DEUTSCH:
Cosey Mueller ist eine aus den Tiefen der Berliner Underground-Szene herkommende Selfmade-Musikerin, die elektronische Sounds auf intuitivste Weise erforscht und dabei nie ihre Liebe zum Rock n Roll vergisst. Nach der Veröffentlichung ihres Debütalbums „Interior Escapes“ im Jahr 2021 ist sie 2023 mit einer neuen Veröffentlichung „Irrational Habits“ zurück. Ihre Musik zeichnet sich durch repetitive Synthesizer-Melodien, explosive Beats, ausdrucksstarken Gesang und einen spielerischen Umgang mit Sprache aus. Man reist in eine andere Zeit, aber es ist nicht klar, ob diese Zeit jemals existiert hat. Ein pulsierendes, flirrendes und tanzbares Live-Erlebnis ist garantiert.

SEXBEAT besteht seit 2024 aus Leuten von unter anderem: HALL, HERPES, NOEM, SURF NAZIS MUST DIE und UV GLAZE.

“Crack“ ist radikale Reduktion – Für das zweite Album hat die Berliner Band alle Differenzen und Summen weggestrichen und im Proberaum ein Punk-Album eingespielt, das keine weiteren Genrebezeichnungen braucht. DIY wird hier nicht als Gimmick, sondern als alternativlose Notwendigkeit verstanden - “Crack” entstand ohne Studio, ohne Produzent und ohne Ahnung.

SEXBEAT interpretiert Punk geschichtsbewusst mit weitgefächerten Einflüssen, die von Oblivians über Suicide bis hin zu Hot Snakes reichen. Klanglich orientiert man sich am 90er-Jahre Sound des Dischord-Katalogs: Bass und Drums drücken nach vorne, Gitarre und Gesang kotzen sich dazwischen aus. Die Songs klingen mal stark fragmentiert und mechanisch, mal detailliert ausgearbeitet, aber immer direkt und unverblümt.

Textlich geht es um alles, was nervt: kaputte Politik, kaputte Gesellschaft, und all die kleinen kaputten Dinge in einem selbst. Referenzen reichen von Gordon Solie Motherf***ers (“Give them a dirty floor for a stage. A five bucks show and I`m stoked for days”) bis zu George Orwell (“Four legs good, two legs bad”) und am Ende muss sogar Grammy-Preisträger Beck herhalten, denn über allem steht: „You make me wanna try crack“.

“Crack” erscheint Mitte Mai auf This Charming Man Records.
Since 2024, SEXBEAT has consisted of people from, among others: HALL, HERPES, NOEM, SURF NAZIS MUST DIE and UV GLAZE.

‘Crack’ is radical reduction - for their second album, the Berlin-based band has reduced all differences and sums and recorded a punk album in the rehearsal room that needs no further genre labelling. DIY is not seen here as a useless gimmick, but as an absolute necessity - ‘Crack’ was recorded without a studio, without a producer and without a clue.

SEXBEAT interprets punk in a history-conscious way, drawing on a wide range of influences, from Oblivians and Suicide to Hot Snakes. The recording is based on the 90s sound of the Dischord catalogue: Bass and drums push forward, guitar and vocals spit out in between. The songs sometimes sound highly fragmented and mechanical, sometimes detailed, but always direct and blunt.

The lyrics are about everything that's bugging you: broken politics, broken society and all the broken things inside you. References range from Gordon Solie Motherf***ers ("Give them a dirty floor for a stage. A five bucks show and I`m stoked for days‘) to George Orwell (’Four legs good, two legs bad") and in the end even Grammy award winner Beck has to come in, because above all else it says: “You make me wanna try crack”.

‘Crack’ will be released in mid-May on This Charming Man Records.

Established in 2020, Warm Exit is a Post-punk quartet from Brussels, Belgium. Their violently frontal music is anexplosive blend of sonic intensity that sets them apart as one of the country's most electrifying and raucous acts.Drawing inspiration from Krautrock, Punk, and Noise, their relentless rhythmic prowess is a testament to their diverse influences. Channeling the spirit of iconic bands like Wire, Rema Rema, and Pil, Warm Exit ventures into the shadowy realm of post-punk with their upcoming LP untitled Ultra Violence. Here, they seamlessly oscillate between fast and slow tempos, high and low energy levels, and vocals that span from tense whispers to unbridledscreams. This journey takes the listener through a landscape of discordance, haunting groans, evocative spoken word passages, and industrial undertones. Over the past three years, Warm Exit has cultivated a devoted following both locally and internationally, thanks to their electrifying live performances that leave audiences in awe. Carrying the reputation of a striking live band, they are eager to storm the stage at any and every given opportunity.
