Go nuts in the living room, get some dirty doom in your eyes and slightly intoxicated: one man band Schwierige Franz combines the meanest and the leanest of EBM, postpunk and fuzzy rock 'n roll. Minimal beats, roaring synths, hypnotising basses - Franz doesn't care, as long as it rocks.

In this livestream session from Studio The Zwarte Molen Schwierige Franz will present his first official (digital) 4-track EP: “Ein Computer, ein Auto, Ein Mann” on the spanking new Amsterdam-based label Out Of Sync Records, founded by Willem Stinissen a.k.a. Raderkraft, with a dazzling performance!

Somewhere between minimal synth, electro punk and new wave floats the irresistible sound of Raderkraft. Equally cold and catchy, playful and hypnotising. Armed with throbbing analogue synths, staccato drumcomputer beats, quirky German vocals and miraculous visuals, Raderkraft takes you from the Autobahn straight into the galaxy.

Raderkraft will take care of the warm up with a live performance of some old and new tracks!

‘Ein Computer, Ein Auto, Ein Mann’ will be available from may 15th on all portals 🤘

"Songwriter and singer Jeff Taylor, with many notable contributions to the Donny McCaslin group in recent recordings. Keyboardist Henry Hey has been deeply immersed in artistic pursuit in recent years, both as co-leader of his quartet, Forq, but also in working directly with David Bowie as orchestrator and arranger of David’s final work - Lazarus. Well-known Dutch bassist Mark Haanstra and drummer Marc Schenk have lent their vast musical talents to many famous European artists, but are also an essential part of the Dutch production of Lazarus.
This fall Test Propeller will make its live debut on Dutch stages with brand new original music."
