In the organizer's words:

Need music? We do. For the fourteenth time, we invite you to Kafe Kult at the beginning of the year - to a meeting with new music in a self-made "it only happens once!" setting. Quiet, loud, weird, colorful, (still) too rarely heard, post, always unexpected. Only the prices are the old ones. Come on in!

This is what it looked like in 2025

𝗛𝘆𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗗𝗮𝘀𝗵 (𝗞𝘆𝗷𝗶𝘄 / 𝗙𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗝𝗮𝘇𝘇)
Hyphen Dash are coming to us from Kyiv (and to Munich for the first time). A live tornado that crumbles all genre templates with raw power and musical masterclass - jazz, rock, prog, electronic... with a smile and ease. You'll be blown away! Hyphen Dash have the album "Basement 626", recorded 15 kilometers from the front line in the Donetsk Oblast, in addition to the central album "LATE" and amazing live sessions. A tender tracing, a whisper of sound about the almost unspeakable. And of course, live they are always good for an improvisation, a twist. What will we hear on January 17? You'll have to be there.

𝗢𝗻𝘆𝗼𝗻 (𝗟𝗲𝗶𝗽𝘇𝗶𝗴 / 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼-𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗽𝘂𝗻𝗸)
Onyon are from Leipzig - and even US music blogs are raving about them. Presumably because everything is true with full force. And strives towards the distant future and closing the circle at the same time: It rattles, steams and stomps, "machineries" and "machineries" appear and disappear, a lofi-synth shuffles the times of post-punk and punk... You could think of the dark 80s or the early British punk heroes. Or the present, new machinery. Coal dust and rattling. The reality. And in between, a harmonica and an indie hit like "The Demon". Full speed ahead, in dance step!

𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗼 (𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼, 𝗜𝗧 / 𝗦𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗵-𝗥𝗼𝗰𝗸)
We love instrumental music. But maybe 2025 (and 2026) isn't the year for overly theatrical gestures - there's enough of that. Milo come all the way from central Italy. And they don't need any theatrical thunder. They go for a walk with guitar, bass and drums. Okay: no strolling. A hopping run, jumping, wondering and kneeling down through landscapes (spring or fall) - things sprout along the way, something moves in the wind, the world turns on its own axis, there's always something going on. And it's always good and shimmering. This is music; benvenuto

𝗙𝗶𝘀 (𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻 / 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲-𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗸)
Good news and exciting news. The good news: with "Last Song of the Yeah", Fis have perhaps made the best overlooked album of the Yeahs, pardon the year. Laconic, modest, slightly overcast and full of observations and instruments (acoustic guitars and plastic gadgets) that are music and audiophile lo-fi noise at the same time. Radio-dept.-esque. The exciting: The next evolutionary stage is already underway at innen: welt. Among other things, new songs and a semi-acoustic guitar are promised. This will be a sneak peak at a very high level. Not to be overlooked.

𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 (𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗼𝗹𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗱𝘁 / 𝗘𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁-𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗲)
Music is the sum of its parts. In Seaweather's case, these are drums (nimble), bass (growly), a guitar (as narrator) and a well-known voice (in Munich). And no need to hide or exaggerate anything. That's the inaudible ingredient. Indie with a little turmoil from within and one more thought, one more idea - which doesn't have to show off, but can be an invitation from the speakers. It sounds a little retro at times. But after a time that wasn't retro just yet. A time that was deeply asleep for that very reason. And with Seaweather, it purrs all the warmer in the memory.

𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗘𝗺𝗺𝗮 (𝗙ü𝗿𝘁𝗵 / 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗼𝗻𝗴𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴)
There is more wrong than right with being a songwriter in the 21st century. There is plenty of evidence of this in all the major cities of the western world. So it's all the more astonishing that someone literally in the middle of Bavaria has managed to avoid boredom and clichés - and with songs about love to boot: Rose Emma. Yes, voice, guitar (and violin). But with synthy set pieces from the distant 90s, a hint of boom, a pop quote, a deliberate limp and grinding in the rhythm and a lot of real verve. Gotta... love it.
