For over 20 years, Kalipo has operated in the dynamic space between electronics and emotion, club culture and songwriting, politics and poetry. As a producer and co-founder of projects like the legendary electro-punk band Frittenbude – with whom he won the 1LIVE Krone, Germany’s most prestigious radio award – and the dark-disco trio Dina Summer along with Local Suicide. With “Alles”, Kalipo releases his fifth solo album – and perhaps his most personal to date. Blending dark club energy, playful indie songwriting, and analog DIY production, the album boldly continues his artistic journey: rougher, edgier, yet always heartfelt. The warm melancholy of earlier works meets cool beats, analog grit, inner turmoil, and a significantly increased vocal presence. It sounds like a new beginning. Here, Kalipo emerges as songwriter, producer, and performer all in one. His sound – which he describes as Psychedelic Disco Punk – merges punk’s attitude with the force of club music and the emotional depth of classic song structures. Stylistically, he moves between dark disco, post-punk, EBM, indie sleaze, techno, electroclash, and songwriting. Again and again, he combines synth arpeggios, pounding four-on-the-floor drums, and shimmering guitars with catchy vocal hooks, distilling the essence of a sound deeply rooted in Berlin.
