New album "Orbit" out now - available on Bandcamp and all streaming platforms.
„A contemporary classic, state of the electric art." (The Wire)
„An intoxicating blend of trance grooves, spatially disorienting dub and abrasive industrial textures.“ (Jazz Journal)
JOHN ECKHARDT (bass)
VOLKER MEITZ (keyboards)
JOHN-DENNIS RENKEN (trumpet)
ERIC SCHAEFER (drums)
With their unique electro-acoustic brand of Krautrock, Dub, Jazz, Hip Hop and Soundscape THE SHREDZ have delivered albums and concerts, exciting home listeners and festival audiences alike. Schaefer, Meitz, Renken and Eckhardt are four strong and sought after musical characters, who joined forces and have been crafting their compelling and distinctive sonic-realm for many years. The band's musical process is entirely based on personal style of collective improvisation that is centered around hypnotic grooves, time and space bending atmospheres and the trance of ensemble playing.
2024 will see a collaboration with light artist Katrin Bethge, performing on video in real time using analogue materials, featuring new tracks by The Shredz. Two videos have already been released, see below!
