ZEMENT is Christian Büdel & Philipp Hager.
With their revolving rhythms, swirling synths and rough textures, Zement seek to build the experience of a music manufactory that incorporates elements of krautrock, psychedelic rock, noise rock and EDM.
The eclectic mix of influences and quality songwriting places the duo in the league of established experimental rock acts like Maserati, Trans Am and Föllakzoid. Through combining the wonders of the autobahn with intelligent nods to techno and free jazz, their current output is an excellent continuation of the band's already impressive resumé. Continuous touring in the last couple of years also brought them the reputation as an excellent live band! They shared a stage with national and international bands such as Föllakzoid, Lucrecia Dalt, Elder or Russian Circles and also played tons of solo shows. Zements music is an endless meditation on the architecture of mind and the movement of bodies! Join us!

"Cement is a flour that can form fortresses. But cement is also a band that is both serious and
play at the same time."
(Visions Magazine)
________
"With this third album, Zement finally establish themselves as a kraut powerhouse."

________
"A hybrid of Autobahn-inspired early electronic from the school of Kraftwerk and the hypnotic
repetition from Krautrock pioneers Neu! Similar to contemporary groups like Föllakzoid and Trans Am,
Zement take those inspirations and add in their own ingredients to propel the genre forward.
"Rohstoff" their third full-length, has some exciting psychedelic undertones stirred into the cauldron."

Support: Kombynat Robotron
Kombynat Robotron is a three-piece psychrock/noise/kraut band from Kiel. The band was founded in 2018. All members of Kombynat were and are active in other bands (Saufknast, Earthbong, Minerall...).
The sound of Kombynat is characterized by the different musical backgrounds of the three roboticists. Kilometer-high walls of sound are piled up and smashed, repetitive bass patterns with fuzz and flying drums form the foundation for swirling guitar solos and noise rock escapades.
Since 2019, the band has released a number of LPs in collaboration with various labels (including Drone Rock Records, Tonzonen Records, Clostridium Records, Acid Test Records, Little Cloud Records). However, Kombynat does not limit its releases to the medium of vinyl, but also regularly works with labels that specialize in the release of cassettes.
In October 2023, Frohe Zukunft, the Kombynat's fifth studio album, was released via Drone Rock Records. Frohe Zukunft was extremely well received by fans and critics and sold out within a few days. For 2024, in addition to the release of the sixth studio album via Clostridium Records
and Cardinal Fuzz, a limited edition live LP is also planned. The band has already played at festivals such as Desertfest Berlin, Krach am Bach, Esbjerg Fuzztival and Alterna Sounds Festival and shared the stage with bands such as Kanaan, Delving, and Kungens Män. In addition to an appearance at Stoned From The Underground Festival, the band will play a short UK tour in July 2024
play a short UK tour and perform at the legendary Kozfest.
