I feel part of the sea that washes up the songs that I like to listen to myself. On the wall above my stove, Dylan, Cohen and Co look spellbound on cardboard at my kitchen table, where I write songs like these twelve. And sometimes they look like this and sometimes they look like this. Like me. This is my niche and this is my protocol.

Outstanding, versatile pop arrangements, sung contemplatively and angelically. This is how the new Christmas CD "Christmas Lights" by the Dresden a cappella women's band medlz sounds. You can hear Christmas carols from Ireland to France like "Christmas in Killarney" and "Minuit, Chrétiens", from soul to pop like "Go tell it on the mountain" and "The Christmas Song" and from folk songs like "What should that mean?" to the band's own composition "Are we still grateful". 3 multi-faceted sopranos and a comfortably warm alto manage to bring us a little closer to Christmas with this new CD.

With Peter Autschbach and Ralf Illenberger, two masters of their trade have found each other, who approach music intuitively, spontaneously and harmoniously. The listener has the impression of a single, large, multi-stringed guitar, where it seems irrelevant which of the two is playing what. After the successful albums "No Boundaries" (2012) and "One Mind" (2014), the two guitarists will present their new album "Zero Gravity" in autumn 2017. The two communicated the ideas for the new plant across the pond, as Autschbach lives in Germany and Illenberger in Arizona. The eight brand new pieces, recorded in Peter's living room studio in September 2017, show how intensive and fruitful the collaboration between the two guitarists involved is.
Both compositionally and tonally, the music on "Zero Gravity" shows even more clearly than on the previous albums the independent duo handwriting that distinguishes Peter Autschbach and Ralf Illenberger. Here the most diverse guitar types (12-string, octave guitar, baritone guitar and six-string western guitar) sound in perfect harmony with each other. Peter Autschbach and Ralf Illenberger impressively show how intense and exciting a musical dialogue between two equal partners can be.
"They don't play pop, even if their melodies are easy on the ears. They don't play jazz, although much of their music is improvised. They don't play the blues, although their music has depth and soul. And they don't play folk, even if the basis of what they do is firmly rooted in tradition. What the guitar duo Autschbach and Illenberger play sounds like completely original music, despite all the outside inspiration and experience they have gathered. As robust as it is sensitive; virtuoso without falling into the craze for speed; contemporary, but at the same time timeless. Your game has something of the breath of large and wide landscapes.

The Berlin singer-songwriter Sebastian Block has been uniting the inner turmoil of the capital in his small musical works of art for almost twelve years. In poetic verses, written to catchy melodies between danceable pop and cozy acoustic sets, he moves unerringly through the bars and streets of this diverse city. With a loving look at the details and little things, the unsaid and easily overheard like a loudspeaker for the outrageous - Berlin's secret establishment. Beyond cold calculation and capitalist competition, Block's music whispers directly and honestly to the soul.
The ten new tracks are not lacking in the usual playfulness and melody that makes up Sebastian Block's work. His third album reveals a new block with a fresh perspective and new textual and musical depth. The harmonic arrangements move between synthesizer pop and classic Wurlitzer sound, upbeat and ballad, floating lightness and melancholy. From the danceable "Why don't you call me?" to spacey-spherical sounds in "Mein Wille", a weightless flight through space, to "Evelyn" with probably the most likeable beatbox in the world. Sung, breathed, panted and hissed in a duet with tomcat Gomez. The joy of working with his producer Oded K.dar can be clearly heard in the pieces and inevitably carries you away.

