and every moment feels like an unforgettable journey.<\/p>\r\n

Prepare to be transported as Bhukhurah brings his bold, genre-defying artistry to the festival stage—a sonic adventure you won’t want to miss.<\/p>\r\n

HACHIKU is the brainchild of German-Australian producer Anika Ostendorf, who writes and produces worldly indie rock with an alt-pop appeal alongside band members Jessie Warren (she\/her; bass, BVs), Georgia Smith (they\/she; guitar, BVs) and Simon Reynolds (he\/him - drums). Through the release of their self-recorded and self-mixed EP Hachiku (2017) and critically acclaimed debut LP I’ll Probably Be Asleep (2020), Hachiku has steadily built a loyal global fan base hinged on catchy melodies, shimmering walls of sound, and their praised live performances. They have seen consistent support and acclaim from NPR’s All Songs Considered, Bandcamp, DIY Magazine, Clash Magazine and NME among others, and are continuously invited to support household names around the UK, Europe, U.S. and so-called-Australia including Courtney Barnett, Jen Cloher, The Breeders, José González, Snail Mail and more, including festival slots at Iceland Airwaves, SXSW and Melbourne Music Week. Ostendorf is also a frequent collaborator of Jen Cloher’s, co-producing their ARIA, AMP, AIR and Music Victoria-nominated fifth album I Am The River, The River Is Me (2023), and has landed syncs in the US including on Netflix’s Never Have I Ever, HBO Max’s The Sex Lives of College Girls and Audi’s mysterious 13-minute ‘Led Balloon’ film commercial.<\/p>\r\n

Juno Lee ist gebürtige Berlinerin. 2019 fing sie an, auf der Straße und U-Bahnhöfen zu spielen - zwischen Taubenscheiße und motzendem Sicherheitspersonal. Ohne bisherige Veröffentlichungen, Label oder Bookingagentur folgten internationale Auftritte auf dem Sziget, c\/o Pop, Jenseits von Millionen, Rocken am Brocken und Pop Kultur Festival.<\/p>\r\n

Mit ihrer jüngst erschienen Debut EP „Laundry Days“ (VÖ 08.11.2024 via RAUFASER TONTRAEGER) wurde Juno Lee als Newcomerin der Woche bei DLF Kultur gefeiert und schaffte es auf Playlists von DIFFUS und dem Picky Magazin. „Radio mit K“ spielte ihre Debut Single „I´m Fine, Thank You“ und byte.fm lud sie zum Interview ein. An der Lichtung, an der Riot Grrrls und Barbies einen Handschlag tauschen, dröhnt Juno Lee aus dem Soundsystem.<\/p>\r\n

BRAD MARINO first came to my attention as a member of The Connection along with fellow popster Geoff Palmer. A four piece outfit that tastefully blended past sounds such as The Ramones and Rockpile, their first couple of records were a refreshing change from the norm. Then, along came The New Tracaderos. In this iteration, the talents of Kurt Baker were introduced to the mix. Marino taps both of these very talented guys on his new, solo effort entitled Grin & Bear It. The results are quite enjoyable.
Adrenaline soaked power pop! Grin and Bear it.<\/p>\r\n

In a sea of trash, GOLDEN SHITTERS stand alone.

Currently preparing for the release of their fourth album set for release in 2025, RATS ON RAFTS’ new single ‘Hibernation’ is a rain-soaked lament to nature’s battered mortality, a monochrome snapshot of the landscape played out in beautiful cold wave delay.  <\/p>\r\n

Finding joy in self-isolation, “I noticed that I could feel really comfortable with songs that can feel really heavy and isolated,” says frontman David Fagan “ If you listen to a Joy Division record for example, for a lot of people they’re really downcast. But for some people it’s like stepping into a really warm bath, because you can really identify with that music. I think that’s also what’s going on with ‘Hibernation’. I could identify with the coldness of the atmosphere, and that languid feeling of that song.”\u202f <\/p>\r\n

Following 2021’s exceptional ‘Excerpts From Chapter 3’ with its plagues, dreams, modal guitars, and mesmerising mantras, new single ‘Hibernation’ descends further into a brooding wasteland.<\/p>\r\n

“I think this song really is a good example of what our new record sounds like. Slowing everything down as much as possible gives it a lot of space. The sound of the Soundcraft 1S mixing desk we used to record the album, close to the version Lee Perry used to mix his famous black ark records, works really well for the dub side of the song but also the doom side. This song and the record in general are not romanticizing this “darkness” as much as accepting it’s part of our persona\/character.”<\/p>\r\n

---<\/p>\r\n

ANNA LUCIA is a Berlin-based musician and artist who works at the intersection of music, performance and visual arts.<\/p>\r\n

Centered around a magnetic vocal delivery, she fuses elements of poetry, film-score and drone into ecstatic pop dirges that oscillate between hope and despair and allow dark and powerful moments to co-exist with passages of fragility and softness. Through her lyrics she channels characters; playing with the audience's perspectives and expectations using a method of alternative storytelling, which dips anachronistically in and out of different histories, both imagined and real. With her rich, androgynous vocals often inviting comparisons to Nico and Anohni, her performances challenge sonic notions of gender and genre. Besides performing solo, Anna Lucia is the singer and front woman of the band Anchoress.<\/p>\r\n

VEX<\/strong> is a wonderfully weird dance-punk, synth-pop band from Malmö, Sweden. 

