* SPIRAL DRIVE *(AT, DE) Psychedelic RockSince bursting onto the neo-psych scene with their 2019 debut album Unity, SPIRAL DRIVE, the visionary project of German-Austrian multi-instrumentalist and music producer Raphaël Neikes, has evolved into one of Europe’s most dynamic and boundary-pushing psychedelic acts.
Their second full-length, Visions in Bloom (2022), anchored by the multi-million-streamed single Space Train, cemented their reputation.
The album fuses psychedelic rock, alternative, psych-pop, grunge, and indie into a dazzling, cohesive whole, earning comparisons to renowned artists like Tame Impala, King Gizzard, Queens of the Stone Age, MGMT, Nirvana and even Pink Floyd, yet existing defiantly outside any one genre. Alongside collaborators like Ben McLeod (All Them Witches) and Lord Fascinator (Children Collide), Neikes led a creative charge that has resonated across Europe, with a growing fanbase in the UK, USA, and Australia.
Last year their Beatles cover Tomorrow Never Knows, which features original artwork by Klaus Voormann (famously associated with the album cover of Revolver), earned acclaim across alternative press and far beyond their core fan base.While recent releases continue to attract international attention, work is underway on two studio albums: one full motorik-Krautrock exploration called REISE, the result of an intense one-week studio session with Lord Fascinator. REISE is slated for release in April 2026.
Additionally, Neikes has been working eagerly on a follow-up LP to Visions in Bloom, which is targeting the 2nd half of 2026. Both projects are currently in different stages of production.Following extensive touring in Europe and South Africa, and a furious Rockpalast live set in 2024, SPIRAL DRIVE launched their headline Green Vanilla Tour in the first half of 2025 with 23 passionate shows through seven countries, including Germany, France, the Netherlands, and the UK.
*KALK¥L*(DE) Psychedelic Indie
We’re KALK¥L—two friends from Mannheim making psychedelic indie with soul in it. Most days it’s the same ritual: coffee, a loop that feels right, guitar tones until the room goes warm, and vocals somewhere between vulnerable falsetto and a raw indie shout. We like sounds you can almost touch: fuzzy guitars, Mellotron haze, bass that hugs the floor.
Our songs sit between intimacy and release. “Losing My Head” is a good example—written when closeness felt brittle and we were trying to hold it together. We share things as they grow; sometimes it’s a duo, sometimes a full band, but the heart stays the same.
If you love analog warmth, indie-soul colors, and melodies that stick around, welcome in. We’re glad you found us.
*MODULA NATION*(AT) Progressive Rock
Modula Nation is a distinctive fusion of experimental-psychedelic-space rock combined with heavy industrial riffs, complex rhythms and tight grooves. The Group was formed in Graz and is one of the most promising rock bands of the Austrian underground scene.
The progressive rock quartet from Graz delivers pulsating space rock odysseys that take their audience on a psychedelic journey into various musical worlds.
Modula Nation has had the honour to share the stage with legendary artists such as: Molotov, Tito & Tarantula, Mother's Cake, KMFDM and Skinny Puppy among others.
The project sprouted out of previous musical combos of singer, multi-instrumentalist Heinz Wallner and fellow bassist and long time collaborator Ricardo Paz. Their friendship and love for a wide range of musical genres combined with brainstorming all night jam sessions aided to develop the bands individual musical sound.
The recording and production phase of Modula Nation's long awaited debut album titled "THE RIFT" is finally complete. The album will be released in Autumn 2026 via Tonzonen Records.
