15 15

Band

Weaving between R&B, futuristic electronic explorations and blends of dancehall, 15 15 have created a distinct and singular sonic language that matches the uniqueness of their own rituals and mythologies. While performing the band kills with epic soundscapes taking cues from criss-crossing underground movements and shaped by their Tahitian heritage.

21 Downbeat

Live Act

Refreshingly natural, good-humoured and full of energy, the band 21 Downbeat, largely made up of artists from the RambaZamba Theatre in Berlin, invites you to let yourself drift in the crowd to soft punk and danceable electro beats and fly together across the earthly hemispheres into a world of weightlessness. The energy of the performing artists grabs you and won't let you go, with beaming faces and really cool sound.

Abarra

Band

Like a ferry Abarra swings between the shores of apparent opposites, transporting the most beautiful of both worlds: East and West, traditional and modern, acoustic and electronic, Arabic and German. The music offers a view into previously unexplored depths and lets you experience that below the surface of the water the earth is one connected whole. Let yourself dive deeply with traditional Arabic sounds, electronic dance music, Dabke, Oud, Saz, Raq, Saxophone, Clarinet, and so many more…

Adi Scoteque

Band

Adi Scotheque sounds like “shoo-bop deboop bop whoo!” and is the latest hyperactive persona crafted by singer and guitarist Adi Bronicki. Together with her trustworthy circus-like band, Adi Scotheque combines casio-core and synth-pop elements on a total freak-out 60’s girl-group foundation.

Adja

Band

Adja is Brussels-based creator, singer and performer. Besides being a musician, she is also a theater-maker, in the process of developing what she herself calls "Sophisticated Soul in a hybrid concert format": music takes center stage, with her live shows gradually taking on a theatrical character.

Aircraft

Band

Aircraft’s music was created with a drum machine, guitar, and vocal only. The lo-fi sound is combined with gentle vocals, sometimes reminiscent of early Depeche Mode, warm and brooding guitar motifs and the classic sound of drum machines and synthesizers of back days, echoe Cocteau Twins and A.R. Kane.

Ale Hop & Titi Bakorta

Band

A bold blend of pop experimentalism that merges danceable electronica with fiercely fragmented soukous. Their sound fuses the pulsating rhythms of reimagined Congolese music with hypnotic guitar riffs and buoyant electronics.

Anda Morts

Band

Anda Morts sounds like chain-smoking your thoughts on a rainy Tuesday night. Lo-fi punk with heart – raw, cracked, and painfully real. No big drama, just the quiet collapse between rent stress, ghosted texts, and that one dream you’re still not ready to give up on. It’s not about screaming louder. It’s about finally hearing yourself again. And maybe lighting one more cigarette while you’re at it.

Anika

Band

Henderson works as a poet, composer, musician, DJ, photographer, radio host, and filmmaker. Her music is a diverse mix, with room for post-punk and no wave as well as dub, avant-garde electronic, and krautrock; distant and hypothermic moods as well as frail sentimentality.

ĀO

Band

Arsenal Mikebe

Band

For this show ARSENAL has expanded their sonic artillery with extra pressure and Dub, featuring the ensemble's collaborator HHY aka Jonathan Uliel Saldanha joining the core trio on stage. While the percussion powerhouse typically performs as a three-piece ensemble, these special live appearances reveal the full vision of the project with HHY's production spectrum integrated into the live setting.

Band

Ask Carol, the alternative indie-rock duo from the remote Norwegian mountain community of Auma, defies their small size with a huge and powerful sound – featuring two guitars, drums, synth, and Carol's innovative bass and guitar system.

At the Fusion Festival they'll do a special mellow set, showcasing more of their gentler side.

Bam Bam's Boogie

Band

Dark soul/funk electronic band, mixing many genres into a unique style. Based in Berlin but coming from different countries.