Their yellow live show has gained quite a reputation for being very energetic, fun and weird, filled with dancing and odd props like food graters and gymnastic ribbons. With their playful attitude, irresistible hooks and choruses, it's all just really entertaining.

Dance punk bonanza!

The band's third album, titled \"New Sick Music,\" was released on May 10th, 2024, under the HepTown Records label.
Vex's debut album won the Best Debut award at Synthsläggan 2021. All three albums have been mixed and mastered by Gustav Brunn (known for his work with Timbuktu, Mando Diao, and Yung Lean) at GG All In studio in Lund. 
Vex was founded in 2019 by Tobias Kastberg, formerly of the electro-punk duo The Guilt. Frida Ekerlund and Sasha Reiss have since joined Vex on stage.

BIG FUN (US)

Hatching out of the underground DIY punk scene in Los Angeles, California, Big Fun has assembled a noisy, hard-hitting, electronic sound that zig-zags through techno, hardcore, and dance punk. They are known for their mind-bending and powerful live performances as well as their groundbreaking, atmospheric recordings. Formed in 2017, their set up includes Austin Ford on synthesizers and vocals, Nick Tripi on drums, and Cody Barbato on bass.

<\/p>\r\n


Tommy and the Teleboys (DE)

In the shadow of the prefabricated buildings in the central German province between Halle and Berlin, the quartet plays loud and sweaty psychedelic fuzz rock. Guitars, driving synths, sometimes garnished with a sweet West Coast melody, sometimes with the noise crowbar. A band that brings styles together, emulates role models and yet has its own sound and sounds different. Here, garage rock is mixed with psychedelia, and post-punk, krautrock and electronica are tried out. Danceable, groovy, wild and full of melodies. Then relaxed and floating again. Despite rigid genre boundaries, everything is allowed and a wild mix comes together.<\/p>","footer":"","classname":"calendar-event"},{"date":"2025-04-30","badge":true,"title":"IXZHILION (Space Rock) & RYL ( Surf\/Garage Rock)","body":"

M:Soundtrack x Café Chocolat welcomes spring! Batila & The Dreambus bring artist Betina Quest onboard for a beautiful Afro Soul evening!<\/p>\r\n

Dear Lovely Listeners! its a been a while and through the thaw of 2024 into 25 we have all been on one hell of a ride. Things are looking bleak out there, BUT the remedy is in moments like this that we can create a space for community to gather! WE are still looking how to bring back Café Chocolat this year with more events and this is a little teaser and warmer upper - so please bring you friends and join us back at cosy Schokoladen for a beautiful evening and celebration of music and culture!<\/p>\r\n

This evening featuring the GUEST ARTIST:  Betina Quest – An Electronic Afro-Soul Experience<\/p>\r\n

From Burundi to the world, Betina Quest<\/strong><\/em> crafts a sound that blends electronic experimentation with deep soul and raw emotion. As a multi-instrumentalist and one-woman powerhouse, she layers loops, synths, and samples to create immersive sonic landscapes. With a rich, warm voice and an instinct for connection, she invites audiences into an intimate yet boundless musical journey.<\/p>\r\n

Her name, Quest, reflects her artistry—a search for unity, a voice for untold stories, and an exploration of sound beyond borders. Growing up across multiple continents, she seamlessly fuses genres and languages, shaping a style that’s as fluid as it is powerful. Now, she shares fan favorites and unreleased tracks from her upcoming EP, guiding listeners into new yet familiar emotional territories.<\/p>\r\n

And of course our Houseband:  <\/em>Batila & The Dream Bus – A Bantu Soul Experience<\/em><\/p>\r\n

Batila & The Dream Bus is a Berlin-based band led by singer-songwriter Batila, the visionary behind Bantu Soul. Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Batila draws inspiration from legends like Papa Wemba and Franco while forging his own path. His music blends Afrobeat, soul, reggae, and Congolese rhythms into a sound that is both deeply rooted in tradition and boldly innovative. The Dream Bus, featuring some of Berlin’s finest musicians, creates an ever-evolving, immersive experience that transcends borders and generations.<\/p>\r\n

