DIE KÄFER
Quirky electronic experiments from the synth-pop underground.
Die Käfer represents the playful, experimental side of the archive. German-language synth-pop fragments and quirky electronic signals recovered from late-2000s sessions.
Die Käfer (The Beetles) was an intentional departure from the polished club sound. Marius and Frank wanted to experiment with analog synths and German lyricism.
The sessions, spanning 2008 to 2012, resulted in a collection of signals that are both charmingly dated and ahead of their time. These are the "hidden gems" of the archive, now being meticulously restored for a new generation of listeners.
