On his debut album "Between Me And Myself", young pianist, singer, and producer Frederick Schulze-Schilddorf alias Calida Ray explores psychedelic soundscapes, blending experimental jazz aesthetics and immersive ambient spheres with elements of downbeat and driving electronica. The 21-year-old newcomer sings his deeply personal coming-of-age story, reflecting on his ambivalent relationship with growing up in dream-like lyrical sequences. In times of single-focused music production, “Between Me And Myself” is the antidote: An album best listened to as a full body of work, meditating into the complex layers of harmonies and rhythm changes over the course of 51 minutes.

Calida Ray wrote, produced and mixed “Between Me And Myself” in Freiburg, Berlin and Lisbon mainly between late Summer 2023 and Spring 2024. Many of the songs were first written on piano at Calida Ray’s childhood home. Therefore it only makes sense how Calida Ray’s longplayer describes the torn feeling between old comfort zones and at the same time emancipating from old dependencies. It tells stories of heartbreak and then finding solace in it. Of fading into dreams and then seeking out to express them in reality. The title describes the polarities, the ambivalences we find ourselves in over and over again growing up. Ultimately, “shadows [are] blown away” like Calida Ray states on outro song “fall”.

Calida Ray - Between Me And Myself

Berlin producer LOUSELV and Saratoga Springs rapper Mundy present “It’s Enough For Me, Anyway”, a compact EP connecting their shared love for soulful lo-fi aesthetics and playful lyricism. Three original productions full of dense wordplay and Mundy’s ice-cold delivery on stripped down instrumentals based on finely chopped soul and jazz samples by beat maker LOUSELV. A transatlantic exchange between two artists in their early twenties proving that the timeless concept of unfiltered raps and sharp lyricism driven by organic beats do not age. LOUSELV connected with Mundy through common friends, the German producer met when he was in upstate New York as an exchange student. Online the two started working on songs and found a mutual understanding of rap. Echoing both pioneers like J Dilla and Slum Village, and contemporaries such as The Alchemist and Earl Sweatshirt, the duo’s sound bridges generations with a nostalgic yet fresh appeal.


LOUSELV & Mundy — It's Enough For Me, Anyway

A modern day love story might go as follows: Lukas and Jonathan, two brothers running Berlin-based label Kommerz Records, started connecting with their favorite new jazz combo Triorität via IG without any business in mind, just to find out that they grew up in the same place – often overlooked, but damn cute city of Darmstadt. 
So why not just meet up during winter holidays in their parent’s garden (social distancing was still a thing in winter 2020) to sit around a fireplace and drink wine from daddy’s stack? A perfect start for a new friendship.

Noa Erni’s extraordinary debut “The Mental Traveller” hadn’t been released at that time, but the trinity of Triorität was immediately caught by Noa’s unpretentious chord play and the idea was born to create some live interpretations of his compositions. The Swiss-born producer and wine merchant (meet him at Friedenauer Weinhandlung) produced his obscure jazz and hip-hop atmospheres as a one man band hidden away in his home studio in Berlin. Childhood friends Triorität, on the contrary, developed their “dancefloor jazz” on stage and in the rehearsal room, finessing their very own melange of 70s fusion, disco as well as modern electronics and hip-hop. With their 2020 masterpiece “ALG0” they perfectly captured the stage powerplay on a 12” record, awarded with a co-sign by Gilles Peterson.

Fast forward into 2021: Ouvo Records, the imprint run by Triorität and DJ Ion, and Kommerz Records are best label buddies and their collaboration “The Mental Traveller - Triorität Session” came to life. Three songs of Noa Erni revisited by Triorität’s Alexander Hoffmann (drums), Gerrit Ebeling (keys) and Grégoire Pignède (bass) in their very own jazz fusion madness. Recorded in summer 2021 at Il Civetto studios in Berlin-Lichtenberg by Christ Hentz a.k.a. Hentzup and mastered by Mark Pfurtscheller, the full EP will be available on all digital platforms November 19th alongside a live video of the session.