Mai Horlemann's chansons tell of the great adventures of everyday life, of the most secret wishes, of longings, and of dreams that have long since been buried. Finally alone? Is this a nightmare or the big draw? Humorous and at the same time revealing, the songs tell of how we always want to reinvent ourselves, always on the search for our true selves, stainless happiness. The singer and her lyrical "I" report on failure and getting up, on going on and on weak hours. These chansons are unsentimental consolation for sore souls and highly effective medicine for tired everyday acrobats. Prescription-free and almost free.
The arrangements by the composer and pianist Frank Helfrich begin a lively dialogue with Mai Horlemann's multicolored voice and her poetic texts. Under his direction, a small orchestra, from the sousaphone to the bassoon, from the piano to the cello, conjures up a wide range of emotions and moods: melancholic, boyish, cheerful and saddened to death, cheeky and heavenly deep. Without crowdfunding this project would not have come about. What is the crowd? First of all, it was the guests of the program "Finally Alone", who enthusiastically called for encores. This CD is the encore that would not have been possible without the many supporters. What does that tell us? If you dare to dream, you will find people who reward this courage because they are dreaming themselves. You and me: This is the crowd. Our thanks go to you and a deep deep bow!

The new album by the Italo-German-Spanish collective, recorded with over 20 musicians from all over Europe, is as colorful and different as the line-up of the band. The genre spectrum ranges from chanson to tango to alpine songwriters, without losing a certain folk core. Lorca is the title of the sixth album by songwriter Daniel del Valle & Co. and includes 14 songs in five languages ​​and four dialects that tell of journeys through the Andes, of people, cities and roads, of migration and Lake Garda.
The album is not only linguistically but also musically an adventure full of coloring from different cultures and styles. In the indie folk of the European collective on Lorca we find nuances of Argentine tango, Andalusian flamenco, Franco-Belgian chansons, Viennese waltzes mixed with reggae rhythms, Italian hip hop and Austro-Bavarian songwriter tradition. And yet all these colourful, so diverse-looking mosaics fit together harmoniously like the leaves of a tree in autumn when they cover the ground with their colorful dress. For example, a song starts like the score for Amélie, with an accordion and harmonium, followed by a violin, then a cello; More and more instruments are pouring in until all of a sudden and unexpectedly the waves calm down and the storm dies down and everything falls silent before the strings of a Spanish guitar strike up “Hacia Marte” energetically with Iberian temperament! Ole!
But the first real surprise comes when trombone, saxophone and trumpet enter in a reggae rhythm in "Rue du Bourg", to which cello, violin, bowed double bass and clarinet respond in waltz time. Here at the latest you get the feeling of hearing and experiencing something unique. For three years the band worked together with a total of 20 musicians from all over Europe. There was also an Icelandic singer, a flamenco gypsy from Jerez de la Frontera and a rapper from Milan. The choice of language and dialect reflects the roots and identity of the individual band members: in addition to Spanish, Italian, German, French and English, Catalan, Bavarian, Venetian and Andalusian also appear. The album was mixed by Calexico sound engineer Craig Schumacher in Arizona and then at the renowned JJ. Mastered by Golden Studios in California.

Time is relative. It can fly by. Or stand still. With his snapshots of happiness, but also time travel to his own roots, Stefan Waldow manages to create a very personal space-time vacuum with his debut album "Ewiger Moment". Timeless pop songs, lasting confessions and again and again the music as a slow motion of the present and a medium to capture situations and feelings, conglomerate into a work that has something to oppose the real principle of transience: the life and experience of music as an eternal moment.
The songwriter and his band manage to mix pop, jazz and chanson styles with subtlety and enthusiasm. In addition to Stefan's warm, honest voice, which lacks any vocal calculations, and his accurate lyrics, it is above all the songs themselves that act as storytellers with attention to detail, careful arrangements and strong melodies that give the listener a feeling of unusual familiarity and tonal sustainability.
The palette of songs was recorded entirely by the three-piece ensemble and ranges from yearning accordion sounds from the Hamburg Elbe beach (“Ebbe und Flut”), folky Dulcinet and tin whistle sounds with the declaration of love to the old hiking boots (“Unicornwall”) to vibraphone Swing with nostalgic easy-listening flair (“My invisible friend”) to intentionally pathetic Viking choirs (“The eighth Dane in me”) and percussive salsa rhythms (“The wind sends me your songs”), always carried by the contra and fretless bass playing of Stefan's bassist - and old school friend - Christian Glauß and the sensitive, multifaceted drums of Kai Ortmann, who was also at work here as a producer.
Stefan Waldow's songwriting combines lightness and depth, connecting catchy motifs with surprising rough edges. The result is an album worth listening to, pausing and at best, if only for a moment, staying in the eternal moment.

