DJ/Artist:
Theatral Soup

Introduction:
The non-commercial Nuremberg music blog called Theatral Soup started 6 years ago as a hobby and nostalgia project with a radio background to write about current and older releases in the field of electronic music.

The musical sound of the Nuremberg techno DJ Theatral Soup (Kiss Klub, Haus33) himself, in addition to industrial, wavy and punk directions, is strongly influenced by groove, hypnotic, dub techno, Detroit electro, noise, ambient and break, the set design is consciously always present Atmospheric images of beloved arthouse films are inspired and the love for electronic music was probably strengthened by electronic video game scores from childhood. Stylistically, the DJ is on one “never-ending search for identity” somewhere between punk attitude, raw rhythm, surrealistic provocation, rebellious violent aesthetics and minimalism.

DJ/Artist:
Michael Rosmann

Introduction:
From teenage years spent playing guitar in punk and indie bands, it was clear that Michael had a propensity for alternative musical culture and the divergent sonics that drive it. A gradual shift toward electronic music lead Michael to channel an enthusiasm for Techno into DJing, event management and most recently – label management.

Fast forward to the present and Michael now has 20 years of experience working as a now esteemed figure in Nürnberg’s musical milieu. His event ‘Kiss Klub’ is one of Rakete’s longest standing club nights and is essentially the core of his musical endeavours. In 2022, the project expanded to incorporate a label: Kias which was inaugurated by Ostgut’s Fiedel and will now continue to provide a platform for some of the many artists in the ever-expanding Kiss Klub family.

As a DJ, Michael weaves sets that are as moody and subtle as they are kinetic and driving. Deep and dark shades of Techno are consistently coloured with a touch of Dub while looming drones bring depth and character to his hypnotic selections. As a producer, Michael utilises his knowledge of musical theory garnered from piano playing as he builds the cogs that drive his sets; classically structured Techno that packs power and intrigue in equal measures.
