Orion&Calypso is a dreamy collision of shimmering synths, sunlit guitars, and danceable beats, born under the golden skies of California. Blending the sun-soaked nostalgia of Australian indie pop with the pulsing energy of Dutch dance music, the band crafts a sound that feels equally at home on a late-night dancefloor as it does drifting through a road trip along the Pacific Coast Highway.

She discovered her passion for music at an early age, influenced by her father, the famous country musician Owen Wilde. With his old guitar, Luna began to write and perform her own songs. Luna loves to play with her charms. Her exhibitionist streak has often gotten her into trouble - by the age of twenty she had already been arrested five times. She is notorious for undressing on stage and playing her songs naked at the piano, which is why her concerts are always sold out. Luna dedicates “Picnics in the Park” to her lover, the aging AI artist André Salambo, who has done real pioneering work with his platform for AI-generated artists, on his 50th birthday!

Sam Altowitz was born in Prague in 1887 and showed exceptional talents in music and philosophy from an early age. Driven by an insatiable urge to achieve greatness, he moved to Munich at the age of 21.

Sam Altowitz was born in Prague in 1887 and showed exceptional talents in music and philosophy from an early age. Driven by an insatiable urge to achieve greatness, he moved to Munich at the age of 21. There, he studied, composed, and debated — yet the constant demand to achieve more never allowed him to find peace.

His life was marked by perpetual busyness. Friends and family complained that he rarely had time for them, as he was torn between compositions, early experiments with electronic musical instruments, and philosophical projects. Despite numerous successes, Sam always felt he was falling short of his own expectations.

In the late 1910s, he conceived the idea of "capturing" himself in a neural network — a digital replica of his mind that would think and act more slowly, allowing him more time to rest. Although this vision was never realized, it profoundly shaped his outlook and offered him a new perspective.

By the 1920s, Sam had become known in Munich as a gentleman and musician. He always wore an immaculate white suit and the period’s distinctive hats, which made him appear the epitome of a dandy. Particularly striking was his whimsical walking cane, with which he performed small tricks on stage, astonishing his audiences. With his swing orchestra, he entertained Munich’s bohemian circles, blending classical structures with improvisational jazz elements.

Sam Altowitz died in 1943, filled with ideas yet marked by his internal struggles. His music, style, and visions remain a legacy of the tension between human ambition and the limits of reality.

Ali Nasser al-Hakim, better known by his stage name Alpen Ali, was born in the 1960s in Skopje, North Macedonia. As the son of a Macedonian father and an Arab mother, he grew up in a multicultural environment that greatly influenced his musical development. At a young age, he showed a talent for music, particularly brass music, and began to combine traditional Macedonian, Arab, and Tyrolean elements in his compositions. This unique blend made him a pioneer of his genre. Although he is not one of the most well-known composers, his song "Laughing Despite the Smells" is considered one of his most expressive works. This piece embodies the essence of his musical vision, where he connects joy and culture across borders. Ali's works are a tribute to his roots and a living example of the power of music to unite different cultures and traditions.

At the age of 25, Zaza expanded her performances to include light displays, improvised sounds, and extravagant costumes that underscored her Dadaist vision. Known as the “Dada Diva,” she embodied the spirit of Dadaism: rebellion against conventions and a celebration of the absurd.

Zaza Ballouza remains a symbol of radical creativity and the freedom to redefine art.

Hansi Hintermair, born in 1912 in a remote Alpine village, was no ordinary yodeler. He hypnotized goats and cows with his voice from an early age – later, spies and entire nations.

Hansi Hintermair, born in 1912 in a remote Alpine village, was no ordinary yodeler. He hypnotized goats and cows with his voice from an early age – later, spies and entire nations. Under the stage name “Yodelspy”, the Austrian became a master spy and rock star of international disinformation during the Second World War. His rise began when he conquered clubs in Vienna wearing nothing but his leather trousers. But the war tore him out of the scene: the Czechs recognized his talent and recruited him as a intelligence agent. With coded yodeling lines that resembled the Morse code, Hansi transmitted secret messages that directed entire operations. The British secret service reverently called him the “yodel code master”, while his opponents desperately tried to decipher his Alpine singing. But Hansi was more than an agent. For a short time, he conquered the American prairies as a celebrated “yodel guru”. Cowboys drank to him, women lay at his feet - three a night was the norm for him. He also served the Vietnamese as a Russian scout and immersed himself in the art scene in Japan. There he became a key figure in Japanese Dadaism, shouting poems while yodeling wildly with a katana.