More than just a band, The Dream Bus is a movement—one that unites, uplifts, and tells powerful stories through groove-driven melodies. Batila’s deep connection to the Kongo shines through in his homage to Rumba Congolaise, while his global sonic influences push the music forward. Just like a bus picking up and dropping off passengers, The Dream Bus is constantly shaped by the musicians and cultures that step on and off, absorbing new influences while staying true to its roots. This fluidity keeps the music fresh, dynamic, and ever-evolving, making each performance a unique and electrifying journey.<\/p>\r\n

Batila & The Dream Bus  features some of the city’s finest musicians, including: Dodo Nkishi (drums), Paul Hoyle (bass), Sam Konzi (electric guitar), Jarrah Skyline Sun (electric guitar),  Adam Pawel Dziewaltowski-Gintow (percussion), Nane Kahle (vocals), Maurizio Fleury (keys), and a rotating cast of guest excellent musicians like Kalle Zeier or Regis Molina for example.<\/p>\r\n

Between the waking world and the realm of dreams, Sloe Paul weaves their music—softly spun, yet deeply resonant. A melange of psych-folk experimental singer\/songwriter that’s as catchy as it is unconventional. Warm, narrative melodies hint at pop music from decades past, but constantly twirl into a very distinctive sound.<\/p>\r\n

Live, Sloe Paul isn’t trying to knock you over. Instead, they pull you in with songs that take their time, unfolding gently. After some time off the road and the release of a double single last year, they’re back for 2025 with a new set of songs that have been patiently waiting to be heard.

The lineup includes Marius Schwingel (bass), Tim Bohner (drums), Marcus Schreiter (guitar), Marius Moses Alsleben (synths, guitar, vocals), Paul Abbrecht (piano, vocals).<\/p>\r\n

NIXNOIES: NixNoies – or »nothing new« – is the solo project of Georgian musician and artist Nino Tsimakuridze, who operates between synth pop, lo-fi, and independent music. The arrangement was exclusively written for the
3-octave Yamaha synthesizer.

Harmonic transitions and dissonant sounds push the listener back and forth between comfort and discomfort, aiming to transport them atmospherically into an in-between world. High, partly dissonant synth sounds
and gentle, melodic vocals balance each other out, creating a sense of togetherness where each listener can hope for and dream of a conclusion.<\/p>","footer":"","classname":"calendar-event"},{"date":"2025-05-15","badge":true,"title":"DARTZ (pub punk \/ NZ) + Day Clinic (post-punk, psych rock \/ Berlin)","body":"

DARTZ<\/a> (NZ)

New Zealand pub-punks DARTZ ignited into existence in 2019 after vocalist Danz shit-talked his way into an opening slot for Aussie rockers The Chats — before realising he might need a band (and songs). He quickly recruited mates Crispy, Rollyz, and Clark, and the four-piece started firing out their unique brand of garage rock: fast-paced guitar-driven anthems with razor-sharp lyrics tackling everything from relatable tales of small town parents and racing to the pub after work, to hard-hitting takes on issues like decolonisation, drug testing, and megachurch pastors.<\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

DARTZ's second album \"Dangerous Day To Be A Cold One\" was released via legendary Aotearoa label Flying Nun on 1 March 2024, debuting at #1 on the NZ album charts. With song names like \"Bush Weed\", \"Gender Reveal Burnout\", \"Flat Inspection\", \"Get In On The Groundfloor\", and \"Learning To Drive With Dad\", there's no question that DARTZ are continuing as they started: taking the piss out of every landlord, pyramid schemer and property developer under the sun, while along the way expressing a genuine love for their rural NZ upbringings and the cast of characters that fill out those small towns.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n


Day Clinic<\/a> (DE)

International collective based in Berlin. Cold post-punk blended with furious psych rock. The soundtrack for dark days and endless nights. Debut album S\/T released in 2023. New EP comes out in spring 2025.

Zahni, Basti und Matze sind TAG OHNE SCHATTEN aus Hannover. Die aktuelle Besetzung hat sich Anfang 2023 nach der zwischenzeitlichen Auflösung der Band zusammengefunden, um eigentlich nur eine Supportshow für MUFF POTTER zu spielen. Aber eins führte zum anderen, es begann wieder richtig Spaß zu machen und so folgten etliche Konzerte mit Bands wie VERSUS YOU, CHESTER PARK, TRAINER, SKIN OF TEARS, DUESENJAEGER, ES WAR MORD, den Freunden von TRUST ISSUES und vielen mehr. Die Band steht für Uptempo-Punkrock-Songs mit Texten über gesellschaftliches und zwischenmenschliches Auseinanderdriften, welche mit einer guten Portion Wut und Melancholie, sowie einem gewissen PMA-Hardcore-Drive gespielt werden.<\/a><\/p>\r\n

