ZEMENT is an Experimental-Psych-Rock-Trio, consisting of the multi instrumentalists Philipp Hager (Guitar, Synthesizers, Saxophone, Vocals), Christian Büdel (Drums, Percussion) and Florian Helleken (Bass, FX), who combines elements of Neo-Krautrock, Neo-Psychedelia, Noise-Rock & different types of contemporary Electronic Dance Music and the spirit of Free-Jazz into a unique eclectic sound-mix, set to take the listeners on a mesmerizing sonic journey!

Drawing on influences from the early electronic, Autobahn-inspired works of Kraftwerk, and the hypnotic repetition of Krautrock legends Neu! and CAN, as well as contemporary acts like Trans Am, Osees, Rapture, Metz or Cave, ZEMENT have crafted a unique hybrid sound that feels both nostalgic and futuristic. The rhythms revolve and the synthesizers swirl. Combined with psychedelic fuzzy guitars, cosmic Saxophone sounds, surrealistic vocals and pulsating drums and percussion, this music manufactory brings you a new hot sound with a psych-rock-twist, that you can dance, bang your head and flow away to. The result is an incredibly rich range of sounds that retain a pulsating energy, especially live.

Their last records were released by Berlin based quality label CRAZYSANE RECORDS and established ZEMENT as one of the finest contemporary Psych- and Experimental-Rock Acts in Germany at the moment, recognised internationally. Set to take Zement’s exploration of sound even further, a new album (expect more fuzz, more noise, more rIffs) is already in the making.Constant touring in the last couple of years brought them the reputation as an excellent and energetic live band. They found themself on tours through Europe and the UK, where the band shared stages with bands like Russian Circles, Slift or Minami Deutsch andalso played tons of club-solo shows. In 2026 the band will come back to the UK and Scandinavia for some concerts and will also play selected club and festival shows in Germany and Europe! The endless meditation on the architecture of mind and the movement of bodies continues! Join us on this journey!

𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐳𝐚𝐡𝐥 𝐎𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐬 (𝐃𝐄):
Highest Primzahl On Mars is a band from Frankfurt am Main, redefining the boundaries of Space and Krautrock. Since kicking off in 2023, the band has rapidly earned a reputation as one of the most prolific and intense live acts in the German psychedelic scene. The band has documented their passion for free-form playing and extended jams across three releases: Escape From Moronia (2023) Error NotFound (2024) and What???(2025).

While the two guitarists lock into a tight dialogue to weave intricate textures, the whole thing is anchored and pushed forward by a steady, driving pulse of bass and drums. Even though the tracks emerge without any prior planning, they’ve got a remarkable inner logic. Thanks to the deep, almost telepathic connection between the musicians, the jams develop such a natural flow that they often sound like carefully arranged compositions. It’s a collective sonic trip that, despite its spontaneity, never loses its way. It’s a shared experience where the listeners lose track of time and become fellow travelers on an interstellar expedition.

Their sound is built on the principle of "Cosmic Mathematics".

“With their third album, HIGHEST PRIMZAHL ON MARS have finally established themselves at the top of the German guitar psych and space rock scene.” (𝐑𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝟏/𝟐𝟔)

The Telescopes are an all embracing concern that began in 1987, the only constant being sole composer/instigator, Northumbrian born Stephen Lawrie. The band’s line-up is in constant flux, there can be anywhere between 1 and 20 members on a recording.

The Telescopes were initially signed to Cheree Records then moved on to What Goes On Records where they became regulars at the top of the indie charts before gaining more mainstream success on signing to Creation Records.

The Telescopes music has constantly pushed at it’s own boundaries, it overlaps many genres following its own course, inspiration led.

Time has shown The Telescopes music not only withstands repeated listening but also reveals something new with each listen, a thread consistent throughout a highly influential body of work spanning over 30 years. The Telescopes have been cited as an influence on many artists across genres, around the world.

Halo Moon is The Telescopes 17th studio album, the 6th for Tapete Records.

It came from the sky. A herald of new beginnings. A tranquil glow in the boundless universe.

This is a message from the cosmos. Welcome in a heightened sense of connection to the unseen and awaken to the parallel consciousness of The Telescopes.

On the day of conception a halo moon appeared directly above the studio, leaving a trail of magical dust over the sessions that followed.

Behold a revolution of nature speaking involuntarily from an alert state of hypnotic trance. Dig the déjà voodoo.
Halo Moon was created under these conditions by people under these conditions.

Ceremony East Coast, or short CEC, is the two-piece project of John and Sandra Fedowitz. You also might have seen them as the current rhythm section of A Place to Bury Strangers.

CEC loves relentless live shows and releases: Drone bass lines, white-noise guitars, savage drums and intense vocals. Nothing polished, highs and lows. The two of them insist on keeping their sound unapologetically human.

