Flow Beatz

FLOW BEATZ is defining „Percussion-Duo“ in a new way. Florian Betz and Bodek Janke play their music as if life itself would speak to us through their hands. FLOW BEATZ is the newest Duo-project of the Pantam- and Marimbavirtuous Florian Betz. The Debut Album was recorded in the renowned Bauer Studios in Ludwigsburg. It is set to be released at the end of 2019.

 

There's no compositions - just the instant Moment. And by Betz and Janke this moment is captured with highest sensitivity and virtuosity. Rhythms and sounds flow up and down. Instruments and melodies come and go. A Trance, a Phantasy...

Florin Betz is a pioneer on the Pantam (aka Handpan) and a Marimba-viruous.

Bodek Janke is one of the most important drummers in the worldmusic cosmos. He is regurlarly on tour with the big names of the Szene. In Yo-Yo-Ma's Ensemble he inaugurated the „Elbphilharmonie“ in Hamburg.

OKO

Polyphonic Pop from Eastern Europe

 


The Berlin based trio OKO interprets Black Sea songs. Vocal polyphony and tradition confront modernity and global perspectives, questioning what brings us together and what tears us apart. The timeless ancestral call of three voices mash together with synths, violin, percussion, bass and electronic soundscapes. Each musician brings different elements panning music styles such as English freak folk, Georgian and Bulgarian choral music to progressive rock. Their recognisable sound emerges from years of soaking up the explosion of cultural and musical influences that are home to Berlin, the city in which they live and create.

Line-up

  • Petra Nachtmanova – vocal, bass, çiftelija, percussion
  • Moss Beynon Juckes – vocal, violin, percussion

Superrocket 3000

Modern-Azz

If you have never been to Planet Grindus then you should definitely see this concert. The „Superrocket 3000“ is on its mission to spread love, good vibes and good music throughout the universe and would like to take you on its journey into the vastness of space and time.

  The band is playing the compositions by Sven Ziebarth, which are not to be categorized by any particular musical genre but are rather a fusion of the most diverse styles of music.

Spiced up by a synthesized retro sound, in his songs he effortlessly blends jazz with modern popular music, latin rhythms, soul music and even some elements of classical music.

„Through my music I want to universally express feelings and abstract ideas I cannot put in words. I want to touch the heart as well as the mind of the listener.“

This concert is not meant to be for the "hardcore jazz fan" exclusively, but for everyone who is open to let themselves be taken on a journey to places where they might have never been before. It will definitely be epic.

Line-up

  • Sven Ziebarth – sax, electronics
  • Bernhard Luscheder – keys
  • Davide Invorvaia – keys
  • Richard Müller – e-bass
  • David Huber - drums