BCUC

Band

„Music for the people, by the people and with the people“ is BCUC’s slogan. A frantic bass, fervent polyphony and feisty drums are their tools. With Philip Tabane & Malombo's jazz in their chests and the sweat of punk rock on their foreheads, they tell the story of Soweto’s past, present and future. And it resonates with everyone who has ancestors which is evident from BCUC’s rawkus, knock-out live happenings. We, the world citizens, are the ones who will change the world.

Besuch im Klärwerk

Band

Biensüre

Band

A psychedelic quest for joy, dance and unity BIENSÜRE is an Anatolian electro-disco group based in Marseille. It's also a story of friendship and encounters between people and Mediterranean cultures.

Big Special

Band

Bikini Beach

Band

Jesus, what a merry chain of sounds! Get ready for a sweet treat of snappy, fuzz-mutated riffs, snarky voices, grooves too cool to be old school and a sassy twanging saz. Surf a wave of anger and frustration as it washes away the pavement. Underneath, there's a beach where Rock Lobster joins hands with Astro-Men for a post-pandemic twist: Bikini Beach. In a world that's become a B-movie led by cartoonish villains, those punky garage-rockers soundtrack the struggle against avoidable doom.

BØL

Band

BØL says nothing, but speaks to the imagination through a burning sound, without words. A flow of multiple polyrhythms in dialogue with an instinctive energy, a kind of fury interwoven with suspended colors, where every second pursues the obsession of communion through trance and the letting go of dance.

Brimheim

Band

Buzz' Ayaz

Band

From the divided heart of Nicosia comes a bold new sound. Led by Antonis Antoniou (of Monsieur Doumani and Trio Tekke), this project channels a raw blend of Eastern Mediterranean psychedelia, blues, and fuzzed-out urban rock. Tribal-inspired drums and growling bass clarinet riffs lay down trance-like rhythms, pierced by sharp, surprising twists in the arrangements. Their music is steeped in folk traditions, yet reshaped into something strikingly modern – a sonic mosaic of synth textures, dub echoes, vintage psych organs, and microtonal melodies.

Caleb Kunle

Band

Drawing inspiration from the three places he calls home - Lagos (Nigeria), Laois (Ireland) & London (UK) - Caleb Kunle combines the power of storytelling akin to the folk traditions of Ireland and Nigeria with a big soulful sound that is bound to make you FEEL.

Chewy She

Band

CHEWY SHE is an electro-disco-punk band, blending glittery disco grooves with punk rock energy. Wild, immersive live shows that mix humor, absurdity, and feminist themes, their performances feel like a chaotic, campy fairytale where the audience is part of the action.

Cindy Pooch

Band

Cindy Pooch offers experimental songwriting. With an expressionist, minimalist aesthetic, nourished by polyphonic chants, the Franco-Cameroonian artist offers songs carried by her voice, oscillating between emotional intensity and melodic lightness. Imbued with a rare poetic quality, Cindy Pooch's lyrics tackle powerful themes, conveying doubts and questionings as much as musical certainties.

Cinthia Montaño

Band

Cynthia Montaño is an Afro-Colombian singer, songwriter, poet, cultural program manager, and social communicator whose work is deeply rooted in identity, tradition, and innovation. With over two decades of experience, she has established herself as a dynamic force in the fusion of urban and folkloric music, seamlessly blending rap, dancehall, reggae, rock, funk, Afrobeat, and salsa with the rich musical heritage of Colombia’s Pacific coast.

Coltaine

Band

Coltaine is the keyword to an adventure in sound. Formed in 2022 in the mystic atmosphere of the Black Forest, Germany, Coltaine transport their intuitive creations into unusually exciting and diverse microcosms of dark, atmo- spheric psychedelia whose feeling is that of foggy, post metal-tinged acid rock with the sombre hues of blackgaze.

