Christoph Umbeck, better known under his stage name "UMSE", has been running this marathon for a while now. He released eleven albums between 2005 and 2025, including three EPs and eight albums. Sometimes it was a concept album "Rheinisches Blatt", sometimes simply "Kunst für sich" and sometimes it was "Durch die Wolkendecke", to name just a few titles. In these 20 years, UMSE has collaborated with a whole host of names from the music scene, including Megaloh, Aphroe, Afrob and Masta Ace.
After UMSE's collaboration with producer legend Nottz in 2020, which led to the album "UNO", he also focused more on beat production and sampling and finally produced the record "Séparée" in 2022 completely on his own - music and lyrics are on his own as well as the organization of designs, cover artwork and the videos, as he has been releasing his music without a label since 2021 and only with the support of the distributor "Groove Attack".
2025 now sees the release of his new, now ninth album entitled "Immunsystem", which he once again produced independently in his home studio. With his own sophisticated rap style, the samples he uses and the way he flips them, his dry drums and concise basslines, UMSE has created his own world of sound that consistently picks up where the album "Séparée" ended in 2022. An uncompromising, fresh UMSE sound that reflects various other facets of his taste, life and character. The feature guests also speak for themselves. There are ten new tracks, all with a video, film away!