Marian Kleebaum, pianist, guitarist and singer, writes his songs and his sometimes unusual, lyrical, almost surreal texts himself. He mostly sings in German, but occasionally also in English or Hungarian. His rhythmic and jazzy, but also calm and melancholic songs appeal to almost every age. His music encourages you to dance, but also to dream and think.

The 29-year-old singer/songwriter from Osnabrück released his debut album "The Dragonfly". The music can best be described as acoustic rock accompanied by an authentic voice. Marius Freese grew up in the country and grew up with his father's record collection from the important decades of rock music.
The music is correspondingly straightforward, sometimes catchy and sometimes intentionally different. The songs on the album tell stories from life, from the past and the future, from getting lost in everyday life to being rooted in home and nature. With the 13 titles contained on the debut album, it should be reminded in an experimental way that life always has a turn in store for you. A fresh and raw sound that can sound surprisingly different and also fits a bit into today's social life.
With a lot of love for music from different genres and the associated feeling of freedom, this album wants to remind you that life is a journey that we are on together, despite social origins and social backgrounds.

In March 2017, Peter Autschbach wrote the piece as a composition commissioned by the industrial union IG Bergbau, Chemie, Energie (IG BCE). Its chairman Michael Vassiliadis, participant in one of Autschbach's Tuscany workshops, was enthusiastic and gave the composer and lyricist the additional tasks of arranging the song for a large cast, producing a CD and hiring the musicians for two live performances as part of the select congress.
??Peter Autschbach chose his band Terminal A with Marco Bussi on drums, Nico Deppisch on bass and Klaus Tenner on piano, the singers Samira Saygili and Sabine Kühlich, the vocal power of the Ruhrkohle-Chor from Herten and the children's choir Krupp-Kids from Duisburg. Classical string quartet (Marta Danilkovich Vl, Vladimir Bodunov Vl, Stefan Balazsovics Vla and Victor Plumettaz cello) and Ralph Herrnkind's acoustic guitar completed the ensemble. Autschbach himself played the electric guitar and insisted on conducting the orchestra.
On 8.10. the world premiere took place in Hanover at the IG BCE Congress. It was a great experience for everyone involved. Beforehand, all participants were forbidden to talk about it, because the song production should be a surprise for all delegates. The 1200 congress participants expressed their thanks with standing ovations, the stormy applause didn't end there.

After the romantic fairy tale hour "Fairytale" it's time for the Dry Dudes to reflect on the small, not necessarily less romantic moments of everyday life. With their debut follow-up, "Memories", the Dry Dudes from Emsland open a photo album full of memories.
Some are already a bit faded, the colors blurry. Others are still very present. You can almost feel them again, the kisses on your cheeks, touching fingertips, taste the chewing gum that you had in your mouth at the time. Or you feel the pang in your heart, the disappointment and longing, as if it were just yesterday. Or was it all just a dream after all?
On "Memories" the dry dudes Erwin Holm and Patrick Schütte tell twelve new stories between love, longing, passion and nostalgia in twelve dreamy songs. Stories that life writes and that each of us has probably experienced at least once – just not as beautifully and multifacetedly packaged as on “Memories”.
On their second album, too, the Dry Dudes swear by their very own interpretation of pop rock with singer/songwriter appeal, which at the same time contains a lot of musical accents from a wide variety of genres between acoustic pop and R&B.
The Dry Dudes met at a music competition in the summer of 2015. After brief excursions into the cover world with songs by Michael Jackson and Ed Sheeran, the young people from Emsland were certain: we don't want to sound like everyone else. Since then they have been delighting their fans all over Germany with their soulful, handmade music.

