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.

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.

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.

Das habe ich mir mal von OX # 170 entliehen. Fand die Bescheibung sehr passend:

LOCAL SUPPORT 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.

LOCAL SUPPORT 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.

Müde: 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.

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.

Biala: Wer schießt auf Ralf Bialla und warum lässt Ralf Bialla auf sich schießen?
Who shoots Ralf Bialla and why does Ralf Bialla let himself be shot?

Aftershow DJ's: Reni:Tenz und Rudy Reefer (PunkRock, Alternativ, Indie)

Beehoover is a diy progressive sludge rock duo from Esslingen, Germany and is Ingmar - Bass and vocals Claus - Drums.
Das Zwei-Mann-Riff-Ungetllerriffs durch eine wilde Landschaft aus Stoner, Doom, Sludge und Metal. Oft vertrackt, verfrickelt und avantgardistisch, aber nur um im richtigen Moment wieder brutal groovig auf den Punkt zu kommen.

With the third album "Portal" (Fuzzmatazz, December 2016) Pyrior completes its own epic trilogy. Now the
sound moves from space rock to posttrock, from heavy to psychedellic, from major to minor and
everything in between. Pyrior is just came home.
In their bandhistory Pyrior play with bands like Colour Haze, My sleeping Karma, YawningMan, The Atomic
Bitchwax, RotoR or The Machine. Pyrior stands for characteristic Stonerrock, with propelling grooves and a
good amount of tripping spacesound.

Originally from the sunny town of Whakatū Nelson, Aotearoa New Zealand, these days JOE GHATT resides in Tāmaki 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.

MAIORANO: Italo-Berliners been in the scene for a few years exploring every side of rock and roll . Everything comes together in the new album “Luna Nova” like Italian songwriters from the 70’, dream pop and synth sound.

The band played everywhere from the dirtiest of dives to the grandest of halls and wherever they play, the loud saxophone,catchy melodies, and the bacchanal frenzy of their performance stays with those who were there.

DEAFDEAFDEAF (UK)

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.

Calgolla (DE)

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.

 

Skassapunka gründete sich Ende 2008 in Lainate in der Nähe von Mailand. Die Band wurde schnell für ihre starken antifaschistischen und antirassistischen Aussagen bekannt. 2013 veröffentlichte sie ihr erstes Album "Di Vento in Vento". 2014 unterschrieben sie bei dem Independent-Label Kob Records. 2015 entstand das zweite Album "Il Gioco del Silenzio" unter Mitwirkung von Enrico von Los Fastidios und Dema von Talco, gefolgt von einer ersten Europa-Tour. 2016 folgten die Single "We Want to Dance to Ska" und eine weitere Tour. 2017 wurden die Single "Bella Ciao" und das dritte Album "Rudes Against" veröffentlicht, und bei einer erneute Europa-Tour spielte Skassapunka zusammen mit Bands wie Bad Manners, The Prosecution und The Flatliners. 2018 feierte die Band ihr zehnjähriges Jubiläum mit der neuen EP "Adelante" und der dazugehörigen "Adelante-Tour". 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". Bei letzterem Release war als Gast die italienische Combat-Folk-Band Modena City Ramblers am Start. Im Dezember des selben Jahres veröffentlichte Skassapunka "Dopolavoro", einen Two-Tone-Ska-Song von dem neuesten Album "Al di là del Vostro Cielo", das seinerseits am 23. Juni 2023 herauskam.

Mit Jamaican Jazz und handfesten Reggae-Grooves bringen  Wood In Di Fire bei ihren Live-Sessions die Dancehall zum Toben. Was  als Jam-Projekt von Musikern aus verschiedenen Berliner Bands begann, hat sich zur festen Formation entwickelt. Doch  der Session-Gedanke ist  immer noch lebendig: Die Bandmitglieder und Gäste bringen die verschiedensten Einflüsse aus Reggae, Jazz, Ska, Latin und Afro-Beat mit und sorgen damit immer wieder für überraschende Kicks. 
Auf zahlreichen Touren durch Deutschland, Österreich, Frankreich, Spanien, Ungarn und der Schweiz begeisterten Wood In Di Fire ihr Publikum mit ihrer außergewöhnlichen, interkontinentalen, musikalischen Fusion auf treibenden Reggae Beats und Jazzy Grooves.
Seit das Projekt im Jahre 2000 startete, spielt Wood In Di Fire traditionell im Berliner „Schokoladen“. Der bis heute monatlich stattfindende Reggae-Jam wurde schnell vom Geheimtipp zum etablierten Termin der Berliner Reggae-Szene.

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.
