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.

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.

With Jamaican jazz and driving reggae grooves, Wood In Di Fire set the dancehall ablaze at their live sessions. What began as a jam project by musicians from various Berlin bands has evolved into a permanent ensemble. But the session spirit remains: the band members and guests bring a diverse range of influences from reggae, jazz, ska, Latin, and Afrobeat, consistently delivering surprising and exciting moments.

Since the project started in 2000, Wood In Di Fire has traditionally played at the "Schokoladen" club in Berlin. The monthly reggae jam, which still takes place today, quickly went from being an insider tip to an established event in the Berlin reggae scene.

The shoegaze duo TELEPHONIST, consisting of producers and multi-instrumentalists Dennis Mielke and Oskar Middelhauve, got together in Dortmund in 2023. Telephonist wants to break new ground in the scene and is trying to fill a gap in the German music landscape by using German lyrics instead of English, unlike most shoegaze/alternative rock bands.

With their debut EP “Gegen die Wand” (Against the Wall), released on December 5 by the independent label Porcupine Records, together with a vinyl-release by Dreams Never End, the two devote themselves to a melancholic, dark sound that finds its inspiration in bands such as DIIV, Duster, Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, and Slowdive, combining these influences with German lyrics. The EP comprises five songs and deals with frustration with people, structures, and life in a city, which are the central themes of “Gegen die Wand.”

Jared Hart:
“It's been too long since I've felt a German summer and after a few years of touring through the cold, I thought now would be a good time to revisit. I'm not sure I could think of a better way to celebrate some new songs in what has become my second home. At least this time I won't have to worry about forgetting my coat. “

Seine Band "The Scandals" war europaweit als Support von The Gaslight Anthem unterwegs. Der talentierte, junge Mann aus New Jersey eröffnete außerdem die komplette Tour zur Solo Scheibe von Brian Fallon. Mittlerweile ist Jared Hart entweder solo oder mit seiner Band Mercy Union unterwegs. Auf dieser Tour spielt er seine Songs puristisch und direkt, nur mit seiner Gibson Akustikgitarre und seiner unfassbar voluminösen Stimme.

From there, Oli went on to perform across the UK with Alt-Rock band ‘The Eyres’ before starting his Solo Project. Oli has released a number of EPs, most notably his ‘Into The Dark’ EP which won ‘Best EP’ at the Staffordshire & Cheshire Music Awards in 2017.Oli’s Debut Album "Everything Is Impossible Until It Happens", was released on April 7th 2023.

ROLANDO BRUNO was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina. After spending three years in Spain, he returned home to fully pursue his unique musical vision. His current tropical music project began in 2005, while he was still a member of the garage-punk band Los Peyotes. While Los Peyotes followed a classic rock band format, Bruno’s approach to cumbia was born in solitude, using his computer—his "best friend"—to craft backing tracks, humorously dubbing it his “MIDI Orchestra.”

In 2015, Bruno expanded his sound by assembling a full band and reintroducing himself as Rolando Bruno y El Grupo Arévalo, a supergroup of underground musicians from Buenos Aires. The lineup features members of Les Mentettes, Alfonso El Pintor, Los Alamos, Los Peyotes and Pecera.

Cumbia Trash: A Unique Sound & AestheticTheir music is rooted in cumbia, but Bruno defines it as "cumbia trash"—a style that blends Peruvian chicha, '80s and '90s Argentine cumbia, psychedelic rock, Afro rhythms, and other global influences. This genre is not only about the sound but also about its distinctive vintage aesthetics and visuals, which characterize the band’s unique identity. Their live shows are an electrifying guarantee of tropical dance madness!

To date, they have released three albums:• Bailazo (2015)• El Mundo Está Cumbiando (2019)• Cosas Raras (2024)

Rolando Bruno has taken his cumbia trash sound worldwide, performing extensively throughout Argentina and neighboring countries. As a solo act, he has toured Europe regularly and has visited Japan three times. Meanwhile, with El Grupo Arévalo, he has completed one European tour, highlighted by a standout performance at the Lowlands Festival in the Netherlands.
