Kaïa Kater
                                                                                  
Montreal-born Grenadian-Canadian Kaia Kater’s jazz-fueled voice and deft songcraft have garnered acclaim from NPR’s Tiny Desk, Rolling Stone and The Guardian. Through her artful banjo playing and lush songwriting, Kaïa draws on influences rooted in Quebec, the Caribbean, and Appalachia, all of which reflect the diversity of her background. Her new album, Strange Medicine, celebrates the power of women and oppressed people and shares meditations on her own life, earning her a 2025 JUNO Award and her second Polaris Prize nomination. The album finds Kater expanding her creative scope with cinematic arrangements, and working with guest artists such as Taj Mahal, Allison Russell and Aoife O’Donovan. Kaia is equally recognized for her film work, winning a Canadian Screen Award for ‚The Porter‘, and contributing to the film ‚My Dead Friend Zoe‘ as a songwriter and singer.

"...plaintive, mesmerizing...writes and performs with the skill of a folk-circuit veteran..." -Rolling Stone

"You want some authenticity in your folk music or bluegrass – I give you Kaia Kater." -No Depression

"A star in the making..."
-Folk Alley

With TK-745, Berlin-based multi-instrumentalist Adi Gelbart dives into a raw, guitar-driven sound world, full of psych-garage energy and synth weirdness. The album comes less than a year after his previous release, Liquids & Flesh, and features new works alongside pieces he has been performing live for 15 years, now recorded for the first time.

The title comes from the Grundig TK-745, a budget 1970s reel-to-reel tape machine Gelbart used for drums, drum machines, and other elements. Dutch consumer-grade plastic mics from the same era, along with basic tape effects, rounded out the DIY setup, leaving the sound dirty and beautiful.

The core of TK-745 is guitar-driven, with echoes of pre-Brian-Eno Devo, the raw psych energy of Thee Ohsees, and hints of Link Wray. Beyond the guitars, the album explores more overt textures, like on The Egg, which evokes Krzysztof Komeda’s soundtrack work, or the ending section of Crawl Into Your Cloud, where Gelbart multi-tracks an entire orchestra by himself.

This new entry in Gelbart’s catalog is different and yet unmistakably Gelbart — bold, unpredictable, and deliciously surreal.

 ------------------- 
duendita - Rooted in Queens, New York—specifically South Richmond Hill—duendita brings an expansive, genre-fluid sound shaped by Nuyorican heritage and an avant-garde approach to soul, jazz, and R&B. Flowing between tenderness and power, their music is both transcendent and grounded, deeply informed by practices of self-care, creative protection, and gratitude.

A strong desire to survive is more than a record—it’s a meditation on regeneration. Through rhythm and melody, duendita invites us not merely to endure, but to live fully, finding joy and presence in intentional, everyday acts. Writing and producing their own music, duendita exists as a living, collaborative project—created with family and friends across cities and mediums, constantly evolving in shape and form.

One of those cities is Berlin. Since 2019, duendita has spent extended time here—living, creating, and forming meaningful collaborations—becoming part of the city’s artistic fabric. It’s a true pleasure to welcome this singular force back to Schokoladen for an intimate evening of connection, growth, and deeply felt sound.

TUFF GUAC is Rafael Valles Hilario’s solo project. From Sixties bubblegum pop to sputtering garage rock ’n roll; Tuff Guac has you covered.

The live band has been shredding its way through Europe since the release of ‘Green and Handsome’ in 2020 and a third record is already on its way. First single ‘I Want It Too’ gives you a taste of what’s about to come.

A collection of catchy songs with a vintage feel and a cheeky smell. All instruments on the album were played and recorded by Rafael in his analog studio in Antwerp.

Tribe Friday ist eine Band aus Gitarre-spielenden Emo-Kids aus den Wäldern Schwedens, die den rauen Indie-Rock-Dancehall-Sound der frühen 2000er Jahre mit der post-pandemischen Party-Stimmung der Generation Z verbindet. Optimistische Songs über Selbstironie, Identitätskrise, Liebe und Tod sind geprägt von Sarkasmus, Witz und Charme.

„Wenn du in einer kleinen schwedischen Stadt jemand sein willst, hast du drei Möglichkeiten. Man kann Mannschaftssport betreiben – etwas, das ich nie ertragen konnte. Zweitens kann man Drogen nehmen – das macht eine Weile Spaß, ist aber nicht gerade ein langfristiger Plan. Und drittens kann man Musik machen. Das haben die coolen Kids gemacht. Also haben wir das auch gemacht.“ – Noah Deutschmann Tribe Friday bilden den Sound einer verzweifelten Kleinstadt ab, die den Hunger nach etwas Größerem besitzt. Die Band entstand als Projekt während der Schulzeit und entwickelte sich nach dem “Try & Error

Prinzip” und ständiger Neuerfindung zu einem der spannendsten Musik Exporte Schwedens. Von den Anfängen mit klirrenden Gitarren und selbstbewusstem Charisma bis hin zur introspektiven Schwere ihres neuesten Werks hat sich die Band konsequent weiterentwickelt, getragen vom melodischen Instinkt und dem Songwriting ihres Frontmanns Noah Deutschmann.

Tribe Friday sorgte mit ihren Debüt-EPs 2019 und 2020 für internationales Aufsehen, was zu weltweiten Tourneen und Auftritten in großen Fernseh- und Radiosendungen führte. Ihr zweites Album „Hemma“, das sich mit Traumata, den eigenen Wurzeln und Versöhnung befasst, wurde 2023 veröffentlicht und

international gefeiert, gefolgt von hochkarätigen Tourneen mit Acts wie Wheatus und Mother Mother. Nach Open Air Shows als special guest von Mando Diao, kehren Tribe Friday nun mit neuer Zielstrebigkeit und einer größeren Leidenschaft denn je auf die Bühnen zurück.

Pech beim Denken gehabt? Ha, wir hatten Glück: eine komplett veraltete Anzeige brachte durch Zufall Tijana am Schlagzeug und Henni an der Gitarre zusammen, Jana kam am Bass dazu und irgendwann fischten sie Nele hinter einer Bartheke auf, als sie Agnostic Front-Songs durch den Raum brüllte. Jana gab den Bass an Christoph weiter - wegen zu vieler Bands - bleibt aber assoziiertes Bandmitglied. Erstes Konzert Juni 2025.

Musikalisch bewegt sich Pech beim Denken zwischen Garage Punk, ein paar dreckigen Jazz-Post-Punk-Einflüssen und schrägen Harmonien – und immer mit Hardcore-Roots im Hinterkopf. Die Texte sind persönliche Reflexionen: Fail Forward, Circle (Pit) of Life, Trains & Beetroots!

BLUE CHESTERFIELD is a project started by singer, poet and multi-instrumentalist David Jirka from Czech Republic who has been later accompanied by several musicians who together created the same titled band. Their influence in more traditional genres like Country, Blues or Psychedelic Rock is a root stone for their sound, but Blue Chesterfield are not afraid to experiment with stuff like Shoegaze, Noise or even Jazz, together with its wild live performances creating a sonic experience that will be remembered.