Combo Aspik

Band

Combo Aspik is a seven-piece collective playing live like a finely tuned DJ set — flowing, rhythmic, and always in motion. Their sound drifts somewhere between boogie funk, disco, and warm modern textures. Combo Aspik feels like a phonky summer breeze to brighten up your day — full of rich synths, steady grooves, and playful twists. It’s music for open windows, carried by a rhythm section that knows exactly when to lean back.

Concentration

Band

Concentration are fury, filth, groove and punchlines. Australian–East German chaos with sharp minds and no filter. Free jazz flirts with R&B, electroclash slams into noise—raw, improvised, unhinged. Sexy, surreal, and gloriously confrontational. Their live set lands somewhere between exorcism and late-night TV. Confused? Good. Still standing? Even better.

Couch Slut

Band

This is a depraved style of noise rock that will scare the living shit out of you. With over ten years of pain and suffering under its proverbial belt, Couch Slut sounds more urgent, threatening, nasty, and despondent than ever.

DARSOMBRA

Band

Utilizing the sounds of dying stars, boiling planets and gas giants oozing into darkness beyond any imagination, the beauty of Darsombras imagination combines psychedelic, proggy stoner rock and performance art. A far-out trans-apocalyptic joyride of unearthly DIY-charm defying any reason.

Das Günther

Band

Techno, motorik beats and somewhat expressionistic-dadaistic lyrics adorned with rolling "r"s might give the impression of an almost cartoonish German band. But don't worry, it's not that serious and all in the spirit Punk, excess and spontaneous bursts of giddy absurdity. Being high on XTC on your own is weird sometimes, so come and join the frisky debauchery!

Dead Years

Band

DEAD YEARS play dark post-punk with a distinct 80s influence. In a dark world, DEAD YEARS' music offers a way out, forcing us through the aberrations of our thoughts and feelings. DEAD YEARS are a positive band for this very reason, touring tirelessly and regularly leaving behind happy faces.

Deathrite

Band

It’s a journey to the darkest and most vicious places of the mind and soul. Burning knives of black, death and noise punk that stabs you right in your ear canal. A fever dream that grabs you by the neck and sucks you right in, to question your whole existence. So drown yourself in this hallucinating trip, somewhere between ecstasy and psychosis and get lost in a “Flames Licking Fever”!!!

Decius

Band

A supergroup of sorts - Fat White Family’s Lias Saoudi, Trashmouth Records’ Luke & Liam May, & Quinn Whalley of Paranoid London & Warmduscher - Decius have travelled the earth liberating people from banality since the release of Decius Vol. I.

Deluxe

Band

Deluxe deliver high-performance art: six performers, one stage, no downtime. Soul kisses hip-hop, rock flirts with funk, with ballads, groovy beats, and playful melodies weaving through. Their music is a colorful cosmos that moves, surprises, and spreads good vibes. New show, new outfits, new album – what remains: ecstasy, euphoria, and a sound that hits and tickles.

Den Der Hale

Band

Den Der Hale is a band that thrives on the edges of sonic exploration, weaving post-rock, krautrock, and dark psychedelia into immersive soundscapes. Hailing from Sweden, their music builds on hypnotic grooves, layered textures, and an intense atmospheric depth that pulls listeners into an almost cinematic experience.

Die Anstalt

Band

Die Anstalt are riding the synth punk wave and would have been a hit in 1980s Berlin. But the fact that they don't sound a bit outdated and still make people's asses dance today is not least due to the spaghetti western and surf echoes that contrast beautifully with singer Carmen's cool voice.

Die Deutsche Post Punk

Band

die deutsche Post Punk is less a band, more a living organism — a collective of friends driven by instinct, not instruction. There’s no blueprint, no polished origin story. Just a shared hunger to make something raw, strange, and real. Their sound is carved from tension and texture: hypnotic rhythms, fractured melodies, and vocals that oscillate between detached chants and visceral outbursts. Music that doesn’t ask for your attention — it demands it.

