Already back in 1996, the four sound-fiddlers created an everblack, a true independent classic with their song «Einheitsschritt» («3 Schritte vor und 3 zurück»). With «Tod … find‘ ich gut!» (1998), «80er Jahre» (2007) and their GEWC-No. 1 «Durchbruch» (2008), the «executioners of black humour» hit the dancefloors again. Their album «Vision und Tradition» (2008) defended its No. 1-ranking in German Electronic Web Charts for several weeks, the single «John Maynard» (2014) reached the top 5 of German Alternative Charts (DAC), while the longplayer «Balance» (2014) even peaked at No. 3 of DAC. That KONTRAST cannot only be mordant but also full of feeling, finally leaked out in 1999: «Freiheit?» (recorded with female guest singer Ivi) is a touching farewell duet which consequently rose to be a mid-tempo hit in numerous clubs. The disarmingly deep look into failed relationships is also shown in the power ballad «Für immer vorbei» (2008), accompanied by a videoclip achieving more than 500,000 clicks on youtube. The compositions for the fifth album of KONTRAST were written in the wintry seclusion of a holiday village at the North Sea: «Unaufhaltsam» (which means «unstoppable») will be published on the renowned German label «Danse Macabre» on 5th of July, 2019. The uncompromisingly danceable musical realization of Erich Weinert’s arousing poem «John Schehr und Genossen» («John Schehr and his companions»), definitely a club hit, has already been released as a single in February 2019 e.g. on iTunes, amazon music and Spotify and climbed up to No. 16 on German Alternative Charts as well as to No. 7 on German Electronic Web Charts. In June, murder ballad «Plänterwald» will be published as a second single, including a powerful club-remix by Elektrostaub. «Unaufhaltsam», for the first time in the history of Kontrast not only being released on CD but also on vinyl-LP, brings it out unmistakably: Dirk, Falko, Roberto and their charming Nebelgeist still remain in 2019 what they have always been – a unique KONTRAST in the music scene.
