South African born, Berlin resident singer-songwriter who nurtures her soul on indie folk, jazz and blues.
In the warm climate of South Africa where she was born, Alice Phoebe Lou lived a childhood full of art due to the influence of her documentary filmmaker parents. She was taking piano lessons and learned to play the guitar herself. Lou performed fire-dancing on the streets of Paris. After the period she travelled back and forth between Paris and Amsterdam, she moved to Berlin, the city where numerous musicians and artists have reinvented themselves throughout history. She started singing in the streets with her guitar and her small amplifier. In 2014 she released her debut EP ‘Momentum’ inspired by music of all styles, mainly folk, blues jazz and electronic music. Her song “Fiery Heart, Fiery Mind” from her EP was featured in the movie ‘Ayanda’ which brought back the Jury Special Award from the 2015 Los Angeles Film Festival. After her TEDx performance, she started to get offers from major record companies, yet she went her way firmly believing in the independence of music. With the revenue she made from the sales of her live album “Live at Grüner Salon”, she recorded her first studio album “Orbit” released in 2016. With the Matteo Pavesi and Jian Kellet-Liew co-produced “Orbit”, she was nominated for the German Critics Choice Award for Best Female Artist in 2016. She went on tour with the artist Rodriguez whose story we watched in “Searching for Sugar Man” which received the 2013 Academy Award for the Best Documentary Feature along with numerous others and became a favoured documentary for music and cinema lovers alike. The song ‘She’ from her 2017 EP ‘Sola’ brought the documentary ‘Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story’ the nomination for the Best Original Music Score at the Academy Awards. German techno producer Klangkuenstler’s song “Man on the Moon” where we hear Lou’s vocals has become a club hit. We shall have the privilege to listen to this beautiful voice for the first time in Istanbul as a part of her tour for ‘Paper Castles’ due to be released on March 8, 2019.
RAS is the lofi disco project of Dekel Adin, Eden Leshem, and Guy Gefen. Far from their childhood homes in rural Israel the trio came together in 2018 in Berlin to record their debut album as RAS, which was conceived over the span of a week in Dekel’s Berlin bedroom. Armed with a Tascam Portastudio 424 Tape Machine, Vintage Drum Machines, Guitars and bongos, Dekel, Eden and Guy managed to create and intricate balance between lofi soul and brighter mediterranean leaning club-disco-funk jams, ending up with a record we might mistake as a lost treasure of the early 90’s.
An angelic and powerful voice that will take you above the clouds, an indie-folk rendezvous that shall captivate your heart. If you love Agnes Obel, Julien Baker and Angel Olsen, this is a perfect match for you.
This event has an age restriction of 18.