Dirty Sound Magnet

Band

Dirty Sound Magnet Influenced as much by western psychedelia as by eastern mysticism, the power trio is bound to bring some fresh air to music lovers of the 21st century.

Ditty

Band

Dolphin Love

Band

Endless space, a quiet glow, then a guitar breaks the stillness—riding a wave of hip-hop rhythm and indie introspection. Dolphin Love builds sonic worlds that echo like half-remembered dreams: fragile, euphoric, and deeply human. Guitars and voices weave through themes of nostalgia, change, and blurred memories. Lo-fi at heart, yet widescreen in feel.

eat-girls

Band

eat-girls is a three-piece band shaping songs with quiet intensity, crafted in the close confines of their apartment. Their sound moves fluidly between pop, post-punk, minimal synth, kraut and dub — each track unfolding like a thought caught midstream, or the echo of a half-remembered dream. On stage, voices, bass, guitar, synths, electronics and found objects come together to reshape the recorded material into something raw, immediate and alive.

Es war Mord

Band

Guitars grind in E minor, the darkest chord in standard tuning, pulsing under lyrics that resist meaning as much as they suggest it. Words fall like debris — not poetry, not slogans, but impressions from a world where coherence has lost its shape. This isn’t punk nostalgia. It’s punk as refusal. As noise. As echo in the too-short basement, when there’s nothing left to win but the right not to play along.

Extraordinary Machine

Band

Extraordinary Machine took a wrong turn somewhere between jazz and pop and discovered some shortcuts right into the middle of the young German jazz scene along the way.  Despite an unmistakable penchant for big melodies, massive chordal pads and lush grooves, the compositions always leave enough room for improvisation and manage the balancing act between jazz and pop in a remarkably effortless way.

Faileri Failera

Band

FAILERI FAILERA are the new cool kids in the Monaco Weirdo Corner. Yesterday still a Corona SoundCloud phenomenon, today already Y2K Haindling reincarnation. Influencing, local politics, marital problems or just ordinary drinking and drug issues - there is hardly a contemporary topic that FF does not address. Brutally disturbing and heart-rending at the same time – welcome to the stage!

FaUSt

Band

Experimental nonsense or ingenious 3D jazz? FaUSt is a Krautrock band that has been reinventing the rules in the name of artistic uncompromisingness since the 70s. When the music industry said no, FaUSt showed that you can set a stage on fire. Multi-instrumentalists and rocking noise performers allow us to participate in possibilities that didn't exist before the live show. At the concert you can sit, stand or try out a completely new posture.

Future3

Band

Berlin trio Future3 crafts compositions that fuse nu-jazz, hip hop, and breakbeat into something entirely their own. Their music takes you on a journey: from busy intersections at sunset to ancient ruins or a cosmic voyage. Rooted in a love for the ethereal and elemental, their sound is also influenced by daily life in the structural, concrete city of Berlin. The result is a blend of these extremes.

Gebrochene Beine

Band

The disco ball has been shattered, its mosaic pieces are snafu scattered, the club music is fragmented and thrown back by the tiny mirrors like jazz, and whoever continues dancing now has broken legs. P.S.: The group wants you to remember that unless they are performing, thou art not listening!

Getdown Services

Band

Getdown Services make dance music for the disillusioned—groovy, sharp-edged, and weirdly uplifting. Somewhere between synth-pop, punk, and pissed-off poetry, they turn modern British life into a sweaty, sarcastic party. Live, it’s chaos with charm: two blokes, tight beats, and a knack for turning frustration into fun.

Ghetto Justice

Band

Ghetto Justice is a hardcore outfit which is ignoring the boundaries of their genre - musically but also in their lyrics. Be prepared for a energetic crowd, sweat and lots of beer.

GRÓA

Band

GRÓA’s music merges elements of post-punk, noise-rock, and touches of art-pop with absolute abandon, achieving an explosive yet magnificently arranged sound. Their live-shows are unique, they create a new world with the audience, filled with energy and emotions. GRÓA is heading on their fourth Europe tour this summer. They have prepared a huge live set for the tour filled with songs from their upcoming album. Prepare for a blast, while it lasts.