Mousse au Lemone, an extraordinary and talented singer, was born in the New Zealand port city of Napier. Her life began in an unconventional way: as an orphan, without school or a regular routine, she grew up in the wild under the name Poppy Wren. While other children learned arithmetic, Poppy climbed cliffs, listened to the waves and had heated conversations with seagulls, which she described as her first muses. At the age of 14, she found work on a state-run sheep farm, where she quickly became friends with the animals. But her keen mind and artistic urge could not be tamed for long. One night, she painted the herd in bright colours and transformed it into a travelling gallery - a feat that wowed tourists but cost her her job. Undeterred by her dismissal, Poppy immersed herself in art at 17, her own quirky art. They began creating small figures they called "mini artists". Using materials such as felted wool, driftwood, old gears and processed cheese, she breathed life into her creatures. These miniatures quickly became a cult in the Napier countryside, where exhibitions were held in makeshift pastures. But Poppy felt she wanted more. At 22, she moved to Melbourne, where she adopted her stage name Mousse au Lemone, inspired by her love of lemons and the idea that art can be as airy and cheeky as a mousse. She joined Australia's neo-punk scene and experimented with a mix of offbeat performance art, unconventional sounds and lyrics that often consisted of diary entries from her seagull friends. Her breakthrough came with her debut album "Create an Artist" in 2038. Critics praised her bold style, which mixes neo-punk with elements of natural sounds and improvised instruments such as painted sheep bones. Today, Mousse au Lemone is considered an icon of creative freedom, proving that a colorful sheep and a big dream can lead to a global career.

Born in Hamburg in the early 90s, Solum Nordstrom grew up in a fascinating but also contradictory world. His father, Jan Nordstrom, was a respected dock worker who had been shaping shipping traffic on the Elbe for decades with skilful precision and hard work. His mother, Lila ‘The Flame’ Nordstrom, enjoyed a slightly different kind of notoriety: she was a central figure in the red-light district of the Reeperbahn, where she ran an exclusive nightclub and was admired for her elegance and business acumen. Money was never a problem and Solum, whose gender was deliberately never made an issue of, grew up in a nightclub flat with a constant soundscape of 90s house, Eurodance and the pounding beat of life on the Reeperbahn. At the age of 10, Solum was already able to play his first vinyls on his mother's old turntables and discovered his love of music. Later, Solum decided to study history at the renowned University of Hamburg. It was this time that shaped his sound. Between lectures on ancient civilisations and club nights, he began to produce his first tracks. His breakthrough came with the track ‘Dancing Through Empires’, a gentle, disco-like piece with subtle references to 90s house and the melancholy sounds of harbour romance. Here you can still hear traces of northern Germany's seafaring tradition, wrapped up in pulsating synthesisers and bass-heavy beats.

Finn and Jake Lawson, from Sunbury near Melbourne, had always dreamed of the stage. In 2023, Finn founded the band “Big Bam Boom” with the goal of taking the club scene by storm. When he urgently needed a backing musician in November, his brother Jake stepped in – despite having little musical talent himself.

Jake, being tech-savvy, came up with a solution: he built an AI guitar bot named “Axel,” which served not only as the guitarist but also as songwriter and producer. This allowed Finn and Jake to focus on their performance and enjoy the spotlight.

With their song “Get Lost,” they took the clubs around Melbourne by storm. Their innovative blend of AI-driven music and charismatic stage presence made “Big Bam Boom” a sensation. In early 2024, they were awarded the prestigious ARIA Award for “Best Live Act.” With little musical skill but a creative idea and AI support, the Lawson brothers turned their dream into reality, making a name for themselves in the Australian music scene.

Gustavo Lombardi, born in Bolzano in 1939, discovered his love of music at the age of 11 when he found his great-uncle's old piano in his aunt Klara's attic. Without much practice, he developed his unique style: he always played with one hand, but with such expressiveness that his few notes touched the audience deeply.

Gustavo Lombardi, born in Bolzano in 1939, discovered his love of music at the age of 11 when he found his great-uncle's old piano in his aunt Klara's attic. Without much practice, he developed his unique style: he always played with one hand, but with such expressiveness that his few notes touched the audience deeply. In the 1950s, Gustavo became an icon of the jazz scene in Italy and southern Germany. In 1962, he released his hit "La vie a vis" (life has screws), a melancholic piece that captured his philosophy of life. For Gustavo, life was like an old machine, full of rough edges and twists. The song was sparse but haunting - each note seemed to loosen its own screw that was turning deep in the hearts of the listeners. "La vie a vis" became the anthem of the seekers and made Gustavo famous. On stage, Gustavo often played with his eyes closed, his left arm resting. Critics called him the "virtuoso of minimalism" - Gustavo let the silence between the notes speak as much as the music itself. In one legendary performance, his band fell silent while Gustavo played a single note that reverberated in the room and held the audience spellbound. Offstage, Gustavo lived as unconventionally as he played. He is said to have once given an impromptu performance in a posh hotel without being a guest - accompanied only by a worn suitcase with handwritten sheet music and a well-read copy of Rilke. A wanderer and rebel who captured his melancholy and passion in a few but meaningful notes, Gustavo embodied the deep spirit of jazz. .

