The band YELKA on the track "Diane"

"Diane" was originally intended as the title track of our fifth album and refers to the New York photographer Diane Arbus, who passed away in 1971. In 2024, we rediscovered her work through photo books and an exhibition in southern France. Her often unconventional portraits of people in 1960s New York felt like the perfect blueprint for our second America album after FOR. However, the album title eventually became YELKA … in a rose hat, inspired by a stunning drawing of one of her photos by Henrike Wissing.

Musically, we aimed to capture a kind of black-and-white moment, something that also deeply connects us to David Lynch. Diane and David form an intriguing pair in this context—both reflecting our fascination with the real, alternative America and the art of framing it."

The album "In A Rose Hat" by YELKA will be released on April, 11th 2025.

2nd Single: 
Berend Intelmann - All Gone
Cat.No.: Karaoke Kalk 138-S2
Barcode DL: 880918273204
Release Date: 02.05.2025

»All Gone« greets its audience with the couplet »In the long run / We’re all gone,« but sets this to soothing sounds that form a joyful counterpoint to the fatalism of the lyrics. As the second single and opener of Berend Intelmann’s solo debut album »Mother Nature,« the song masterfully sets the tone of a record built on contrasts—whether lyrically between life and death or musically between playful pop appeal and the rigour of classical music composition.

The album "Mother Nature" by Berend Intelmann will be released on May, 30th 2025.

Title: Gaze aus Staub
Cat.No.: KARAOKE KALK 139-S2

LC CODE: 10028

Release Date: 26.09.2025

»Gaze aus Staub« is the second single from Donna Regina’s new album »Lilac.« Like the first single »Nothing Heavy,« it highlights the Berlin indie pop duo’s ability to say a lot with very little: playful, almost psychedelic sounds form the foundation for Regina’s melancholic lyrics about what has been lost over time. Just like »Lilac,« it is serious but not quite sad.

Das "Lilac" by Donna Regina will be released on October 31, 2025.

»Nothing Heavy« is the first single from »Lilac,« the first Donna Regina album in six years. Bright guitar tones, floating synth sounds, shakers, and even strings indeed exude a certain lightness. But something broods under the surface. »I want to sing a happier song,« Regina gently proclaims. It is this ambivalence that also characterises »Lilac« as a whole.

The album "Lilac" by Donna Regina will be released on October 31, 2025.

Artist: Astrobal & Berend Intelmann
Title: Pink Noise

LC CODE: 10028

Release Date: 24.10.2025

Astrobal and Berend Intelmann have never met in person, but mutual respect for each other’s music and their upcoming joint concerts in Berlin and Cologne inspired them to create a collaborative track.

“Pink Noise” connects their sonic worlds through synthesizers and electronic drums — the shared language between their two musical approaches.
The song reflects on two places close to their hearts yet far apart geographically: Emma’s home in southern France and Berend’s in Berlin.

Earlier this year, Astrobal released his acclaimed album "L’uomo e la natura" in February, while Berend followed with his equally impressive album "Mother Nature" at the end of May. The two artists will perform together on 13.11.2025 at Panke – Berlin and 15.11.2025 at 674FM – Cologne.

Pink Noise

Astrobal & Berend Intelmann - Pink Noise

With "Daily Battles," US-American musician Marla Hansen, who lives in Berlin, kicks off her new cover project "Laugh Into the Leaves", a fully acoustic EP that places voice and strings at the forefront. Hansen interprets Thom Yorke’s song – originally released in 2019 as part of the soundtrack for Motherless Brooklyn – as a quiet, intimate meditation on the pressure to adapt in everyday life.

Artist: we didn't care
Title: Dere Geliyor
Cat.No.: KARAOKE KALK 142-S1

Release Date: 12.12.2025

we didn’t care is the Berlin-based producer and musician Engin Oeztuerk. He creates a world of atmospheric, guitar-driven songs that remain accessible despite their depth. His music guides listeners into a quiet yet uplifting state, without ever needing to be loud.

Drawing on his background as the son of Turkish guest workers in Germany, subtle traces of Turkish folk traditions flow into his music. These sit alongside influences from punk, hip-hop, indie, and electronic dance music, which he considers all building blocks of the same sonic language. Together, they form a diverse yet cohesive musical identity. The songs remain pared-down and slightly mysterious, reflecting both his cultural roots and global influences.

With 'Dere Geliyor,' we’re releasing his first single – a colorful film of someone too impatient to sit still, waiting to finally be with their beloved.

The EP Live at the Low End follows on February 20, 2026.

------

we didn’t care ist der in Berlin ansässige Produzent und Musiker Engin Oeztuerk. Er erschafft eine Welt aus atmosphärischen, gitarrengetragenen Songs, die trotz ihrer Tiefe leicht zugänglich bleiben. Seine Musik versetzt die Hörer:innen in einen ruhigen, aber aufbauenden Zustand, ohne laut auftreten zu müssen.

Ausgehend von seinem Hintergrund als Sohn türkischer Gastarbeiter in Deutschland fließen feine Spuren türkischer Folk-Traditionen in seine Musik ein. Diese stehen neben Einflüssen aus Punk, Hip-Hop, Indie und elektronischer Tanzmusik, die für ihn alle Bausteine derselben Klangsprache sind. Gemeinsam formen sie eine vielfältige und zugleich stimmige musikalische Identität. Die Songs bleiben reduziert und leicht geheimnisvoll und spiegeln sowohl seine kulturellen Wurzeln als auch weltweite Einflüsse wider.

Mit "Dere Geliyor" veröffentlichen wir seine erste Single – ein farbenreicher Film von jemandem, der zu ungeduldig ist, stillzusitzen, und darauf wartet, endlich bei der Geliebten zu sein.

Die EP Live at the Low End folgt am 20.02.2026.

Performed, produziert und gemixt von we didn’t care.