DJ Piper - Kush Clouds

“Black Pegasus is a song about letting go and moving forward. Opening with “I gotta feel your comfort” is a nod to a certain state of mind, emotion and/or impression that was well-washed through time and nostalgia. I find it very interesting how past emotions can change retrospectively and how the (in this case, my) brain can manipulate memories into solely positive or negative emotions. The three verses go from weekend (Sh*t ain’t open on a Sunday) to Monday back to weekend (are you free about this weekend) to intensify the time factor articulated in this song. While the weekend back was something to be clung on to, the lyrical me is still looking forward to the weekend ahead, being positively open-minded while intrigued. The (very) puristic hook is kind of a mantra to not be stuck in the past too much.” - DJ Swagger

“Blue Camaro” stands out on DJ Swagger's upcoming “Chemistry Foreverever". While most of the LP's tracks take a deep dive into bass-heavy electronic spheres, this short contemporary R&B tune closes the album merging many genre worlds in one. Lyrically, it's a bittersweet ballad about trying impress a girl even years after a love story has passed. Once again DJ Swagger shows his versatility as producer and singer.

DJ Swagger - Days Before

Dance music but make it “Cowboy Bebop”? Say no more! — DJ Swagger’s newest single “Space Cowboy” merges the jazzy vibe of the iconic 90s anime with an electrifying UK Funky/UK Garage beat. The song condenses all the enthusiasm and creativity of the young German producer into less than three minutes – this is jazz on steroids! He brings big band instrumentation to the dance floor making this unexpected tune a (late) candidate for song of the (late) summer.

DJ Swagger - Cred It

DJ Swagger can’t ever stop. After his first album on Kommerz Records, “Chemistry Forever”, he extends the whole story into “Chemistry Foreverever” (September 9th, 2024) and presents us the first single “Best Friends”.
 The bittersweet love ballad is a post-dubstep banger with heavy jazz influence referencing early works of James Blake and Nicolas Jaar. DJ Swagger orchestrates his frail singing with an absorbing production that combines passages of jazz piano and upright bass (the latter played by himself) with wobbly bass lines and spacious synth line.		
Hailing from West Germany’s Bielefeld, DJ Swagger is pretty much the archetype of a so-called Wunderkind. At his young age of 25 the producer, DJ, multi instrumentalist and songwriter released more than 40 vinyl records including two solo albums and endless rave tracks since turning 16. While on “Chemistry Forever” DJ Swagger’s creative agenda ventured more and more into classic songwriting and taking over the role of lead vocalist of his one-man-band, we find him now in a world just in between. On “Chemistry Foreverever” he focuses more on instrumental pieces and sets some vocal highlights to guide through the record. 
One of them being the lead single “Best Friends”. Out everywhere September 20th.

Berlin-based electronica pop trio Dim Fumes present "Clear Lake". Their new composition deals with the conflicts and memories of the past, striving for answers, peace and greater clarity. The electronica-pop track mixes heavy drums with floating vocal arrangements and lush pads inspired by Massive Attack and Moderat, taking you into ethereal spaces.

Dim Fumes comprises singer and score composer Lukas Zepf (aka No Bloom Now), alongside Marc Landendinger and Luca Christakopoulous (known collectively as the DJ/producer duo Thrived, with releases on Club Qu and Paàl’s Voitax). Together, they channel Berlin’s unique zeitgeist, capturing the city’s pulse between rave culture and a yearning for genuine connection. Drawing on influences from the early 2010s – such as Moderat, James Blake, and Burial – as well as pioneers of deconstructed club music like Iglooghost, the trio crafts songs that feel equally at home on concert stages and club dance floors. Since forming in May, they have performed over 15 shows across Germany, including appearances at festivals like Melt, Tarmac, and Kosmos.

