• Mossaï Mossaï 

Making noise often means reproducing a certain number of stereotypes, testosterone-fueled and not always lavish in feelings. Renewing the forms, deconstructing the prerequisites are all requirements, at a time when rock is in full transformation. After a first EP in 2019, very assertive in a psychedelic aesthetic, Jean-Loup, Marie, Tanguy and Philémon, the four members of Mossaï Mossaï, took the time to give birth to this "Faces". Time to see the margins of their music expand, especially on stage where the group quickly made a name for itself with its performances. Like the Psychotic Monks, Slift or their neighbors from the Loire the Stuffed Foxes, leaders of a French rock scene in full effervescence, Mossaï Mossaï dive into the unknown to find something new, draw on the experiences of their ancestors to better inspect new spaces to conquer, to celebrate.

• Kenoma

Jazzcore crossover trio based in Berlin. Their music thrives on improvisation, moving fluidly between intricate compositions and spontaneous exploration, shaping dynamic and wide-ranging soundscapes.

Punk music you can dance to. That’s what you get from the genre-hopping, instrument-swapping members of Brooklyn’s Mary Shelley. Influences stretch across generations, sounds and styles; and always, the electric four-piece scraps rules in favor of creative impulse, ensuring each new song sounds nothing like their last.

»NIL's Debut settles somewhere between longing, ecstasy, and melancholy, while combining the bands various influences from shoegaze, postpunk and indie, into a charged wall of sound. On top of the driving drums, connecting with powerful yet melodic basslines, there are floating surfaces of reverb, which are broken up by crystal clear guitars and energetic, yet soulful vocals. And while all this is still settling in your ears, it already shatters...«

HERBST IN PEKING (dub-post-punk/bln) + TJ WHITE RABBIT (dub witch house/bln)

Tickets: https://vvk.link/3zqef00

Record Release: Herbst In Peking / Mond Rauch & Marijuana (Peking Rec)

Herbst in Peking, gegründet 1987 als wilde Mixtur aus Sixties-Psychedelic und Punk-Energie und im
System-Zusammenbruch mit »Bakschisch-Republik« Lieferanten einer Hymne zum historischen
Vorgang, sind seit vielen Jahren schon mit elektronischer Basis und Dub-Sounds unterwegs, mittels derer
die zudem von der Kult-Radioshow »Grenzpunkt Null« bekannte Dunkel-Stimme von Mastermind Rex
Joswig poetische Setzungen zelebriert. (Alexander Pehlemann, ZONIC)

Wenn Underground das ist, was unter der Oberfläche brodelt, dann sind Herbst in Peking eine Band aus
dem Untergrund. Ihre Musik speist sich aus den Tiefen des Unter-Bewußtseins. Im HIP-Sound
vermischen sich Rock, Electronic, Doom & Shanty zu einer zwingenden Melange. HIP schreiben eine
eigene dunkle Poesie & erweisen großen Stimmen aus Vergangenheit & Gegenwart Respekt.
(William Blake/Gottfried Benn/Fernando Pessoa/Charles Bukowski/Kai Pohl/Bert Papenfuß/ etc.)
Herbst in Peking ist 300%-iges THC ganz ohne Hanf, ist Poesie krass,
Musik grell und Stimme radikal. (Jens Pittasch, BLICKLICHT Juni 2016)

Die Geisterfahrer auf dem Highway der deutschen Populärmusik, die Pet Shop Boys aus der Stalinallee,
wie ein Fluß ohne Wiederkehr rauschen sie durch die Nacht auf dem Weg zum Grenzpunkt Null.
Vorgestellt wird das aktuelle H.I.P. Album Faust Am Meer (Moloko+/Peking Records), auf dem die
Band ihr Konzept von elektronisch hochgejazzter Rockmusik mit seitlichen Arabesken zu Ambient, Dub
& Shanty weiter ausgereizt hat. (

Alien Transistor Night at Schokoladen

If you were to receive signals from space—from distant stars and planets—with a broken portable radio, they might sound like the releases from the Alien Transistor label. Since its founding in 2003, the label has been searching for pop in places where no one else would expect to find it: in the shimmering psychedelic, sometimes jazzy sound of The Plastik Beatniks, the explosive music of o'summer vacation, cumbia-influenced dub reggae by The Alien Dub Orchestra, or the experimental electronica of Soft Violet (to name just a few).Many of the artists are connected in one way or another to the label's founders, brothers Markus and Micha Acher of The Notwist. The label releases music that fits Alien Transistor's open, genre-spanning concept—and that can even come from another galaxy.

Tonight, the label is happy to be at  Schokoladen with Saroos & SUN.

Saroos are firmly embedded in the cosmos of Alien Transistor: a trio that bridges instrumental hip-hop, ambient textures, and post-rock atmospheres. Sometimes playful, sometimes cerebral—always emotionally resonant. Their music manages to be both abstract and approachable, brainy yet effortlessly fluid. It’s the rare kind of sound that gets both hemispheres of the brain to nod in sync.

Florian Zimmer, Christoph Brandner, and Max Punktezahl—also known from bands like The Notwist, Driftmachine, and Lali Puna—released their sixth album, Turtle Roll, in June 2023 via Alien Transistor, The Notwist’s own label. This time, the focus was on collaboration: seven out of eleven tracks feature guest vocalists. While these voices will take a backseat in the live shows, their influence on the instrumentals remains palpable—subtle imprints that linger even when the lyrics are gone.

SUN (duo Version feat. Marcus Rom of Oh no Noh)

“I was primarily concerned with atmospheres, with moods that move me—and hopefully others as well,” says Berlin-based drummer and songwriter Andi Haberl, aka SUN, about his solo debut album “I Can See Our House From Here,” which was released in the summer of 2024 on Notwist's own label Alien Transistor. While Haberl relies on a wide variety of acoustic layers and samples to create the desired moods, the multi-instrumentalist roughly locates the result, which has matured over many years, between the poles of “ Gold Panda/Four Tet, Steve Reich, Krautrock, and film soundtracks.”

In fact, the Berlin-based musician spent a good 15 years refining his solo recordings to find exactly the frequencies and sounds that really move him. “I want to take people on a journey. And it's definitely a personal journey, because when my parents separated and sold the house I grew up in, I really felt like the ground was being pulled out from under my feet. That's why I dedicated the album title and the track of the same name to our old house – so I could keep it in my memory forever.”

At Schokoladen  SUN/Andi Haberl (drums/sampler) will bring the results of this long journey to the stage alongside with Markus Rom (Oh No Noh) on banjo and electronics(Oh No Noh). A long-time member of The Notwist and various other bands/projects (including Alien Ensemble, AMEO, jersey, Ditty, Bella Wakame), Andi Haberl has also collaborated with My Brightest Diamond, Owen Pallet, and Kurt Rosenwinkel. The new album “I Can See Our House From Here” is his first solo release as SUN.
