BIOGRAPHY
Tolcha is Sven Müller, Daniel Krämer, Lars Kirchbach and Alexander Eger — a four-person acoustic/electronic group based in Boogie Down Berlin. Their sound is best described as an ever evolving future-vintage Sci-Fi movie score with a hint of Film Noir and a heavy Dub signature. The project originally kicked off as a 3 piece around the year 2000. Since the very beginning their live shows incorporated self produced synchronized videos – a signifier for the love of cinema, which is still the main inspiration for their music. Their first EPs: Praxis, Streetvibes, Kontraste were full-on DIY affairs – recorded, engineered, mastered and packaged in-house and self distributed. Their debut Gestalt LP and the Focus EP, which featured vocalists Sasha Perera (Jahcoozi), Ras-Tweed, RQM, Rider Shafique, were the first to crack the international market thanks to repeated BBC1 radio play. To chase this release Tolcha recorded a live session entitled In-House Recordings 1 and then nailed it with yet another EP, this time featuring emcee Soom-T. Tolcha is currently finishing up sessions for their new LP entitled Neustadt.