NAP EYES’ metamorphic fifth long-player collects a cache of nine fascinating songs recorded over the four years since Snapshot of a Beginner. The Neon Gate reveals classic touchstones (the uneasy interplay of physics and philosophy, perambulatory meditations, self-interrogating soliloquies, apertures of surreality, video games), but also evidence of divergent impulses toward nonlinear abstraction and longform improvisational composition (resulting in their most discursive, deconstructed, and deliquescent songs to date) and narrative and lyric formality (including adaptations of thorny poems by Alexander Pushkin and W. B. Yeats), imparting the sense that Nap Eyes have transmuted, as has their understanding of what a song is, what it can do, where it might go.<\/p>\r\n

---<\/p>\r\n


NAIVE SET is an Amsterdam-based band that, for more than 10-years, has taken a loose approach to detailed guitar pop, making songs both easy on the ears and pleasing on repeat. In their three previous full-lengths and one EP, the band weaved together hazy and wavy with bright and shiny, channeling guitar-pop classics without being defined by them.
 
Dubbed “smart, highly catchy indiepop,” by VPRO 3voor12 and “classic-indie artisans” by MOJO, Naive Set is back in 2024, releasing stellar new material (compared to “silver crystal” by the Volkskrant) with the Amsterdam-based label AT EASE. Their full length, In Air Quotes, is out October 18th.
 
Recorded at Schenk Studio, Amsterdam, then mixed in Melbourne by Mikey Young, the Australian producer of bands like Dick Diver, Total Control, and Twerps.

Krautfuzz<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

(E)
krautfuzz started out recording live improvisations at the ZONE Studio, Berlin, in November 2022.
As Imari Kokubo (drums), Dirk Dresselhaus (guitar\/vocal), and Derek Shirley (bass) come from an
extended variety of musical backgrounds, including activities with the likes of Faust, Vladislav Delay
Quartet, die ANGEL, Schneider TM, Piratezombiedog, Monno, The Still, and Hi-Speed Dubbing, the
premise is to boil down stylistic concepts to their essence by playing adventurous, cathartic, and
time-transcending music without a safety net, while giving some extra attention to
communication in-between each other as well as to the individual subconsciousness. krautfuzz is
embossed by an angular-futuristic tension, spanning from fuzzed-out neo-psych-rock to
abstract, heavily processed minimalism to pure noise, and is open at the fringes, which means
the implementation of occasional, non-typical musical elements in the studio, live video
improvisations by iLan katin as well as surprise guest performers at their live shows, which
usually join in at the 2nd set of the evening and so far included luminaires such as saz player Murat
Ertel (Baba Zula), experimental saxophonist André Vida, J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.), sitar player Chandra
Shukla (Xambuca), or Eleni Poulou (ex-The Fall) & Hilary Jeffery (zeitkratzer).

krautfuzz begannen im November 2022 mit der Aufnahme von Live-Improvisationen im ZONE
Studio, Berlin. Imari Kokubo (Schlagzeug), Dirk Dresselhaus (Gitarre\/Gesang) und Derek Shirley
(Bass) kommen aus den unterschiedlichsten musikalischen Bereichen und haben bereits mit
Projekten und Bands wie Faust, Vladislav Delay Quartet, die ANGEL, Schneider TM,
Piratezombiedog, Monno, The Still und Hi-Speed Dubbing gearbeitet. Die Prämisse ist, stilistische
Konzepte auf ihre Essenz zu reduzieren, indem abenteuerliche, kathartische und
zeitüberschreitende Musik ohne Sicherheitsnetz gespielt wird, wobei der Kommunikation
untereinander und dem individuellen Unterbewusstsein besondere Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt wird.
krautfuzz ist geprägt von einer kantig-futuristischen Spannung, die von fuzzed-out Neo-Psych-
Rock über abstrakten, stark bearbeiteten Minimalismus bis hin zu purem Noise reicht und offen
an den Rändern ist, was die Implementierung gelegentlicher, untypischer musikalischer Elemente
im Studio, Live-Videoimprovisationen von iLan katin sowie Überraschungsgästen bei ihren
Liveshows bedeutet, die in der Regel im zweiten Set des Abends einsteigen und zu denen bisher
Koryphäen wie der Saz-Spieler Murat Ertel (Baba Zula), der Experimental-Saxophonist André Vida, J
Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.), Sitar-Spieler Chandra Shukla (Xambuca) oder Eleni Poulou (ex-The Fall) &

MITRAILLE: The city of Antwerp, Belgium may be primarily known for its harbour, cathedral and diamond trade, but anyone who scratches beneath the surface can find a thriving underground scene. Especially in the last few years the great output of hardcore and garage punk bands makes one suspect that - besides massive PFAS pollution and record breaking cocaine residue levels - there must be something in the water.