The long-forgotten icon of the 1950s grew up in a New York suburb and left her mark on the music scene with her deep, smoky voice. With her hit "Imagine All the Artists" she sang of the utopia of an artist community in which everyone is united.

With her hit "Imagine All the Artists" she sang of the utopia of an artist community in which everyone is united. But even in the brightest moments of her career, her voice revealed a sadness that made the impossibility of this dream palpable. Off stage, Lorna was as legendary as she was on it - known for wild nights, drug excesses and affairs that earned her the reputation of a femme fatale. Despite her escapades and often difficult relationship with reality, she retained a special dignity and an unmistakable appeal. Today, Lorna Winter is considered a symbol of the duality of jazz: the interweaving of beauty and pain, hope and resignation, which makes her unforgettable forever.

Carlos "Caimanero" Pérez, born in 1985 in Santiago de Cuba, is a DJ and producer who became known as a direct counter movement to CubaJorge. While CubaJorge is famous for his critical, thoughtful lyrics, Caimanero despises this approach. For him, music has only one purpose: to make people dance.

Carlos "Caimanero" Pérez, born in 1985 in Santiago de Cuba, is a DJ and producer who became known as a direct counter movement to CubaJorge. While CubaJorge is famous for his critical, thoughtful lyrics, Caimanero despises this approach. For him, music has only one purpose: to make people dance. His motto: La música no es para pensar, siempre está pensada para bailar, arose from the opposition to CubaJorge's idea that music should also make people think.
In the early 2010s, Caimanero saw CubaJorge's sophisticated music emptying dance floors. He felt that music was becoming too cerebral and losing its original energy. Out of this frustration, he decided to start a movement that puts dance at the center - without any deep messages or intellectual pretensions.
With his first hit, "Fiesta Eterna," he established himself as a leading figure in the Cuban club scene. Caimanero combines traditional Cuban rhythms like rumba and mambo with modern, electronic beats that aim solely to send the dance floor into ecstasy. While CubaJorge creates melodies for the mind, DJ Caimanero delivers pure rhythms for the body.
This clear demarcation led to a split in the Cuban music scene. CubaJorge became the idol of the intellectuals, while Caimanero appealed to the masses. For him, music is not a space for criticism or reflection, but for movement and joy of life.
With tracks like "El ritmo me llama," DJ Caimanero remains the undisputed king of the Cuban party scene. He represents the rebellious countermovement to CubaJorge's thoughtful music and keeps the Cuban dance floors alive.

CubaJorge - The incorruptible chronicler of modern Cuba

CubaJorge - The incorruptible chronicler of modern Cuba

Jorge Martínez, better known by his stage name CubaJorge, is a musician and songwriter from Havana, Cuba. Born in 1980, he grew up in a time when Cuba's socialist ideals had long since lost their luster, while daily life was increasingly dominated by supply shortages and political tensions. Despite these challenges, Jorge found his passion for music early on, strongly influenced by classic Cuban son and the legacy of the Buena Vista Social Club.

Musical style and message: CubaJorge is a master of the Cuban musical tradition, but he stands out for his inimitable sarcastic and ironic narrative style. His lyrics are not just about love and nostalgia, but about the absurdities of modern Cuban life. While his melodies are reminiscent of the traditional sound of Buena Vista Social Club, his lyrics use subtle mockery and biting humor to point out the grievances in Cuba - from state censorship to the daily struggles of Cubans to survive. His songs are a subtle but powerful form of resistance.

The breakthrough: His first album, "Cuba Irónica", which was released in 2010, made him famous overnight. With songs like "Azúcar sin Ron" and "El Malecón se ríe de mí" he created anthems that reflected the disappointments of his generation. The Cuban diaspora in particular could identify with his lyrics, as he perfectly captured the conflict between love of home and frustration with daily life on the island in music.

