WAF80music is a music label run by Kai Niggemann (Köln, Germany) for all sorts of experimental electro-acoustic music. Artists include Resonator, Misa, Kai Niggemann and more. WAF80music is also the outlet for theater-soundtracks by Paradeiser Productions, a theater, performance, dance production company based in Köln/Münster, Germany. We also feature hundreds of Invite-only or Members-only releases on soundcloud, bandcamp and elsewhere. You can buy our music on iTunes or virtually anywhere you can download music.

The Notwist have always been pioneering their own sound, walking a trail of songs across genres toward something definitively new and distinctly them. Yet the German born band are never running ‘from’ their previous creations rather ‘toward’ the next, and in doing so have crafted a series of personal yet impeccable records that warmly thread together the far corners of independent music. Simply speaking, the Notwist make this careful and banging, private yet pop, post-everything music, for the movie going on inside you.