Mitraille burst unto this scene in 2018 with a sound that takes the bursting-at-the-seams energy of modern day basement hardcore and injects it into a strain of diseased garage- and post punk. Think Uranium Club if they were Motörhead roadies with anger management issues. The band has been shredding its way through Europe since day one, releasing three EP's and a full album in the process. With a new album due for autumn 2024, Mitraille is ready to spread the Belgian garagecore gospel once more.<\/p>\r\n

PEITSCHE! Aus der Region, für die Region, macht Peitsche aus der Not eine Tugend and blends a punk approach with minimalist sound and electronic elements. Echoing the experimental spirit of early 80s bands, Peitsche pairs simple melodies with ironic lyrics that explore the absurdities of every day life. Ist das NNNADW oder Retro-Fururismus oder Kunst, oder Müll, oder kann das weg, ja?nein?<\/p>","footer":"","classname":"calendar-event"},{"date":"2025-05-26","badge":true,"title":"Curse Ov Dialect (Surreal Hip Hop, Melbourne) + Snailmate (Synthpunk\/Grindcore Pop,\/Nerd Rap, Phoenix) + Myles Bullen (Soft Rap\/Art Poet, Portland)","body":"

SCHNAPS sind ein kompromisslos, antifaschistisches Punkrock Duo, das seine Wurzeln in Hamburg und dem Harz hat. SCHNAPS sind 95 Jahre alt und musizieren seit 2000 in verschiedenen Bandformationen zusammen. Im Jahre 2019 beschlossen Ronald und Christoph ihre Musik auf das Wesentliche zu reduzieren. Hierzu kombinieren sie den Punk der Achtziger mit dem Hardcore der Neunziger und verpacken ihre politische Botschaft in Alltagsgeschichten, die sie in deutscher Sprache erzählen. Ein guter Punkrock Song sollte in zwei Minuten zum Punkt kommen und an diese Maxime hält sich Deutschlands Punkrock Duo #1 auf seinen drei bisher veröffentlichten Alben konsequent.<\/p>","footer":"","classname":"calendar-event"},{"date":"2025-06-07","badge":true,"title":"brighter agency & lls prsnt: TEA EATER (art-punk\/weirdo-pop, nyc) + tba.","body":"

TEA EATER is a New York City based art\/noise punk band led by Tarra Thiessen of Gustaf and Sharkmuffin. Their sound combines catchy hooks with sardonic lyrics about butter, killing your doppelganger, and how the DMV is the worst. Formed in 2022, Tea Eater quickly established themselves through their high-energy live shows and DIY ethos. Since the release of their first single “I’m Starting a Podcast,” Tea Eater have shared the stage with Thee Oh Sees, completed a successful residency at Bushwick venue The Broadway, and toured the U.S. East Coast.<\/p>\r\n

Since 2012, Markus and Frank—legends of the underground from KURT, TEN VOLT SHOCK and MAULGRUPPE — have channeled decades of raw energy and creativity into their duo YASS<\/strong>. With a sound that reimagines KRAFTWERK's precision and hypnotic mechanical monotony through the lens of noise, distortion, and relentless rhythm, YASS delivers a visceral fusion of Post-Punk,Noise, Kraut and irresistibly pulsing Synth loops.

Having toured Europe, the USA, Japan, and Australia since the '90s, Markus Brengartner and Frank Otto are no strangers to pushing boundaries. Between 2018 and 2023, they collaborated with Jens Rachut in the project MAULGRUPPE, crafting two critically acclaimed albums released on \"Major Label\".

Now, YASS <\/strong>is back with their third LP to be released in June 2025 on Crazysane Records—a highly anticipated evolution of their unique sonic universe.

YASS has created their own entirely unique sound by working with various samplers, loopers, extensive sound and vocal effects, as well as countless plugins. They craft the blue prints for their songs at home on the computer, transforming these intricate soundscapes into live performances. Especially live, this is a one-of-a-kind experience, bursting with energy and precision. The two musicians have over 10 record releases to their name. YASS itself has released three records so far on the former cult label X-Mist Records.

\"No band has ever sounded like this before... Yass are beyond any reference!\" -Ox Fanzine

\"Punk-Noise-Cyber-Indie-Rock barely scratches the surface. YASS is a trip—wild, mind-bending, and utterly one-of-a-kind.\" -True Trash Fanzine

The result is a tachycardic, percussive, disciplined performance where Vincent embodies a trance-inducing machine, inviting people to dance with nothing but a drum kit and effects pedals.<\/p>\r\n

After 7 albums and more than 150 gigs the last 2 years, Vincent Redel (La Colonie de Vacances, Y3str, S.E.V.E.R.E. IN) has established himself as a sure value in French and international “electro\/industrial” music. He has performed on huge stages and prestigious venues like : Bord de scène in Vitry le François, L'autre canal and the Mîchto Festival, Le Bon Moment Festival in Nancy , the Derivat Festival in Zadar (HR), the Schokoladen in Berlin (DE) , the legendary Festival de la Prairie in Agen, which celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2024 , in more than 20 countries in Europe.

