WORLD PREMIERE! Giant Rooks and Solann are performing their brand-new song, 'The Waves.' Although the five-piece band from Hamm is set to embark on a major tour of North and South America later this year, Giant Rooks have decided to celebrate the big release of their new song at Jan Böhmermanns late nite show Magazin Royale on ZDF.
Musically, we hear far eastern influences, soul, hip hop, new wave, dub, and electronica on Max Turner's 'Seeds Of The Unknown' . Some listeners might be reminded of Joy Division when listening to these songs, others of Lou Reed or Shuggie Otis, but all of them can be heard in the space between these songs! Max Turner finds inspiration in ancient Zen teachings, 12th century persian poetry as much as a good Motown song.
The Guardian conducted a great interview with Blixa Bargeld, in which they discussed, among other things, their new band member Josefine Lukschy. You can read the full interview here! In addition, the Neubauten are back on the road:

Ambassade ventures into the world of Manrira - a dark, alluring feminine presence that confronts systems driven by value, profit, and power. Emerging from dystopian structures, Manrira exists in the liminal space where organic and digital forces collide, merge, and mutate. This new audiovisual work is devoted to the enchanting acoustics of the human voice and its relationship to bodies, architectures, and shifting environments.
At the heart of Manrira is the human voice - alive, breathing, and full of presence. It flows like a living instrument, shaping space and emotion. Manrira explores the voice as resonance, as body, and as spatial event.
Manrira moves from dynamic song compositions into extended structures, blending live bass, neo-classical elements, ethereal vocals, drum machines, breaks, and techno-driven textures. The result is an immersive experience that invites the audience to listen closely and reconsider their connection to sound, space, and their surroundings.
Lambert is a pianist, composer, and producer from Hamburg who lives in Berlin. He first made a name for himself in 2014 with his self-titled album, which caught the attention of the contemporary classical music world - primarily because it demonstrated that Lambert is far too versatile a talent to be pigeonholed as a “contemporary classical pianist.” In 2026, Lambert returns with his new album 'I Am Not Lambert'. It is his first album to feature prominent vocal contributions from other artists, and on the first single, 'Spirit,' he even sings himself. Released on the Hamburg-based cult label Clouds Hill.

The ‘Three Decades' album opens with a title intro, in which Mathias Kaden expresses gratitude to those closest to him before moving into his signature deep, emotive House sound. Tracks like ‘Keep Balance’ set the tone with sub-heavy bass and crisp, driving drums, occasionally punctuated by vocal snippets, while ‘I Got You’ features Cassy for a high-energy, soulful dancefloor moment. Reminiscent of Kaden’s work as Mathimidori, the dubbiness of ‘Getting Closer’ sets the stage for ‘Inner Signal’, which leans into wiggy electro territory, before the second record shifts gears with ‘Next Wave’ and ‘Shelter’, returning to pacey, piano-fuelled rave energy. ‘Viral’ follows with tough drums and excellent stab work, before the album closes on ‘Fyutr’, Kaden’s collaboration with Zoë Xenia,