Gusano de Oído

Band

GUSANO DE OÍDO blends Latin American rhythms like cumbia with punk, funk, rap, reggae, and ska. This Berlin-based band delivers a rebellious, danceable sound that calls for togetherness—sometimes with a smooth groove, sometimes in a lively pogo. Their music turns any festival into a vibrant dance floor.

Gwen Dolyn

Band

Gwen Dolyn blends catchy indie-pop melodies with driving techno beats and a voice that hits straight to the heart. Known from the duo Tränen, her solo project reveals a remarkable range—from vulnerable emotion to powerful energy. With deeply personal lyrics, she creates an intense atmosphere that captivates the audience.

HANNELORE

Band

Hannelore plays spontaneous compositions that evolve from different music genres at the moment of playing, using the structures of metal and experimenting with them. Bossa nova rhythms emerge on the drums, which are contrasted by deep and hard guitar riffs or harmonies from the world of jazz that flow into metal staccatos. Catherine Lorent’s voice changes from a warm female pop alto voice to a rock voice, from jazz vocals to death metal growls. Tom Früchtl’s guitar declines the clichés of rock-metal and pop history.

heavenphetamine

Band

Their music is a fusion of intricate synthesizer loops, layered with responsive drumming, all intertwined with melodic Japanese lyrics. They are inspired by genres such as Kraut Rock, Experimental, Post Punk, Progressive Rock, Trip Hop and Acid House.

HHY & THE MACUMBAS

Band

HHY & The Macumbas are an enigmatic anomaly of psych sounds. Hypnotic minimal melodic cycles, percussive rhythms that warp time and space, and echoes that hurt out towards the outer edges of the mind are all to be heard in their sound.

How Yes No

Band

How Yes No is a post punk/art punk/wave power trio from Zagreb, Croatia. Their songs are short, funky, punky, chaotic and straight to the point. The band itself was formed during lockdown in 2020 but the band members are seasoned in the DIY/punk scene.

Hyphen

Band

Im Dunkeln

Band

A haze of 80s disco but still DIY punk that goes straight into your heart.

Infecticide

Band

Infecticide never ceases to heckle the French music scene at with brilliance and psychoactive fervour. Artists complete, the three dreadfuls invest all means that pass through their dirty hands to make their baby a nocturnal weapon of sadistic character, and the public finds itself on its knees in front of so much mastery in the art of screwing up.

INSTABIL

Band

Though you might not totally get the lyrics (Instabil sing in German), you'll get the idea for sure: This is angry, feminist Punk Rock fed up with puffed-up, self-absorbed dudes. They beat on both their guitars and drums fast, loud and rough, love beer and want you to pogo.

Ivo Dimchev

Band

Ivo's voice somehow always remains in a poetic borderland, a perfect balance of melodies and rhythms. The artist turns his voice into an inexhaustible resonating body, sometimes bluesy, sometimes romantic, sometimes melancholy, sometimes techno, but always powerful.

Jamila & the Other Heroes

Band

JAMILA & THE OTHER HEROES combines psychedelic desert rock with activist content. Jamila Al-Yousef, who named the band after her Palestinian grandmother, was born in Berlin on the day the Berlin Wall came down. Having absorbed the revolutionary energy from that time with her mother's milk and highly influenced by her Palestinian father’s life story, she composes songs with her musical Heroes from within the Palestinian diaspora that are all about liberation, empowerment and healing.

Jungle by Night

Band

These nine friends from Amsterdam use their musical upbringing, taste, backgrounds and unstoppable eagerness to produce a unique blend of musical styles. Mixing raw oriented Afrofunk with cutting edge Hip Hop-beats, spaced out rock tunes and elements of dub, Jungle by Night does not set any musical boundaries. Bring your dancing shoes, it's gonna get wild!