BAD LUCK RIDES ON WHEELS<\/strong> from Rostock formed in 2004, established as a post-metal project filled with dark endless prog jams. The musicians also play in bands such as WOJCZECH, CONFUSION MASTER, and WHO’S MY SAVIOUR. After years of endless tours, serious mental breakdowns, and challenges, the power trio has now arrived in absolute darkness, with hypnotic sound loops, incredibly heavy drums, and impenetrable guitars, from which vocals emerge from somewhere deep down.

PΞB<\/strong> (Industrialized Progcrustination, Berlin)
PΞB is pain, PΞB is joy, it’s an illness, but can be a cure, it’s machines at work, but as human as it gets, it’s metal and raw flesh, it’s about terror, horror, shock and trauma, and a remedy for all of the above. It finds beauty in the ruins, serenity in noise, liberation in chains … and chainsaws. Born out of a healthy disgust and a tendency for perfection, PΞB was puked into the world by Edelfaul-co-founder Ilia Gorovitz on drums and electronic devices and obscure Berlin underground celebtrity Asja Skrinik shouting, yelling and pushing buttons. The place of both conception and birth was that same furnace where pretty much most of our ideas are being spawned. To those who witnessed its first staggering steps, PΞB was some next level shit from the get go.

Darsombra <\/strong>is a trans-apocalyptic galaxy rock duo from Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Known internationally for walking the line between glam-prog-psych-stoner metal and site-specific installation performance art, their hallucinogenic live shows are often met with the following responses: “I didn’t know what to expect, but that was awesome”, “I’ve never seen anything like that before”, and “it was like tripping on acid, without the acid.”<\/p>\r\n

The band has a committed DIY cottage industry ethic, self-producing their music and videos and booking their own tours globally. They bring a stadium show in a cargo van or a handful of suitcases, and have performed in 48 states and 23 countries worldwide since their inception in 2005.\u2028

SKULL CULT (USA) --> Brief bursts of hyperkinetic mongoloid synth punk here. A caffeine buzz blend of DEVO, URANIUM CLUB, and SERVOTRON.<\/p>\r\n

It's been over six years since we've last heard from this Bloomington, Indiana group which by now must be considered a highly influential force on the current garage-, synth- and eggpunk scene while in the meantime, members of the group have pumped their creative juices into acts like Belly Jelly, QQQL, Dummy and Big Hog. Now that they finally break the deafening silence, i gotta say this shit works better than ever in what must be the strongest set of tunes they've delivered so far. Just a tiny bit less weird and cluttered than on their previous efforts with more grounded, catchy and melodic song foundations and echoes of the likes of Tyvek, Marked Men and Lost Sounds, this is a strikingly mature work with all the hallmarks of a band that took a long break to branch out creatively in other projects, now reconvening to apply everything they've learned along the way with sleepwalking precision to an effortlessly wrecking result.<\/p>","footer":"","classname":"calendar-event"},{"date":"2025-06-30","badge":true,"title":"Chelsea (Punk legends from UK) + DEGRADACE (punk\u00b4n\u00b4roll\/ Tschechien)","body":"

 <\/p>\r\n

Chelsea<\/strong> were formed in 1976 by front man Gene October. Spearheading the punk movement, their debut single ‘Right To Work’ was released in 1977 which brought the attention of the music press. Gene October was responsible for starting The Roxy Club in Soho where many of the early punk bands started playing and Chelsea began playing alongside the likes of The Clash, The Damned, The Police, Sham 69. Featuring in Derrek Jarman’s punk film ‘Jubilee’ Chelsea also featured on 2 John Peel sessions and the Old Grey Whistle Test at the BBC promoting their self titled first album. After a succession of singles and release of a 2nd album Chelsea toured the U.K & America releasing their 3rd album ‘Evacuate’ in 1980. The Evacuate album saw them touring again in the U.S and in the U.K with Anti Nowhere League on the infamous ‘So What’ tour. Through various line-up changes over 4 decades, October continued to tour with Chelsea releasing 17 singles and 12 studio albums to date. Celebrating their 40th anniversary in 2016 many of the Chelsea albums have been re-issued on collectors limited colored vinyl. The release of Chelsea’s complete recordings feature in the new anthology box sets 1 – 3 which include demos, previously unheard tracks, a historical biography through the albums, pictures and lyrics to all the songs. In 2023 Chelsea was celebrating 40 years of „Evacuate“, the classic album of the band. The latest release is the album „Meanwhile Garden“, published in spring 2021<\/p>","footer":"","classname":"calendar-event"},{"date":"2025-07-05","badge":true,"title":"Acht Eimer H\u00fchnerherzen & NinaMarie (Hofkonzert)","body":"

Sukini live auf der Bühne mit Band und jetzt könnt ihr endlich mal eure Kinder mit zum Schokoladen nehmen!<\/p>\r\n

