In the organizer's words:

Megaloh, that's "flow - change, but don't break a word". That's inimitable stage presence despite a modest attitude, that's tearing down the splash! mainstage with two broken arms. Megaloh, that's a schizophrenic pendulum ride between light-footed champion level and head-scratching thoughtfulness. It's a high degree of self-reflection - and in depressive phases, it's a case of getting - yourself - ready - instead - of - his - songs. Megaloh, that's an eventful biography between red carpet and camp job; that's "Herb & Mango" and "Spätes Erwachen"; that's a bulging feature list that bundles names from Schmyt to Celo&Abdi, Joy Denalane to Gringo, Samy Deluxe to Majan and Luvre47 to Trettmann or Gentleman. Megaloh is also an artist who has never stopped growing, improving, reinventing himself - not least in the role of producer - swimming free and emancipating himself further and further from the industry. The best proof? His latest work " Black Lotus " - a remarkably stubborn, consistently challenging concept album that deliberately disregards the current trends of the music market. If you want to understand it, you have to take your time - and understand " Schwarzer Lotus " as a self-contained work of art that does not pander to the singles charts or pop rap playlists.

If you listen carefully to "Schwarzer Lotus", you will sense that it is not least a promise that has become an album. A promise to maintain integrity regardless of success. A promise never to give up again. A promise that the dance will never end - and that every failure will be followed by moving on and getting better.
