KARABA, an instrumental band based in Munich, was formed in 2014 and initially started as a jam band, drawing inspiration from acts like Embryo, Soft Machine, and Kraan. Their self-titled debut album from 2014, which incorporates elements of krautrock, psychedelia, and progressive rock,features early compositions from their musical journey. Their second album, „Schwester Mondreal“ (2018), explores eclectic and Zappa-esque musical territories while maintaining a strong focus on instrumental storytelling. Notably, it includes the over 13-minute improvisation „Ozmoze“ featuring Marja Burchard on vibraphone.

Their third studio album, „All High Ways“ (2022), consists of both previously composed and new pieces, thanks to the support of Initiative Musik. It seamlessly blends jazz-rock, krautrock, and progressive rock with Zappa-inspired elements, immersing listeners in Karaba’s unique and humor-infused musical landscapes.

The band has performed numerous concerts in Germany and abroad, firmly establishing themselves in the German psychedelic music scene. Notably, they have engaged in musical collaborations with the legendary ex-Can singer, Damo Suzuki. In the meantime, Karaba has completed additional productions. In 2020, they released the live album „Live in Vienna“ on the German Neo-Krautrock music label Adansonia Records. Additionally, they released an EP on the Berlin-based jazz label Kryptox Music, featuring their label debut and the well-known track „Der Inder,“ which served as the opening track for Kryptox’s 2020 „Kraut Jazz Futurism“ compilation. Their latest release, „Orbit Autounfall,“ on the Jazz Montez Records Compilation Vol II in 2023, offers a jazzy exploration through psychedelic sonic realms

Entstanden aus der Not heraus, sind ZUPERMOON seit 2016 auf Wegen des instrumentalen, progressiven Post-Rocks unterwegs. Zunächst jammend und improvisierend formen Zupermoon ihren eigenen Sound: nah und intim, aber auch bedrohlich und ergreifend.

Im neuen Release WHITEOUT (2026) wurde dieser Sound weiter geschärft und mit subtilen atmosphärischen Arrangements unterstützt. Die Songs sind durchzogen von emotionaler Spannung, die mitunter in brachiale, kathartische Ausbrüche mündet.
