// FRYTZ
frytz is an up-and-coming solo project that is attracting attention for its artistic sophistication and versatility. Originally known as a producer for renowned artists such as 2lade, Tigermilch and Carlo5, Jonas Hipper has chosen to express his own music and emotion with his identity as frytz.
The focus track "Augen schwer" (feat. Carlo5) is the centrepiece of this EP. This song is a captivating depiction of that moment when the night in the city's clubs seems endless and control is slowly lost. frytz explores the dynamics of a toxic relationship that reaches its climax in the dark. Interweaving intense beats with thoughtful lyrics, the track reflects on the loss of control and the seductive pull of these nocturnal scenarios. But the EP is far more than just a single track. It is a collection of stories that get deep under your skin. Each song is a window into a new experience, be it the sentimental look back in "es ist spät" or the artistic manifesto in "schon ok".
In his unmistakable style, frytz fuses lo-fi/pop aesthetics with hip-hop influences to create a unique soundscape. His songs, from the lyrics to the production, reflect authenticity and remain unadulterated. frytz is an artist who sensitively transforms emotions and realities of life in each of his bars.

// SORIN
Sorin is a Romanian-born singer-songwriter, composer and producer who started performing in bands at a young age. He played in the support of international artists such as Khruangbin, Maps & Atlases or Charlie Cunningham. Sorin often refers to episodes of heartbreak, life lessons and the longing for harmony. In Berlin, Sorin started his solo career and is now working on his debut album with genres such as indie, folk, electronica, pop with a preference for ambient and cinematic soundscapes.
"Everything is New" is the focus track from Sorin's upcoming debut album, "While the Tides Turn." This song tells about the universal experience of embracing change, where listeners are immersed in a narrative of leaving the past behind. The chorus resonates with the question, "What does it take, to make the change you've been waiting for so long?" This track becomes an empowering anthem for those seeking strength and renewal in the face of the unknown.
