»Una melodia i miei ricordi« is the first of the two title tracks from Astrobal’s third album, »L’uomo e la natura.« It sees the composer step up to the mic for a dreamy vocal performance that perfectly matches the intimate-yet-ethereal feeling of the song: at once soothing, wistful, and melancholic, it captures the emotional ambiguities of the whole album in just four minutes.

The album "L'uomo e la natura" by Astrobal will be released on February, 7th 2025.

The band YELKA on the track "Teddy"

"Teddy" was originally planned as a purely instrumental piece, aiming to capture a classic New Orleans blues vibe before eventually evolving into something more indie. We recorded the song in the middle of summer in an extremely hot Popschutz studio, and only afterwards did the idea emerge that lyrics and vocals might actually fit well. So, we picked up on the America theme and travelling in terms of guilty pleasures and started writing text elements together in the studio—by the next morning, the song was finished. Eventually, "Honolulu" became a fictive scene for a "trippy dream" full of contradictions."

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

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.

Less than a year after their debut, Donna Regina released their second album, Almaty, in 1993—this time on the Hamburg-based label Strange Ways, which stepped in at just the right moment after Our Choice/Rough Trade had dropped out. The album features nine original songs as well as a cover of the classic La Madrague, originally sung by Brigitte Bardot. With the twelve-and-a-half-minute title track Almaty, the band presented their longest piece to date. In their now eight-track studio, Donna Regina experimented with new sounds, including a Hawaiian guitar, which can be heard right in the opening track, Full Silver Moon.

Now, Almaty returns—available digitally for the first time, making it accessible to a new generation of listeners.

Donna Regina - I'll Travel Light

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: Nothing Heavy

LC CODE: 10028

Release Date: 22.08.2025

»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.
