Whoever doesn't know ALPKAN has missed out. The band from Perg stands for new folk music that unleashes various rhythms from the breadth of their sound between the Alps and the Balkans. These rhythms go straight to the heart and legs.

Ignaz Tschinön is among the most versatile musicians of his generation: a singer, multi-instrumentalist, and storyteller with a keen sense for catchy melodies and pointed lyrics. With his song “Spompanadln,” he delivers a musical snapshot that uniquely combines humor, everyday poetry, and musical skill.

“Spompanadln” is a winking commentary on all the little distractions, excuses, and loving quirks that shape our everyday lives. Tschinön packages these observations in a charming mix of pop, folk, and Austrian song heritage – carried by his distinctive voice and a warm, acoustic sound. Whether guitar, mandolin, or percussion: The multi-instrumentalist constructs his soundscape layer by layer without losing the lightness that makes his music so immediately accessible.

With fine humor, musical finesse, and a dose of self-irony, Ignaz Tschinön shows that “Spompanadln” can be not just a song title but a way of life – a loving wink to all who know that it's the little peculiarities that make life interesting. A title that sticks. An artist who touches.

Azure is here! After "Caramel" [2020] and "Chrome" [2021], now AZURE. With this, the musical triplets from Ulrich Drechsler's large, multi-disciplinary music workshop LIMINAL ZONE are complete. In search of new forms of expression, work began in 2018 on a club format that would bring together all the ideas and inspirations gathered over the decades and should be completely live implementable. Positioned at the threshold between electronic club music, trip hop, dancefloor trance, drum and bass, jazz blasts, and film music. The work on AZURE took almost 5 years. A lot of music was written, discarded, new line-ups were tried out and questioned, and a variety of instruments were experimented with. The result is music of an imaginary blockbuster.

Like a natural force, the AZURE Trio takes the stage and asserts its claim to define its own personal vision of club sound. A rush for the audience. One will dance, will be able to discover the infinite, and sink into it. With AZURE, Ulrich once again evades all common styles and genres. Thinking in boxes is foreign to him.

The Tyrolean drummer Raphael Keuschnigg and the Viennese bass icon Oliver Steger form the musical foundation of AZURE. Together they deliver the bone-shaking, relentless beats and basses that do not allow the listener to remain still.

Enjoy!

Roundabout is an Austrian jazz quartet that, with its dynamic blend of neo-soul, R’n’B, and modern jazz, is among the most exciting newcomers in the young domestic scene. The four musicians – Moritz Lindner (drums), Henrik Stöllinger (bass), Alexander Danninger (keys), and Manú Kreutzer (saxophone) – came together at Pop Borg Linz and are now studying at the Jazz Institute of Bruckner University.

With their energetic yet finely nuanced sound, the band has quickly made a name for itself. Their debut EP "Sidequest," released in 2025, showcases Roundabout as a collective that combines groove, joy of playing, and compositional maturity. Live, the group impresses with organic improvisations, strong ensemble cohesion, and a modern sonic landscape that excites across genres.

Roundabout is considered one of the most promising young voices in Austrian jazz – independent, precise, and full of musical curiosity.

Politically incorrect as ever, Trio Lepschi combines the pitch-black tradition of Viennese songs with musical influences from all directions. Whether jazz, folk songs, chanson, or improvised soundplay – everything flows into their unmistakable mix.

What emerges is a musical experience that cannot be pigeonholed: sharply seasoned with couplets, humor, banter, and a good dose of cheek.

Wolfgang Muthspiel is one of the most significant Austrian jazz guitarists and composers of his generation. Born in 1965 in Judenburg, he began his musical career initially as a classical violinist before switching to guitar. His studies took him to Graz, and later to the renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he further developed his stylistic diversity between jazz, classical, and improvised music.

Muthspiel has worked with international luminaries such as Gary Burton, Brian Blade, Brad Mehldau, Ambrose Akinmusire, and the Wolfgang Muthspiel Trio, as well as his quartet, which has completed world-renowned concert tours. His music is characterized by lyrical melody, harmonic sophistication, and an exceptionally clear sonic language that makes him distinctive both as a soloist and as an ensemble leader.

In addition to his work as a guitarist, Muthspiel is also active as a composer for ensemble and orchestral works and founded the label Material Records. Today, he is considered one of the defining musicians in European jazz, regularly releasing on ECM Records and appearing at international festivals.

As songs like "Funka fliaga" or "I han di gera" conquered the charts in the Alpine region in the mid-nineties, everyone was surprised by the dialect that many people simply could not distinctly categorize as Tyrolean, Bavarian, or Vorarlbergian.

But no matter whether one can understand every word or not - the melodies are earworms that one cannot get out of their ears.
The singer-songwriter duo Margit & Toni Knittel can be experienced from time to time in the small two-person setup - simply just 2 voices and 2 guitars.
Nothing more - but also nothing less!

However, when it says "BLUATSCHINK plays BLASSCHINK" – then the couple from the Lechtal has brought in reinforcements. There stands a large group on stage and provides evidence that the Bluatschink songs are also made for this variant. Depending on the lineup, up to 10 musicians are at work, and one can be sure that the songs will blow through the concert halls of the country like a fresh, rambunctious mountain wind.

And what has always been customary with Bluatschink:
The audience starts singing along after just a few bars!
Dialect or not - there is simply no holding back!
The arrangements of the songs are what one is used to from the radio in full formation: In addition to the Austropop sound with electric guitar, drums, bass, and keyboard, top musicians from the brass music sector also join in.
And musically, Johannes Bär directs this lineup – someone known throughout the country from HMBC.

Between humor, soul, and nostalgia: 5/8erl in Ehr’n celebrate 20 years of unmistakable Viennese sound culture – charming, grooving, and full of life.

For two decades, 5/8erl in Ehr’n have shaped the local music scene with their distinctive "Viennese Soul." What started as an insider tip with groovy dialect songs and echoes of Wienerlied has long become Austrian pop culture: hits like Siasse Tschick, Badeschluss, or Vaporizer are already classics.

Max Gaier, Robert Slivovsky, Miki Liebermann, Hanibal Scheutz, and Clemens Wenger make music somewhere between soul, jazz, Wienerlied, and pop – "as if Stevie Wonder had smoked a Sachertorte," wrote Bayerischer Rundfunk once. Cheers to 5/8erl in Ehr’n – the city stage looks forward to a festive anniversary concert!