Melodic, loud and sometimes very quiet. Time to celebrate, moments to think. And always clear, rocking and melodic. That's how our album "Das Eine" is. From a musical cast and yet diverse like the stories it tells. Thoughts - taken from real life - that won't let you go.
Five of the nine songs deal with the most problematic side of human relationships. A sudden end to love (“Scream”), obsessive desire (“Desire for power”), psychological problems as a touchstone (“Schatten”, “Herz aus Stein”) or the prime example of an unpleasant colleague (“Das Eine”) are leitmotifs the songs.
The energetic music with heavy guitar riffs and orchestral breadth supports the clear, powerful vocals. The piano ballad “The Best Friends” emphasizes the depth of the father-son relationship – and not just musically. But life doesn't just consist of reflections and so Loudstark invites his listeners to celebrate and sing along ("Let it rip", "At the same time").
Loudstark was founded in 2013 by Marc (vocals), Axel (keyboards) and Jannik (drums) as a 6-piece band. Melodic power rock with clear words was the goal. In 2015 Eddie took over the guitar and in 2017 Mirco took over the bass. On their way so far, the five from Kiel have earned a loyal fan base and shared the stage with bands such as Eisbrecher, JBO, Subway to Sally, In Extremo and Hämatom.

Born in Athens in 1974, drummer Christos Asonitis has been living and playing in Munich since 2012 after years of active presence in the Greek jazz scene. With "An Ode To The Light" he presents his own compositions and arrangements for the first time as a bandleader. Also part of the party: Bastien Rieser, a promising trumpeter, the Hungarian Mark Pusker with the warm and brilliant sound of his saxophone, the multi-creative Maruan Sakas on the piano and the coveted double bass player Lorenz Heigenhuber.
The listeners experience an electrifying symbiosis of modern jazz and elements inspired both by the composer's personal experiences and by historical and mythological events in his homeland. The spectrum ranges from lyrical-melodic moods with fine Greek folklore overtones, polyphonic sound patterns to rousing rhythms that form a virtuoso arc of tension.

"Christos Asonitis is a drummer who is as imaginative as he is unobtrusive, highly cultivated and alert, who elicits a wealth of nuances from the small set and does not slip into routine mechanics." (The New Listener, May 2016)

Alireza Afkari was born in Iran in 1977. He is one of the most important and influential musicologists since the Iranian revolution.
For years he has delved into the rich tradition of ancient Iranian literature and has worked with many great voices of Iranian singers to create enduring works across genres.
Faced with restrictions on releasing his work in Iran and the inflammation of international sanctions against Iran, he has now decided to release his album Roots internationally. In this work he refers to the principles and "roots" of Iranian music and presents different, colored directions of an international view of Iranian music.
Perhaps the most notable aspect of this album is that it was recorded with local Iranian musicians in Iran itself, while the mix and mastering took place in Germany. It can be expected that Alireza will enrich the international music community in a colorful and diverse way in the future.

Gentlemen.Music is a brand new project from the Rhine-Main area, in which the veterans of the Frankfurt music scene Harald Andres and Werner Littau have joined forces and will be bringing their first joint CD production to the market in late summer 2017.
Andres, former singer and composer of the rock formation Second Page, which caused a sensation in the Frankfurt area in the early 1980s with their long groove "Crawler", and Werner Littau, formerly keyboardist, composer and arranger of the Frankfurt rock band Octopus and in the heyday of the NDW Kartenmann at Hubert Kah, met rather by chance at a singer/songwriter slam in which Harald Andres took part. Werner Littau was so impressed by the soulful pieces by Andres, who now lives in the tranquil little Taunus village of Aarbergen-Daisbach, that the idea arose to embed the pieces, originally conceived for vocals and guitar, in Werner Littau's digital soundscapes.
Littau's arrangements now allow the songs, which were once performed acoustically, to appear in a big band sound, but without interpreting their character in a completely twisted way. Twelve pieces were created for the “Footprints” CD, which tell of love, suffering, recognition, diet frustration, or bad little girls and everything that goes with it. Werner Littau's big band sounds, including piano plus Harald Andres' acoustic guitar and his bluesy voice, create an unusual combination – also live – that is rarely found on the music market in this form. Gentlemen.Music – handmade meets high-tech.

