04.11.25 – Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik

I just found out that our album “RHYTHM RIOT” has been nominated for the Quarterly Critic’s Choice in Germany (Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik). Thanks to the jury for this wonderful recognition! We’re in very good company as you can see.

Big thanks to my label jazzsick records for making all of this possible! I’m looking at you André Nendza & Philipp van Endert 🙂

Also thanks to Arne Thamer from Backseat PR for the great promotion and of course to André & Erik for their outstanding musicianship and humour.

Shout out to the Loft Köln where we recorded our last two records with sound wizard Christian Heck. Always a big pleasure to record and play there!
