The Acts

7:00 PM
GRACENELLY
R&B, Electronica | Munich

GRACENELLYwas founded in 2024 by singer, songwriter, and bandleader Nelly Schengelaja as a solo project. However, once she began her studies at the Munich University of Music and Performing Arts, the project quickly evolved into a versatile five-piece band where diverse musical backgrounds and influences converge. GRACENELLY’s sound moves effortlessly between R&B, electronic, jazz, drum and bass, and other genres. Thanks to the individual musical preferences of each band member, a unique sonic language emerged within a short time—one that deliberately defies conventional genre boundaries. Rather than limiting themselves to a single style, GRACENELLY views music as an open space for creative experimentation, surprising contrasts, and organic connections. At the heart of their music are honest lyrics and authentic stories that forge a direct connection with the audience. Their music combines emotional depth with modern production, complex grooves, and improvisational elements. The band draws inspiration from artists such as “Knower” and Thundercat, who are also known for their innovative fusion of diverse musical worlds.
GRACENELLY represents a new generation of musicians who view stylistic boundaries not as constraints, but as invitations. With their blend of virtuosity, curiosity, and emotional openness, the band creates a distinctive sound that invites both reflection and dance. (Source: Band info)

8:00 p.m.
NOT A GIANT
Experimental, Pop | Austria/Berlin

With her debut solo album,NOT A GIANT(Maria Solberger) creates a fascinating sonic universe that bridges neoclassical and experimental pop. Alongside her long-standing involvement as a member of the band Naked Cameo and her work as a musician for artists such as Christina Stürmer, nand, Cloudy June, and Soffie, the Berlin-based Austrian multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer is now opening up a musical world all her own.

NOT A GIANT sounds like a dream dipped in chloroform, designed to blur the boundaries between concert halls, clubs, and pop culture. The first release is scheduled for June 2026. (Source: Artist)

8:45 p.m.
POST CLIENTS
Krautrock, Indie Pop, Soul | Berlin
It all began in a studio in East Berlin. Every Thursday, friends and musicians would gather there simply to make music together. Driven by the desire to return to their roots and play with other people in the same room again. No laptops, no loops—just raw spontaneity. That’s how Post Clients came to be.

Emerging from the underground music scenes of Germany, Austria, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom,POST CLIENTSis a collective of Berlin-based musicians, producers, singers, DJs, and engineers: Maria Solberger (Naked Cameo), Tobias Koett (Ant Antic), Freya Bowers, Markus Hartung (Sultans Court), Jack Ritchie (Bearcubs), and Carina Zimmert.

They stepped away from their successful solo projects and joined forces to escape the rat race of the music industry. Over the course of a year, their debut album took shape during collaborative recording sessions. Krautrock rhythms, drum machines, soulful instrumentation, and raw synthesizer sounds blend with the imperfect beauty of live takes. The background noise, the buzz of voices, and the occasional crackle of a room full of artists and friends all in the flow together are deliberately woven into the music.

POST CLIENTS explore their respective musical roots, but this time as a cohesive unit, embedded in the alternative cultural scene. After organizing and performing at concerts and cultural events, their debut album is expected in the fall of 2026. (Source: Band info)
