THE ESSENCE

Available as:

CD & 12” Vinyl and digital

An album like an archive of personal states. Created over several years, partly in the studio, partly in a Berlin apartment somewhere between mid-century modern and the 1970s, this unique atmosphere is deeply imprinted on the music, making "THE ESSENCE" Kalkbrenner's most personal album yet.

The sample – once featured on countless UK rave compilations in the ’90s – is, for Kalkbrenner, apiece of scene history in a new context. Ninety-Two is not retro nostalgia, but a what-if scenario:“The track sounds as if that sound had simply continued evolving to the present day withoutinterruption.” Stripped-down, almost instrumental, and grounded in the now, Ninety-Two is a tributeto a sound that never truly disappeared. A track like a lost memory, and at the same time, a boldstatement marking the start of the new album 'THE ESSENCE' — Kalkbrenner’s first album since Partsof Life (2018), set for release in October.

This is KABELMANN. These are his cables. And this is his story. In a two part music short film, we follow Kabelmann on his search for belonging. From the forest to society, from aggression to love and back again, Kabelmann makes his way through our world. His cables hold him back, until they don’t. But is it enough to save his life?

Kabelmann is part love story, part odyssey, and part bloodbath. The story is inspired by the creative process of the artist himself, Paul Kalkbrenner.

A music short by Mother Berlin, Smuggler and Zauberberg. Starring Paul Kalkbrenner, Kevin Howarth and Maja Bloom.
