Beslik

In the organizer's words:

After is after, now is now - and now you'd better not think about what's after, but leave all blockades behind you on beslik's eagerly awaited first solo tour and enjoy the show! On his journey through the German-speaking cultural area, the Düsseldorf street poet will be accompanied by various special acts and will make sure that afterwards you look back on the future-then-now and wish that it would happen again soon.

Over the last few years, the chaos artist beslik has sent out a series of solo crew and feature tracks into the world that is difficult to keep track of and has become an indispensable protagonist of the German rap scene, not least because of his sometimes highly escalating live shows - solo and as part of the Boloboys - without losing any of his lightness.

His creative ejections, shot into the ether with persistent continuity, move between laconic trap flows, ignorance bordering on punk rock, hyperpop-esque catchiness and inciting fairground techno - the varying means of production always embedded in beslik's unmistakable pen outpourings, which, with their shifts in perspective between inner processes and social observations, accurately depict the emotional range in which the attitude to life of many young city dwellers manifests itself in the age of major crises, where in the emotional confusion there are often only millimetres between decadence and the abyss.