Upupayāma is the musical persona of Alessio Ferrari, an Italian multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who lives in a small mountain village above the city of Parma. Ferrari's music is rooted strongly in Eastern and Western folk traditions, blending them with his own modern sensibilities and style. He plays guitar, bass, keyboards, and drums, and also incorporates instruments like sitar, erhu, flute, and various percussion instruments into his sound.

Upupayāma's 2022 album, 'The Golden Pond,' is inspired by Ferrari's frequent visits to a small lake near his mountain home, focusing on the details of the place he inhabits. Upupayāma's music is known for its psychedelic, folk, and ambient elements, creating a unique and immersive sonic experience. In October 2025 Upupayāma released a LIVE AT FUZZ CLUB FESTIVAL 2025 LP on Fuzz Club Records.

Upupayāma recently announced their fourth album 'Honesty Flowers', which is due for release on May 29th 2026 on Fuzz Club.
An epic double album set, it finds Upupayāma's ever mind-blowing brew of organic psychedelic rock meets global grooves at its most percussive, lively and distorted. Equally hedonistic and heady, it courses through rhythmic funk grooves, doubled-down scorched fuzz riffing, winding motorik jams, tranquil drones and pastoral acid-folk across its seventy minute run time.

Rising out of Liverpool, they’ve earned a reputation as one of the Fuzz Club label’s most explosive live bands: relentless, chaotic and totally unpolished in the best way.

With their debut LP nearly sold out and praised by Louder Than War as a Top 20 Album of the Year, YOBS now push deeper into the fuzz-drenched, scorched-earth territory that has become their signature. It’s abrasive, hypnotic and loud enough to rattle concrete.

The band’s live shows have earned them their reputation for their energy, sweat, and total chaos.Fresh off tearing through Fuzz Club Festival (Eindhoven), headlining Mountain Sound Festival and packing out Manchester Psych Fest, YOBS continue to cement themselves firmly in the modern psych‐punk underground.

With their second album being released in 2026 on Fuzz Club Records, YOBS are honing an even darker, heavier and more intoxicating version of their sound.

Departing from the hypnotic, loop-based space-rock jams of their earlier work, the self-titled album from Portuguese/German duo Splitterzelle finds Pedro Pestana (10 000 Russos, Tren Go! Sound System) and Sidney Jaffe (Arcane Allies, Burnpilot, Parse, Ornamental) taking a much more produced approach driven primarily by drum machine and synths. Pounding sub-bass and dark electronic textures are at the forefront here, finding a middle ground between club-ready industrial techno heaviness and droning psychedelic noise.

Following their solo projects' collaboration on 2021’s Tren Go! Sound System & Ornamental 'Assessment' LP and a few Portuguese and German tours, Sidney and Pedro soon came to realise a new band was bubbling away and officialised their partnership in 2023 with the emergence of Splitterzelle.

Starting out as a guitar and drums duo, their time together and also perhaps the geographical circumstances of living in different countries allowed them the freedom to explore radically different creative approaches between 2024's live session album 'The Drumhard Sessions Vol. 1' and the full-throttle electronics of the 'Splitterzelle' LP in 2025

We are Arcane Allies – a hypnotic krautrock trio moving between psychedelic rock, electronic improvisation, and driving rhythms.
The band was founded in 2016 by Christiana Bonhaus (Theremin) and Sidney Jaffe (Drums).
Inspired by legends like Can, Neu!, Tangerine Dream, and Moon Duo, the project took its current shape in 2017 with the addition of Joel Jaffe (guitar). Since then, we've been continuously evolving our sound – somewhere between spherical, repetitive, and energetic.

References: With over 300 shows in more than 14 countries (including Germany, USA, UK, Portugal, France, Switzerland, Kosovo, and more), Arcane Allies are among the active touring acts in the European psych and krautrock scene.
Festival appearances include: Burg Herzberg Festival (Germany) Monsters of Psych (Nürnberg) Off The Radar (Bremen) Alterna Sounds (Münster) Discography: Three studio albums and a split release with fellow psych band Kombynat Robotron – available digitally and on vinyl.
In 2026, we’re celebrating our 10-year anniversary.

KALAC, a power trio from Dinan (Brittany, France), are a devotee of the inner journey, made possible by inspired shoegaze guitars that swirl around a rhythmic structure as much krautrock as it is neo-psychedelic.

KALAC released their stunning debut album, 'Odyssée', in 2024. Their next EP 'SELENE' is due for release in June 2026.

The French vocals can be ethereal or more physically engaged, whilst the music, though it may evoke DIIV or Minami Deutsch at times, regularly accelerates and thickens, thereby proving that the odyssey undertaken is not merely mental but also physical.
