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. 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 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

"Energetic noise-rock that's not only highly entertaining but also incredibly danceable!" -Polytox.org

BÖ.SENBERG (ex César Palace) is the solo project of French drummer Vincent Redel (ex Electric Electric's member), currently also involved in the pharaonic band "La Colonie de Vacances".

BÖ.SENBERG blends minimalist music, cosmic drone, and pure rhythms, drawing influences from contemporary music to 90s house/techno and the experimental scene. 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.

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 (Doom/Post-Metal, Rostock) + PΞB (Industrialized Progcrustination, Berlin)
doors 19:00 - show 20:00

Tickets: soon

BAD LUCK RIDES ON WHEELS 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 (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.

Stinking Lizaveta (Instrumental DoomJazzMetal, Philadelphia) + Darsombra (trans-apocalyptic galaxy rock, Baltimore)
Tickets
doors 19:00 - show 20:00

Tickets: https://vvk.link/3r7q1ao

Stinking Lizaveta's instrumental post-rock draws as much on Sabbath as it does on Sonic Youth or Slint
By combining a stoner/doom metal edge with jazz, the precision and repetition of math rock, and the blasting assault of early , Stinking Lizaveta -- their name is derived from a Dostoevsky character in The Brothers Karamazov -- come on with a sound all their own.
https://stinkinglizavetaofficial.bandcamp.com



Darsombra 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.”

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.

Mit Jamaican Jazz und handfesten Reggae-Grooves bringen  Wood In Di Fire bei ihren Live-Sessions die Dancehall zum Toben.

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

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.

A Journey Through Sound: From Harare to Berlin

 

Mary Anibal, only 25 years old, is the new shooting star in Zimbabwe. After several years of experience as the backing singer of Jah Prayzah, Zimbabwe's most successful musician, including internationally, she started her solo career in 2023, where she won the Zimbabwe Grammy for best newcomer that same year.

Mary Anibal is not only a powerful vocalist, but also a gifted mbira player, breathing new life into one of Zimbabwe’s most iconic traditional instruments.
Rooted in Shona spiritual and musical heritage, the mbira is often called the "voice of the ancestors"—and in Mary’s hands, it becomes a tool for both healing and transformation. Her playing bridges generations, blending the trance-like, cyclical melodies of ancestral mbira music with contemporary Afro-fusion elements.

Mary uses the mbira not just as accompaniment, but as a central voice in her compositions, creating hypnotic soundscapes that speak directly to the soul. In doing so, she honors Zimbabwean tradition while fearlessly carving out a path of her own. Her unique combination of modern songwriting and deep respect for cultural heritage has made her a standout artist, both at home and on the global stage.

Mary, who also advocates for women's rights, has been celebrated in Zimbabwe ever since and has also been able to prove her talent on international stages, e.g. in Canada, Zanzibar or the Ivory Coast. After releasing her first album at the end of last year, she will come to Germany and Switzerland for a multi-week tour for the first time this summer.

Die erst 25jährige Mary Anibal ist der neue Shootingstar in Simbabwe. Nachdem sie mehrere Jahre Erfahrung als Begleitsängerin von Jah Prayzah, dem erfolgreichsten Musiker Simbabwes auch international gesammelt hat, startete sie 2023 ihre Solokarriere, wo sie noch im gleichen Jahr den Simbabwe-Grammy als beste Nachwuchskünstlerin gewonnen hat. Mary, die sich zudem für Frauenrechte einsetzt, wird seitdem in Simbabwe gefeiert und konnte ihr Talent auch auf internationalen Bühnen, z.B. in Kanada, Sansibar oder der Elfenbeinküste beweisen. Nachdem sie Ende letzten Jahres ihr erstes Album veröffentlicht hat, wird sie in diesem Sommer erstmals für eine mehrwöchige Tournee nach Deutschland und die Schweiz kommen.

Band Members for Berlin show: Mary Anibal (Vocals. Mbira, Maimbula), Stefan Franke (Mbira), Chamu Ifreeka (Mbira, backing Vocals), Markus Scheiermann (percussions):

Acht Eimer Hühnerherzen

sind ein halbakustisches Nylon-Saiten Trio mit den drei Musikstilen Powerviolence-Folk, Kakophonie und Bindungsangst. Wandergitarren-Punk mit Fuzz und Driver aus Kreuzberg (bei Berlin und Brandenburg).
Apocalypse Vega – Gesang, Gitarre, Driver
Herr Bottrop – Bass, Gesang, Fuzz
Bene Diktator – Drums, Gesang

Thomas Götz, seines Zeichens Trommler von den Beatsteaks und Marten Ebsen, bekannt als Gitarrist von Turbostaat, bilden diese Formation seit 2004. Nach einem gemeinsamen Konzert ihrer Bands lernten sie sich an einem De-zemberabend in Kiel kennen und entdeckten dabei nicht nur die geteilte Aversion gegen Jahresüber-gangsfeiern, sondern auch das Interesse an musikalischer Kooperation. NinaMarie sollte fortan das Wunschkind heissen, das aus dem Seitensprung der beiden Musiker entstand.
