Das Ende der Liebe

Active since: 2014

Das Ende der Liebe (DEDL) is an improvising quartet from Köln/Berlin: Andreas Völk (guitar, voice, live beats and sound processing), Laurenz Gemmer (Yamaha CP70, Ableton Live), Kenn Hartwig (bass, Nintendo Game Boy) and Thomas Sauerborn (drums, synthesizer). "Trip Music" is how the quartet describes itself, after one of their album titles. The four come from jazz and have turned their instruments into something of their own, with countless effects, preparations, live sampling and a drum kit built for this music.

A DEDL concert is one single continuous piece, usually between one and two hours: every piece comes into being in the moment, improvisation and hypnotic repetition carry each other, and the sound remains recognisable, psychedelic, sensual and wild, danceable as soon as the room wants it. They play in techno clubs and jazz clubs, at festivals and in off-spaces, on ships, in bunkers and planetariums, often with live visuals by Lucas Grey.

Agneya Chikte

Agneya Chikte is an award-winning Indo-Canadian percussionist and composer whose debut album AGNEYA (2026) blends South Asian rhythmic cycles with contemporary improvisation, cinematic textures, and global grooves. His music reflects his diasporic identity and belief in rhythm as a shared language, inviting audiences into a sound world that is groove-driven, meditative, and expansive.

Born and raised in Western India, Agneya grew up at the intersection of tradition and modernity. His mornings were steeped in the intricacies of Hindustani music and tabla compositions, while his evenings were soundtracked by early 2000s rock and hip-hop on MTV. This juxtaposition of ancient rhythmic systems and global pop culture became the foundation of his artistic perspective: rhythm not as a fixed category, but as an endlessly flexible, living force.

by Neil Duggan
February 28, 2026

Zuversicht is album number 15 from German trumpeter Nils Wülker. The album title probably needs explanation, though that proves difficult as the word combines numerous ideas that lack a direct English equivalent, making a clean translation impossible. The concept is close to experiencing hope so strongly that we trust in the future, despite all doubts.