Kaput Krauts

Band

Loved and hated from Mülheim an der Ruhr to Melbourne Australia. Sometimes funny, never Funpunk, always against Deutschland.

Kara Delik

Band

Berlin’s Anatolian, post-punk, new-wave group explodes with dynamic, poly-rhythmic psych-grooves, live energy, and a galactic panache for otherworldly effects.

Karen y Los Remedios

Band

Karen y Los Remedios have been making music together for several years, experimenting with genres such as trip-hop, downtempo, and cumbia to express themselves creatively and emotionally.

Karla Kvlt

Band

Based on drone, doom, sludge, noise, and post-rock, the band creates monolithic and hypnotic tracks, recorded in strictly D.I.Y. manners. They manage to bring together seemingly incompatible styles like sludge doom and dream pop. Both concepts come together in KARLA KVLT in an amalgamation of brutal beauty.

Kasimir Effekt

Band

KASIMIR EFFEKT is a Hanover, Germany based band exploring the realms of electronic music. A microcosm of sound evolves from the hands of the three musicians. Layered technoid improvisations and fluctuating beats bloom and build, bursting into flower out of thevoid of silence. When performing live with double bass, drums and Fender Rhodes, the three musicians will present you handmade analogue sounds that could hardly be more danceable.

King Buffalo

Band

King Buffalo is a psychedelic trio in the classic format, whose expansive and thunderous music is a powerful concoction of heavy psych, blues, and stoner rock. Texturally rich and oozing with psychedelic goodness, yet honed and driving in the next blink of an eye. Their efforts coupled with their impressive live show, quickly gained them an international audience.

Kishi Bashi

Band

Kishi Bashi crafts lush sonic worlds from violin, voice, and loops—somewhere between chamber pop, sci-fi dreamscape, and heartfelt introspection. It’s music that shimmers and aches, weaving classical finesse with experimental edges and emotional depth. Stories of memory and imagination, told with strings and soul.

Krav Boca

Band

Krav Boca is an energetic DIY Punk Outfit and their live appearance will stay in you memory - promise. The colorful masked band is not just spitting bars but also fire and their own mixture of Punk, Metal and Hip Hop merges into a multifaceted, explosive spectacle.

Kröte

Band

KRÖTE is a german punkband, based in Leipzig. They sing about animals, philosophers in your wardrobe, shoplifting, shitty work and so on. THE SEKT TASTES BAD, BUT IT'S SEKT!

La Cafetera Roja - Full of Hope

Band

La Cafetera Roja, it’s a refusal to be labeled, neither rock, nor trip hop, neither reggae, nor chanson, neither jazz, nor latin. Their “mixture” was brewed by time, with a kind of “world sound” as a guest, and inventing their own language. Today, they are as Hip Hop, World as electro rock. Leaving Barcelona, their Spanish is changing, mixing with French, German and English, making their own Esperanto. Their sound is exuding the happiness to play together.

Laura Lee & the Jettes

Band

Laura Lee & the Jettes bring raw energy and sharp songwriting to the stage. The Berlin-based band mixes gritty guitars, melodic hooks, and fearless lyrics. Their upcoming album Tough Love Paradigm (out Sept 5) dives into modern love, motherhood, and resilience. Think indie rock with bite, heart, and serious replay value.

Léonie Pernet

Band

Léonie Pernet blurs lines—producer, composer, drummer, singer—crafting a world where electronic pop meets political poetry. Her sound moves from melancholic whispers to euphoric bursts, a voice demanding attention. With Poèmes Pulverisés, she fuses the personal and political, weaving emotional utopias between introspection and revolt. No easy answers here, just bold questions echoing from studio to street. Dive in and let her music challenge your mind and soul.

Les Sherley

Band

Les Shirley is a kick-ass all-female rock power trio formed in Montreal in 2019. Their musical style is redefining the genre connecting the dots between 90’s grunge, 2000’s punk rock culture and catchy pop tunes with influences ranging from Paramore to Céline Dion.