Sukini:<\/p>\r\n

Ehrlich, direkt, unmittelbar – so erlebt Sukini all jene vor allem jüngeren Menschen, die ihr bei Konzerten begegnen. Ehrlich, direkt und unmittelbar ist auch ihr Umgang mit dem Publikum. Anstelle von künstlichen Inszenierungen und schnelllebigen Musikprodukten wählt Sukini einen anderen Weg: Themen, die ihrer Lebensrealität und der Auseinandersetzung mit Gegenwartsdiskussionen entspringen, sowie künstlerische Entscheidungen, die über kommerzielle gestellt werden.<\/p>\r\n

Ehrlich, direkt, unmittelbar zeigt sich auch der Song „Da haben wir den Salat“. Immer wieder hätten sich Kinder bei ihren Konzerten ein Lied über Tiere gewünscht. Entstanden ist nun ein veganer Song über das Tiere-(Nicht)essen, der Tierrechte und die Wichtigkeit von Tierwohl altersgerecht vermittelt.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

Gob<\/a> is a legendary Canadian punk band from Vancouver, British Columbia, known for their
infectious, hook-laden sound and relentless DIY ethic. As they approach their 30th anniversary, Gob’s
influence on the punk scene remains undeniable. The band first gained prominence in 1995 with their hit
“Soda” from the album Too Late… No Friends, which became a youth anthem in Canada, thanks in part to its
iconic music video which received heavy rotation on Canada’s Muchmusic.
Over the years, Gob has released six full-length albums, sold over 300,000 physical copies, and earned
Juno nominations and Gold record certifications. Their singles “I Hear You Calling” and “Give Up the Grudge”
further solidified their place in punk rock history. Known for their energetic live shows, Gob has performed
worldwide, including major festivals like Warped Tour, Edgefest, and Amnesia Rockfest. They are one of the
rare punk bands to have had the honor of gracing the stage at Budokan in Japan.<\/p>\r\n

Mit Jung kaputt spart Altersheime<\/em> lieferten Ba\u0308rchen und die Milchbubis<\/strong><\/u> zu Beginn der 80er-Jahre DEN Punk-Slogan der Zeit, „No Future!“, war das Motto. Doch auch u\u0308ber den Punk hinaus verfu\u0308gte die Band u\u0308ber reichlich Pop-Appeal und agierte an der Schnittstelle zur Neuen Deutschen Welle. Ich will nicht a\u0308lter werden, hieß es auf ihrem Debu\u0308talbum Dann macht es Bumm (1981). A\u0308lter geworden sind sie, milde jedoch nicht, denn Anlass zum Wu\u0308tend-Sein und Feiern gibt es noch immer. U\u0308ber 40 Jahre spa\u0308ter folgt nun mit ihrem zweiten Album also Die Ru\u0308ckkehr des Bumm!<\/p>\r\n

Ende der Siebziger begannen Annette „Ba\u0308rchen“ Simons und eine Gruppe Teenager-„Milchbubis“, Hannover unsicher zu machen. Von da an war die Band mit ihren humorvoll-subversiven Texten breitfla\u0308chig vertreten: Von Jugendzentren, Underground-Tapes und nischigen Fanzines u\u0308ber die Bravo bis ins BRD-Fernsehen sowie auf den großen Bu\u0308hnen des Landes – viele waren dem Ba\u0308rchen-Charme verfallen. Nach einer LP und einer EP folgte 1983 mit der Label- auch die Bandauflo\u0308sung und die Gruppe verschwand vorerst von der Bildfla\u0308che.<\/p>\r\n

Eine inspirierende, berauschende Reise an der Grenze des Machbaren, zwischen Breakbeat, Techno, Punk und Ambient.
Seit mehr als 30 Jahren betreten Rizio und Scheng bewusst die Shadowlands neben unseren Erwartungen. Sie brechen aus bestehenden musikalischen Normen aus und kreieren etwas völlig Neues, Eigenes. Zitate aus dem Punk und Hardcore werden genauso authentisch umgesetzt wie Drum and Bass, Breakbeat, Techno oder Klassikeinflüsse.

Ursprünglich aus der Punkszene stammend wurden GUTS PIE EARSHOT in den 90er Jahren - damals mit fünf Mitgliedern - als Avantgarde-Legende des undogmatischen Hardcore auf unzähligen Festivals und Konzerten gefeiert.
Seit 2004 treten Jean Jacobi, Schlagzeug und Patrick Reerink, E-Cello als Duo auf.
Seitdem spielten die beiden Musiker neben unzähligen Konzerten im deutschsprachigen Raum jährliche Tourneen in Osteuropa und wurden 2005 und 2011 zu Kulturaustauschen nach Klaipeda, Litauen und Murmansk, Russland eingeladen. 2006 spielten sie auf dem Sziget-Festival und seit 1999 sind sie regelmässiger Gast auf dem Fusion-Festival.

