BLECHSCHLOSSNÄCHTE 2025: OY - World Wide We

In the organizer's words:

First the world moved closer together, then the borders were drawn up again. That's the bad news. But the good news is that OY are not playing the game.

Singer/keyboardist Joy Frempong and producer/drummer Melodydreamer have been making music across all musical, linguistic and cultural borders for a decade. The Berlin-based duo with roots in Ghana and Switzerland have thrilled audiences on stages around the world, whether at festivals such as Eurockéenes in France, Rec Beat in Brazil or club shows in downtown Cairo and New York. 2022 saw them on tour in Europe with Colombian band Bomba Estéreo as a support act. It is therefore only logical that the title of their current album is "World Wide We". Polyglot negotiations of political and personal themes are musically realized. From electronica afrobeats and avant-pop to hip-hop, trap and jazz - OY's music is more versatile and unified, stylistically more open and self-contained than ever. "World Wide We" is an open invitation to everyone who wants to dance all clichés to the ground at the duo's celebrated concerts.