Lobsterbomb

Band

In a whirlwind of noise and colour, Lobsterbomb have been bringing raw and energetic performances since 2020. Mixing introverted and self-reflective lyrics with extroverted and loud sounds spanning indie to post-punk, Lobsterbomb are always ready to go.

Lucy Kruger & The Lost Boys

Band

Lucy Kruger & The Lost Boys, a Berlin-based art-pop and tender noise ensemble, have captivated audiences across Europe with their atmospheric and intense performances. Their music is both intimate and angular—droning and dream-like in moments, driving, direct, and on the edge of desperation in others. Caringly confrontational.

Machin Kaput

Band

The experimental improvisational music of maschin kaput oscillates freely between the broken, belling rhythms of a desolate steel-mill and the nearly indiscernible echo an under-oiled shopping cart bounces off the urban facades at night. A sonic therapy for the aesthetically tortured soul of the modern urban dweller.

Mamoré

Band

Which part is irony, which is sincere? Which part is anachronism, which is innovative? Or indeed: Why draw a line when you savour emotional release and the rollercoaster of the lovesick—and Mamoré play the ideal soundtrack. Hailing from Hardcore/Punk, as a duo they have touched upon drum machine driven Electropop, and have now grown into a bona fide Soft-but-different-Rock team of five. Memorable: the stylised staccato singing „we are diseased, we are frozen, we are scared of feeling nothing“.

Mark Ernestus‘ Ndagga Rhythm Force

Band

Where Dakar’s sabar drums meet Berlin’s dub minimalism: Ndagga Rhythm Force create a raw, hypnotic sound built on layered percussion, deep basslines, and the commanding voice of Mbene Diatta Seck. Rooted in Senegalese Mbalax but pushed far beyond, their music is rhythm-driven, physical, and impossible to stand still to. What began as a studio project now explodes on stage – urgent, intricate, and deeply alive.

Masha Qrella

Band

Me And My Two Horses

Band

Me And My Two Horses returns with And the people—ah, the people—, a new album of haunted lullabies and noise-drenched rituals. Sacred pop crashes into lo-fi folk, pierced by a voice that wavers between whisper and warning. Kristin Drechsler doesn't follow rules—she breaks them softly, beautifully. Soundtracks for solitude, rebirth, and the ghosts we carry.

Mind Games

Band

The trademark of the band Mind Games is an entertaining mix of well-known and lesser-known titles, often interpreted individually and in their own style. This repertoire is constantly being expanded with openness and a love of experimentation. The quartet of trombone, bass, guitar, drums, effects and analogue modular synthesizers creates a unique sound world - beat based psychoactive sound exploration manifests itself in a large-scale sonata form as a trip lasting several hours.

Model/Actriz

Band

Shrieking guitars, (gender swapped) siren vocals, blaring drums, and a bass drenching the raunchiest, darkest corner of the club: Model/Actriz infuse the freedom of queer expression with noise. Strut to the sound of collapsing buildings, lose yourself in the disarraying beauty of being yourself and alive.

Montezuma

Band

Montezuma draws inspiration from their experiences, nature, and worldwide influences. Their music is the result of the friendship and creativity of its members and is a vibrant blend of electronic beats with acoustic instruments and atmospheric sounds.

Morgen Teuer Töten

Band

80s synthpunk from Berlin that takes no prisoners. Simple structures, short, crisp smasher and slogan-like power machines that deal with everything you would expect from Berlin punk.

My Amp just Broke

Band

With drums, synths, guitar, and bass, my amp just broke reinterprets timeless electronic music themes and places them in an organic sonic context. Between meditative melodies and danceable techno, the four musicians create a soundscape characterized by ethereal pads, driving rhythms, and precise arcs of tension.

Nicht Der Rede Wert

Band

Niklas Paschburg

Band
