Rundlauf & LIVE feat. Dennis Dies Das

In the organizer's words:

We're celebrating the big BallaBalla closing at Düwell - a place where so many legendary round robin moments were created, friendships began and BallaBalla really got going in the first place. ❤️🏓 It was wild, loud, warm - a real adventure.

And because you don't say goodbye to a place like this quietly, we're going to give it one last go:

🔥 Last Rundlauf party at Düwell
🎧 Special guest, live: techno rap pioneer Dennis Dies Das - with fresh tracks and plenty of energy on the floor
💿 DJs: DJ ★★★★ and DJ Olli Buzzter provide the beats
🏓 Round robin, drinks, escalation as always - just one last time at this location

Dennis Dies Das has established himself from Cologne as one of the distinctive voices of the current techno rap trend and is considered a pioneer of a sound that naturally combines club culture and street rap. His early releases and YouTube hits showed how organically rap flows and electronic drops can be dovetailed long before the hybrid style arrived in the mainstream. Since then, he has released various singles, EPs and albums, including streaming successes such as "Bass" (over 26 million Spotify streams) and fan favorites that regularly end up in playlists between techno cuts and German rap.

His cosmos takes listeners right into the heart of Cologne's nightlife - not to champagne lounges, but to kiosks, park benches and cellar clubs, where €3 wine, neon lights and cell phone flashes form the backdrop. Stylistically, he fuses 90s and 00s dance with a rap attitude that is reminiscent of protagonists of the new techno rap such as Ski Aggu, but at the same time clearly bears his own signature. Pop culture references from games, films and fashion run through his lyrics, while influences from electro and EDM greats shape his productions.

Dennis Dies Das is also visually striking: With Y2K-Iro, Schnauzer and Puma Speedcats, he has long been more than just another name in the line-up, but a figure that makes his songs immediately tangible on stage. Some of his output is created together with long-term partner Sascha Urlaub, who accompanies him as a DJ and translates the hybrid sound live into collective rave moments. At the same time, Dennis Dies Das is cultivating a growing community on social media, where he uses humorous clips to play on the intersection of the scene, masculinity clichés and big city myths, opening up additional narrative spaces for his tracks.

With our new "Rundlauf & LIVE" series, we are giving young musicians a stage - right in our BallaBalla Ping-Pong paradise. More live music, more vibes, more community. Come along, play, dance, sweat - and join us in saying: Thank you, Düwell. And: Hello future. 🚀 We'll see you again... guaranteed, soon - in a new place!