The album has been recorded here and there, when the guys were in the mood between gigs and “everyday life when shits happens”. On this album you'll find Rhyhtm and Blues and Rock'n'Roll mixed up with a little bit of Calypso, Latin-American and Tex-Mex style, but IT IS NOT EASY TO DESCRIBE THE MUSIC AND THE BAND, ESPECIALLY IF IT MEANS MORE THAN THAT. HOW TO EXPLAIN THE WAY YOU THINK, DRINK, FUCK, AND LIVE? And does anybody take care of it?
Guess not. The only thing that really matters is on your turntable. The only thing that really matters is the fuckin' Rock'n'Roll. Lost in the electric mist you're looking for answers and you got none, BUT you can hear something from far away. Something you can't understand with the head but with your guts.

How much happiness can an album take anyway? – Singer/songwriter Christian Falk asked himself this question while he was working on his debut album “Color & Darkness”. The answer: Probably not too much, if it's not trivial or the next album by Max Giesinger. As an enthusiastic theatergoer, the native of Bremen loves dualism, the game between good and evil, happiness and misfortune, light and shadow. It is precisely these opposites that play a key role in “Color & Darkness”. “My music takes time. It's not for quick fun," says the 29-year-old. For more than a year, Christian Falk worked on his songs, on the perfect mixture of contrasts. On “Farbe & Dunkel” between ten pieces, colourful, life-affirming pop rock meets deep, painful melancholy and political commentary without compromise. Sometimes packed in concrete, sometimes in abstract songwriter pieces, which owe their perfect fine tuning on a musical level to Falk's cellist Friedemann Eich and the producer Tobi Schneider. As a true workhorse, Christian Falk plays up to 100 concerts of all sizes every year. But his secret favorite are appearances in private living rooms. These are now an integral part of his tour life and can be booked directly on his homepage. As in “Color & Darkness”, Christian Falk's life is also marked by dualisms. As a graduate industrial engineer, he could have lived the safe, middle-class life that looked sunny from the outside with a career in a large corporation. But in order not to slip into a hamster wheel, after a short excursion into the automotive industry, Christian Falk consciously decided against the corporate world and followed his heart: “Music is what makes me happy. I don't want to do anything else in my life.”

In 2008 the three musicians "Pappen" Geert Hermann Meyer (bass/voc), "Alex" Alexander Rosenhof (guitar/voc) and "Mike" Bosch (drums) met and discovered their common love for blues. When the first full-length performance is planned for 2009, only one name is missing. A CD with suggestions for the repertoire is labeled "BluesPAM". In 2011 Heino Sluet, on harmonica, completes the band!
Then on May 30th, 2014 the catastrophe! Drummer and founding member Mike Bosch dies, shortly after promising audio and video recordings, from the consequences of an infection he contracted during dental surgery! After the death of founding member Mike, it took almost two and a half years for the band to go to the studio in Münster in September 2016 to record "What Is Mojo" - all original compositions penned by Alex Rosenhof!
With Frank Boestfleisch (Richie Arndt & the Bluenatics, Greg's Bluesnight Band), the band has had a drummer since the middle of the year who has already grooved on many international blues stages. A fresh live band with experienced musicians who know their craft and know how to inspire the audience with a mixture of blues, rock, funk and soul!

Trio Rosenrot, the second. With the new CD release "Es Fell Ein Reif", the trio Rosenrot continues the concept of bringing German folk songs into the here and now.
The unusual interweaving of influences from world music, classical music and jazz creates disturbingly beautiful arrangements and expressive atmospheres that captivate the listener. You've never heard German folk tunes like this before. Touching music.

