Carlo Karacho

In the organizer's words:

The last ride through the eye of the needle

Carlo Karacho's music moves skillfully between synthpop, post-punk and the Neue Deutsche Welle of the 80s, peppered with modern elements of the present - multi-faceted in terms of themes and views and with a penchant for engaging, danceable beats. Through his exclusively German lyrics, the producer and singer provides an insight into his world and deals with various moods and topics in an ironic, witty or emotional way.
Carlo Karacho emerged from the pulsating Berlin sound cosmos two years ago with his debut EP "CM Isolation". Without warning, the sound tinkerer teleports the peaks of Neue Deutsche Welle in '85 into the present and reaches the level of the once world-famous legends right off the bat: A bit of German-American friendship, pinches of Holger Hiller, delicate 808s and Detroit electro vibes. Karacho brings together things that have always belonged together but have recently met far too rarely. The buxom DIY productions of this self-ironic jack-of-all-trades are characterized by an almost lavish melodic flair that is almost impossible to learn: either it's there - or it's not. Spontaneity over economy, so to speak. For his new album "WIR SIND NICHT DIE JEDI DIE SIE SUCHEN" he arranges to meet people from the mysterious collective Torn Palk on eBay and starts jamming. Together they recorded ten tracks in just five days, which, between post-punk, updated new wave and classic NDW vibes, provided the perfect soundtrack for the absurdities of our late capitalist era. Lively on stage, a feast for the senses where water becomes wine. Can only be felt, not described.