DIE ZÄRTLICHKEIT

Kurz nachdem sich Andreas Fischer und Tobias Emmerich 2019 kennengelernt hatten, wurden die ersten Songs geschrieben und im Homestudio aufgenommen. Zum Vorbild nahmen sie sich den britischen Gitarren-Pop der 80er-Jahre: The Smiths, Orange Juice, Felt. Samtweich klangen jene Formationen und wenngleich ihre Melodien durchaus beschwingt daher kamen, wurden sie doch immer aus Empfindsamkeit geboren.

Nach mehreren in Eigenregie veröffentlichten Werken erschien Ende 2023 das erste Album Heimweh Meisterwerke bei Tapete Records, gefolgt von kleineren Clubkonzerten in ganz Deutschland.
In der Zwischenzeit hat die Band an neuem Material gearbeitet, das am 25. April 2025 bei Kleine Untergrund Schallplatten erscheint: popsongs

\"Entstanden in der immerwährenden Spiralbewegung mit und zu sich selbst sind zehn persönliche Songs. Eine Abkehr vom epischen Pop-Theater. Songs als Selbstzweck. Ein Soundtrack und ein Raum für dich, deine Gedanken, Perspektiven und Gefühle. Geprägt von den letzten zwei Jahren im Pop-Zirkus und im Privaten, den Enttäuschungen und Ängsten, immer kurz vor der Kapitulation und dabei langsam und stetig treibend zu den Versionen, die wir heute sind. Zusammengehalten von unserer Liebe zum Pop. Rauer. Direkter. Und wie wir selbst finden: noch mehr auf den Punkt als bei unseren bisherigen Veröffentlichungen.\"<\/p>","footer":"","classname":"calendar-event"},{"date":"2025-10-08","badge":true,"title":"dynamite konzerte & lls prsnt: LOW KEY ORCHESTRA (indie-pop\/folk) + tba.","body":"

low key orchestra. Mehr Understatement in einem Bandnamen geht nicht. Der wirklich unpassendste – und damit passendste – Name wurde da von So\u0308nke Torpus fu\u0308r etwas gefunden, das, ohne u\u0308bertreiben zu wollen, musikalisch wirklich Großartiges birgt.<\/p>\r\n

Aber erstmal kurz von vorne. low key orchestra ist das neue Bandprojekt des eben genannten. Allen Indie-Folk-Connaisseuren unter uns wird seine ehemalige Band Torpus & the Art Directors ein Begriff bzw. in guter Erinnerung sein und die Freude ins Gesicht geschrieben stehen, dass nun neue Musik vor der Tu\u0308r der Lieblingslieder steht.<\/p>\r\n

„maybe words“ hieß der erste von mehreren low key orchestra Songs, die dieses Jahr vero\u0308ffentlicht werden und es ist schlichtweg ein wundervolles Lied. So\u0308nke ist eine kleine Hymne fu\u0308r all jene gelungen, die eine ausgestreckte Hand oder ein offenes Ohr beno\u0308tigen. Als ha\u0308tte er sich gedacht: „Wenn ich nicht in deiner Na\u0308he sein kann, dann bekommst du immerhin einen Refrain, der mehr Trost spendet als 1000 Umarmungen.”<\/p>\r\n

Maybe words can help you \/ Maybe lines that care
I can sense your trouble \/ And I feel you there<\/p>\r\n

Aus jeder Zeile spricht aufrichtiges Mitgefu\u0308hl. Zusammen mit dem Produzenten Helgi Helgasson hat So\u0308nke es geschafft, einen unausweichbaren Text in warme und facettenreiche Musik zu u\u0308bersetzen. Soundtechnisch schwebt das low key orchestra – vor allem hierzulande - sehr eigensta\u0308ndig in einer Klang- und Gefu\u0308hlswelt, die von Bands wie Bright Eyes, Whitney und den Flaming Lips gepra\u0308gt wurde. Im Songwriting hingegen fnden sich Parallelen zu fru\u0308hen Alben von Coldplay oder Keane. So\u0308nke sagt u\u0308ber sich selbst, er habe die Musik fu\u0308r eine lange Zeit verloren. Zu unserem Glu\u0308ck hat er sie – oder vielleicht auch sie ihn – wiederentdeckt. Im Oktober geht das low key orchestra zum ersten Mal in voller Bandbesetzung auf Tour.<\/p>","footer":"","classname":"calendar-event"},{"date":"2025-10-18","badge":true,"title":"20 Jahre KOBITO (Rap aus Berlin) & friends + DJ Lenki Balboa (Dancehall\/UK Garage\/Breakbeats\/HipHop...) --> Soli f\u00fcr Seapunks + No Nation Truck","body":"