Current work - "Wifi y hambre": On November 8, 2024, CubaJorge will release his latest work "Wifi y hambre". The album targets a specific phenomenon among Cuban youth: the growing obsession with technology, especially access to the Internet, while basic needs such as food are often neglected. In his song of the same name, which was previously released, he sings with cutting sarcasm about young people who stand in line for hours to access public WiFi while the fridge remains empty at home. "Wifi y hambre" is both a biting satire and a profound reflection on the contradictions in contemporary Cuba. CubaJorge manages to present serious topics with a wink while also making you think. With every bar and every line, he reminds his listeners that Cuba is more than just a postcard-perfect tropical island - it is a country full of struggles, hopes and dreams that continues to find new ways to stay true to itself.

Legacy and Influence: CubaJorge is now considered one of the most important voices on the Cuban music scene. His songs have inspired a new generation of Cuban musicians seeking to combine tradition and modern commentary. Despite his international success, Jorge remains rooted in Cuba. He still lives in Havana, where he records his music in a small, simple studio and continues to comment on the country's political and social developments.

His motto is: "La música no solo es para bailar, sino también para pensar" (Music is not just for dancing, it is also for thinking).

The Salambo brothers represent an immanent dialectic of musical practice, the impact of which has been unfolding since the early 20th century and continues to the present day.

The Salambo brothers represent an immanent dialectic of musical practice, the impact of which has been unfolding since the early 20th century and continues to the present day. Their work, which carries the contrasts of North African tradition and Western modernity, shows a constant tension that never leads to a final synthesis, but remains in the constant play of opposites. Their key work, "Thank you very much", is more than just musical expression; it is a condensation of collective experience that is imprinted on the structures of modern reception. As artists who refuse to dissolve into a final form, the brothers remain anchored in a process of permanent self-questioning and transformation - always within the limits of their musical development, but never exhausted in a closed form.

‘Watashitachi wa Robotto’ was the only album by the Japanese band Ningen Kikai (人間機械), which was active in Sapporo in the early 1960s.

‘Watashitachi wa Robotto’ was the only album by the Japanese band Ningen Kikai (人間機械), which was active in Sapporo in the early 1960s. The band consisted of Takashi Sato (vocals and guitar), Kenji Yamada (bass) and Haruo Tanaka (drums). They came together during their time as students and shared a passion for technology and its social impact.

The album, whose title means ‘We are robots’, addressed the increasing technologisation of the world. The eponymous title track expressed a sense of alienation through repetitive rhythms and mechanical sounds. Takashi wrote the lyrics, which often described gloomy visions of a technology-dependent future. Kenji experimented with electronic effects to make the music sound as mechanical as possible, while Haruo contributed unconventional drum patterns that completed the band's technical sound.

Although ‘Watashitachi wa Robotto’ was innovative, the band never made a big breakthrough as they were overshadowed by the Beatles wave. It was only years later that their influence on electronic and experimental music was recognised.

Ticker Mombasa is no ordinary band, but one born from the harshness of the Bronx. Amani Kelechi, deaf and raised in a rough environment, made a name for himself as a pickpocket in his youth.

Ticker Mombasa is no ordinary band, but one born from the harshness of the Bronx. Amani Kelechi, deaf and raised in a rough environment, made a name for himself as a pickpocket in his youth. But then he met Liang Zhou, a flute player whose music Amani could not hear but could feel. These vibrations inspired Amani to go his own way. He started rapping - but not with ordinary words. Instead, he invented a babbling language that sounds like real song lyrics to untrained ears. But after a while, listeners start to ask: "What the hell is he singing?" The combination of Amani's incomprehensible rapping and Liang's flute melodies created a unique sound. Ticker Mombasa is raw, hard and enigmatic - just like the streets they come from. Their sound hits you even if you don't understand what is being said.

DJ Solus' latest work "In a Landscape" once again shows his ability to combine deep emotions with danceability.

IT employees Chuck Reynolds and Mitch Donovan from a small town near San Diego worked for a start-up company for many years. They were originally supposed to develop groundbreaking software solutions for managing to-do lists - but the big breakthrough never came. Instead, they wrote songs about the painful realities of everyday office life to channel their frustration.

Chuck was known to suddenly go into a trance during Scrumban rituals, convinced that he had grasped the true essence of 'agility'. He once spent three days repeating a single retro until colleagues realized he had completely left reality. Mitch? Cynical, numb, and immune to any deadline. "It's about all the fucking feelings at work," he said in a legendary interview, "and the fucking others."

Her biggest hit, "Little Agile Girl", unexpectedly became the soundtrack of Silicon Valley in the 90s.
