Our second international songwriting camp just took place near Prague. With over 30 artists like Manana and Emma Drobna, and writers and producers from many different countries, we once again had a wonderful and productive time at the Po.spolu Resort. You'll get to hear the first results of the camp soon.

InSea are Thilo Schölpen from Düsseldorf and Stephen Oldfield from London. Together, they create a multifaceted sound where electronics permeate the acoustic material, melding metallic resonances and mechanical noises with inspired jazz piano to form a unique musical soundscape. InSea moves outside of conventional genre categories. Their soundscapes are reminiscent of abandoned industrial facilities as well as intimate improvisations - a sound between structure and chaos, mechanics and emotion.
GOODWIN, the solo project of The Slow Show singer Rob Goodwin was just released via PIAS Recordings. Goodwin is joined by Freibank's Lambert, the mysterious, masked pianist and composer known for his collaborations with artists such as Nils Frahm and Ólafur Arnalds.
'PEEKABOO' goes beyond the cinematic power of his band and delivers something more intimate and raw. A collection of deeply personal songs that were written in quiet moments and shaped with Lambert in Berlin-Neukölln. As producer, Lambert brings his signature style - both playful and profound - to ‘PEEKABOO’. He weaves haunting pianos and arrangements with Goodwin's intimate storytelling, allowing each song to breathe in its own quiet space. Together, they will also be touring ‘PEEKABOO’ in the fall.

There was Marlene Dietrich, Hildegard Knef, and Nico, the ice queen. And then there is Mona Mur, 'Germany's Queen of Postpunk'. Her dazzling career, which brought her together with En Esch (KMFDM), FM Einheit, Mark Chung, and Alexander Hacke (Einstürzende Neubauten), Nikko Weidemann (Babylon Berlin), Dieter Meier (Yello), and J.J. Burnel (The Stranglers), is now the subject of a documentary film by Grimme Award winner Dietmar Post and Lucía Palacios, who were also responsible for the sensational film 'Monks: The Transatlantic Feedback' about the proto-punk band The Monks.
The reactions have been overwhelmingly positive. Fan and Tocotronic bassist Jan Müller recommends the film with the words: "‘Mona Mur in Conversation’ recently won the audience award at the Unerhört! Music Film Festival. That's no surprise, because when you see it, this film has a fascinating pull when Mona Mur explains why things went the way they did for her, and why they often went wrong.“ Filmmaker Monika Treut adds: ”The film is so exciting because it is multi-layered: it's about Mona Mur as a fearless woman in the male-dominated music business, it's also a gallop through the recent history of pop music, and it shows Mona Mur's many faces as she continually develops her own style in an unconventional and creative way." Mur was also the driving force behind the successful return of Xmal Deutschland singer Anja Huwe to the music business.
“Mona Mur in Conversation” will soon be going on a cinema tour and can be seen in the following cities, with director Dietmar Post in attendance:
