Press Info (German):
Von der ewigen Jetztzeit der Clubkultur und der radikalen Hoffnung im Angesicht des Untergangs – Kalipo, der Berliner Produzent, Multi-Instrumentalist und Mitgründer der legendären Electropunk-Formation Frittenbude sowie Dark Disco-Band Dina Summer, veröffentlicht sein fünftes Soloalbum.

Mit „Alles“ (VÖ: 19.09.2025, Iptamenos Discos) entwirft Kalipo ein Panorama der Gegenwart, das ebenso von persönlicher Reife wie kollektiver Erschöpfung erzählt – und von der Möglichkeit, all dem einen beatgetriebenen Trotz entgegenzusetzen. Disco Punk nennt Kalipo selbst diese Musik, die sich irgendwo zwischen EBM, Indie-Sleaze und einer neuen Form des Kraut-Techno bewegt: roh, melodisch, dringlich.

Im Jahr 2025 klingt elektronische Musik nicht mehr wie die Zukunft. Sondern wie Erinnerung. Nostalgie ist die heimliche Leitwährung des Pop – Kalipo ist einer der wenigen Künstler, der diesen melancholischen Rückblick nicht einfach hinnimmt, sondern in eine musikalische Praxis überführt, die sich der Vergangenheit bedient, um aus ihr ein anderes Morgen zu formen.

Im Zentrum: Kalipos eigene Stimme, ruhig, fast beiläufig, wie ein Erzähler, der sich von alten Gewissheiten verabschiedet – und dabei auf eine neue Form von Glück hofft. Eine Ästhetik des Loslassens, musikalisch wie textlich.

Mit dem Titeltrack Alles gelingt ihm ein seltenes Kunststück: der große Popmoment, der sich nicht aufdrängt. Die Dramaturgie aus pochendem Arpeggio, gezügeltem Pathos und bittersüßer Melodik wirkt wie ein Echo aus einer Zeit, in der Electroclash noch mehr war als Retro – und entwickelt doch ihre eigene Dringlichkeit. Ein Song über das Unausweichliche, der gleichzeitig den Widerstand dagegen feiert.

Was Kalipo von vielen seiner Zeitgenossen unterscheidet, ist der diskursive Tiefgang seiner Musik. Sie denkt mit: über Clubkultur als sozialem Raum, über Männlichkeitsentwürfe, über das Verhältnis von Oberfläche und Gefühl. Sie verweigert sich dem Zynismus, ohne ins Naive zu kippen. Und sie behauptet: Selbst in der dunklen Ecke des Dancefloors kann noch ein utopischer Moment aufleuchten.

Alles ist Kalipos vielleicht reifstes Werk – und zugleich eines, das sich die Spielfreude und Radikalität bewahrt hat, mit der alles einmal angefangen hat. Zwischen Indie-Schweiß und Techno-Nebel, zwischen Faust in der Luft und Träne im Auge, schält sich hier ein Sound heraus, der nicht gefallen will, aber oft begeistert. Und der daran erinnert: Die Zukunft der elektronischen Musik liegt nicht im nächsten Drop – sondern im nächsten Gedanken.

 

Press Info (English):For over 20 years, Kalipo has operated in the dynamic space between electronics and emotion, club culture and songwriting, politics and poetry. As a producer and co-founder of projects like the legendary electro-punk band Frittenbude – with whom he won the 1LIVE Krone, Germany’s most prestigious radio award – and the dark-disco trio Dina Summer along with Local Suicide.

With “Alles”, Kalipo releases his fifth solo album – and perhaps his most personal to date. Blending dark club energy, playful indie songwriting, and analog DIY production, the album boldly continues his artistic journey: rougher, edgier, yet always heartfelt. The warm melancholy of earlier works meets cool beats, analog grit, inner turmoil, and a significantly increased vocal presence. It sounds like a new beginning.

Here, Kalipo emerges as songwriter, producer, and performer all in one. His sound – which he describes as Psychedelic Disco Punk – merges punk’s attitude with the force of club music and the emotional depth of classic song structures. Stylistically, he moves between dark disco, post-punk, EBM, indie sleaze, techno, electroclash, and songwriting. Again and again, he combines synth arpeggios, pounding four-on-the-floor drums, and shimmering guitars with catchy vocal hooks, distilling the essence of a sound deeply rooted in Berlin.

The title track “Alles” captures this tension right from the start: a dark disco track that begins with typical heaviness and gradually dissolves into lightness. Driven by a propulsive beat echoing retro textures, deep electronic basslines and dragging synth sequences unfold, while the guitar glimmers intermittently – like a light showing the way out.

At the core: “And the fear you carry in your heart – have you lost it today? Anything can happen.” This play between lightness and gravity runs throughout the entire album. “Alles” tells of departure and new beginnings, of inner conflict, depression, desire, and love – while also bidding farewell to hegemonic masculinity. Despite the weight of its themes, the album radiates strength and confidence.

“History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes,” wrote Mark Twain. Kalipo makes that rhyme audible. Just as the songs of the 1980s offered counter-narratives to the leaden heaviness of their time, “Alles” seeks expression in today’s hazy present. Music as attitude, as movement, as an invitation to surrender control. Not just nostalgic, but firmly anchored in the now.

Vintage drum machines meet modern, punchy snares on tracks like “Crimson Rain.” Raw synth basslines and floating chorus guitars shape songs like “Geister” and “All Things Must Come to an End.” The often laconic vocals add a depth usually found in classic songwriting. “Sparkling Tears,” “Deine Worte,” and “My Laboratory” hit hard, pulling us back onto the dance floors of Berlin’s dark, smoky clubs.

It’s precisely this intersection between club and indie where Kalipo feels most at home – moving freely between genres while always retaining his signature style.

Press Info:
Berlin-based synth-wave band Dina Summer recently released their highly anticipated second album ‘Girls Gang’ via Iptamenos Discos. Donning a decadent sound described by Resident Advisor as “dark disco meets EBM”, Dina Summer is a collaborative project formed of electro-punk band Frittenbude member Kalipo and dark-disco DJ & producer duo Local Suicide.

Their previous work includes the critically acclaimed 2022 album “Rimini”, which offers a nostalgic dive into retro disco vibes, along with the 2021 EP “Who Am I” and 2024 EP “Hide & Seek”. They also contributed to Curses’ “Next Wave Acid Punx” compilation, participated in Purple Mag x radiooooo’s “2070” project, and performed at Reeperbahn Festival’s prestigious “Collide Session”.

Their new album is a versatile collection of 11 tracks that delve into themes such as empowerment, outsiderhood, impermanence, nostalgia, and relationships. While their debut album was characterized by its club-centric sound, drawing from Italo disco and ’90s electro influences, this new release explores a richer palette of new wave, post-punk, and synth-pop.

The sophomore longplayer is more song-oriented, often featuring real bass and guitar, and showcases a more vocal-driven performance from frontwoman Dina, incorporating more singing alongside her trademark spoken words. Yet, it retains the same catchy melodies Dina Summer is known for, offering both indie pop hymns and a few undeniable club anthems.

Now the trio are releasing a number of club versions, remixes by befriended artists such as the legendary DJ Hell, dark disco all-star Damon Jee, Italian stallion Phunkadelica & French singer/producer and film composer The Populists (aka Yan Wagner) before they are kicking off their extensive Europe tour!