Sebastian Weisser and Nicolai Höhler from Berlin and Dresden-City make noise like a five-piece lo-fi garage band. Or like the soul of a speeding vintage moped. Unrelentingly loving, they tear at guitars and demand tempos from their percussion far beyond urban speed limits. A mash-up of new wave, blues and psychedelic accompanies their snotty screaming.
Screw it mentality? Not at all. The two shine with the playfulness of an undisguised naive gaze. Travel In Space is the appreciation of the moment. The fox who is afraid of the city lights and the desire to fly south with the migratory birds.
The band stands for self-determination, not having to go to school and against the "green and mean" influence of the police.
The guys have been playing together since 2010 and come from punk. On their tours from Berlin to Madrid, one thing in particular should never be missing: the many small parts of the percussion set given by fans and friends.

The EP How Does Love Feel manifesting the work of Ampax since their debut album Love Pain & Works. With "How does love feel" Ampax have finally arrived lyrically and musically after a long journey and take up the theme of longing, love and transience. Musically, Ampax stand for an otherwise never seen expression of electronic music, paired with progressive metal. Lyrically they have also developed further and found their place. On their new EP they present three new songs and four remixes. These were contributed by the synthpop band Alphamay and the EBM Legende Trilogy, among others. Even the opener "How does love feel" gets under your skin. The almost three and a half minute track begins both melodically and lyrically in a slow and calm manner, develops powerfully and hard, and then grows to orchestral size. Convince yourself of the new EP "How does love feel" and the new video for the song.

Physics, astronomy, numerology, philosophy, prehistoric mythology and literature - sciences that in one form or another have always run through the albums of the Crüxshadows. After the American electro rockers recently caused real dance floor eruptions with the euphorically celebrated pre-single "Helios" in scene circles, mastermind Rogue and his loyal troupe are now releasing their most well thought-out, most experimental and also most gripping work to date with "Astromythology"!

After their debut album "A ride on either side" comes the second coup. The protagonist and composer, Silvana Mehnert, seems to have arrived with her new CD "Songs, Poems & Stars" and found her very own musical signature and identity. An enchanting mixture of original compositions, poem settings and musical memories are woven into a coherent overall work, which does not require any great technical gimmicks and is bursting with handmade naturalness. Her multifaceted voice takes you on a journey into the past on "Every Fair" (Shakespeare Sonnet 18), dwells on the present on "Hold Me Tight" and offers hope for a brighter future on "Breathe In". But the second album does not close itself to serious and critical thoughts. Songs like "Ticket to the sky" and "Mein Fluss" also illuminate the darker sides of our time, but never without losing hope for the light at the end of the tunnel.

For Fady Maalouf, the passion for music, especially singing, always came first. In his earliest childhood he sang in the church choir and as a young adult decided to study classical singing. Music helped him express his emotions and creativity.
Fady made his musical TV debut in 2008 on the DSDS TV format and, as a finalist, not only won over his fans but also the Sony Music Columbia record label, which signed him. Sony BMG produced the single "Blessed" in the summer of 2008, as well as an album of the same name. The single and the album each entered the German charts at number 2.
The album "City of Gold" followed in 2012 with a very organic sound. Two years ago, Fady returned to his passion, opera, and rediscovered his powerful countertenor voice under the professional guidance of his vocal coach Andreas Talarowski. Without neglecting his knowledge of pop, he has been training this pitch ever since, creating a bridge between two worlds and expanding the range of his voice.
This own path, his attachment to the Christian faith and the endeavor not to set any limits for himself, finally led Fady to "Indigo", his fourth CD, a mixture of classical sounds, pop and soft electro. This extraordinary project contains newly produced arias, as well as his own compositions with spiritual content, such as the French "Our Father" and the Arabic "Ave Maria". opens up to this music.