MORE INFO:

For young Berlin artist INDOME, seeking the stage spotlight whilst fostering a loving community around her is a transformative practice to emancipate from trauma and grief. What might seem contradictory – striving for independence against being emotionally available to her peers – goes hand in hand for INDOME.

Her debut album “Permission To Feel” is the emotionally striking testament of a talented, warm hearted girl with Southeast Asian roots, who grows up to be a woman in the south of Germany and Berlin. In the midst of the turmoil that is coming of age she had to deal with losing her Indonesian father. To process the loss and deal with new questions about identity, she eventually found solace in writing about it. Her album “permission to feel” explores the power of vulnerability: “I wanted to create a space where all emotions are allowed to be felt—whether positive or negative.”

Tracks like “Shame Ya” and “Permission To Feel” deal with shame, emotional repression, and the struggle for self-acceptance. “Island Girl” pays tribute to her Indonesian roots and her father with original field recordings from Bali, while “I’ll Be Alright” offers a light-hearted celebration of friendship and resilience.

Written and mostly produced by INDOME herself, the 10-track album blends intimate R&B vocals with contemporary electronic sound spheres, like Drum’n’Bass and Jungle. While taking the creative lead, INDOME collaborated with a talented cast of friends, many of them creatives from her hometown Freiburg who moved to Berlin alongside her. She wrote “I Choose You” together with her band collective kitch. Band member and experimental jazz artist Calida Ray plays piano on multiple songs. The band’s drummer, Leevi Lamadé alias LOUSELV, co-produced “Blurred Out Path” alongside JOHN PLAYER, another of her hometown affiliates. Just like Euro Chan who mixed the album with INDOME and produced three songs with his Berlin buddy Hazy030.

As part of a young, vibrant creative community in Berlin, INDOME created a visual campaign created in close collaboration with young creative duo Laís Yukie de Souza Takano and Joe Huth alias MEANT2B\ONFILM. The visuals tackle themes like addiction, eating disorders, queer expression, and self-empowerment—amplifying INDOME’s mission to create space for emotional truth and human connection.

Follow Calida Ray: www.instagram.com/calidaray_
Follow Kommerz: www.instagram.com/kommerz.fyi

“‘Breathing Underwater’ is a reflection of reverence for the vastness of nature, an overwhelming force of which I’m only a tiny fragment. At the centre is the element of water, which for me is a symbol of calm and safety, yet also of isolation and numbness. This ambivalence mirrors the timeless inner journey toward self-reconciliation and wholeness. Underwater, everything feels different — like being suspended in a surreal state. To escape it, I must rise to the surface. Until then, I breathe underwater.”

– Calida Ray, 2025

On his new EP “Breathing Underwater”, Berlin singer, producer, and pianist Calida Ray continues to explore immersive worlds between R&B, ambient textures, electronica, and experimental jazz. Across seven new tracks, the 21-year-old retains the ethereal and playful quality of his 2024 debut album “Between Me And Myself” while further developing and maturing his sound.

The EP features collaborations with Kommerz fellow artist and longtime collaborator INDOME, Nigerian-American multi-talent osaremen, rising New York artist AWET, and local trumpeter Paolo De Jesus Maido.

Track taken from „Kommerz Season 1: Anti-Virus“, dropping August 21st on vinyl with a super limited & high quality Kommerz face mask
Featuring DJ Piper (of Fjaak), Glenn Astro (Ninja Tune, Tartelet) & Hodini (ava.), Cuthead (Uncanny Valley), O-Wells (Die Orakel, Live at Robert Johnson), Qnete (Lobster Theremin, 777 Recordings), Manuel Fischer (Lobster Theremin, Ozelot Ltd.).

DJ Piper, also known as the F in Fjaak, trusts us to release his very first hip-hop instrumental under his new solo moniker. The Berlin-Spandau-born producer’s take is a smooth and atmospheric loop perfectly setting the mood for deep listening. Techno only heads might be surprised, but DJ Piper aka Felix has been crafting hip-hop beats even longer than he’s into techno music.
