It was a pleasure for us playing at the finissage of the great fashion event that had been presenting the labels SCHAAF and Le Chateau en Couleur for more than one week in the MaximilianForum in Munich. The location was impressing and our little set of new songs was warmly welcome by our audience. This gives us great confidence for our upcoming album – which takes a little longer than expected – but it will be worth waiting for. Photos by Yves Krier.
Check out some pics from the Kinki Magazine Clubtour gig in Stuttgart in the basement of the fashionstore ‘Là pour là‘ in december 2011… Was good fun, thanks to Matthias, Maria, the Kinki-crew and the amazing crowd.
Munich-based artist and stage designer Stefan Britze realized an impressing stage concept for the release party of COLUMBUS’ “Schwarzes Gold”.
It perfectly refers to the songs source of inspiration – „Schwarzes Gold“ was written in 2010 and inspired by the incident in the gulf of Mexico. When Deepwater Horizon sank – making way for the greatest oil spill disaster in history, a clash between technological destructiveness and the vulnerability of the environment became evident.
Therefor Britze made the stage look like drowning in a vast bulk of slimy oil that is leaking from the ceiling – creating the perfect illusion of a black nothing expanding into the room – connecting the artists with their audience.
The overwhelming looks were intensified by multicolor light projections and not least by the huge 3 dimensional COLUMBUS icon protruding from the gleaming mass.

Check the prelisteners for our upcoming release on Mayolove Music – Schwarzes Gold!
Incl. great remixes by Alkalino and Sacco Vanzetti Duo. Plus a second track called Passion.
The track Schwarzes Gold actually is already over a year old, we made it when deep water horizon sunk last year, I think the track still represents that time when everybody was apalled by clash of technology and the force of nature.
Passion is a balancing act between deep and powerful chords and the positive impact discorelated music, fattened up with heavy drums, can have on the dancer.
COLUMBUS is playing live at the nHow Music-Hotel. It´s Beck’s Mix Fusion Party in Berlin on September 16, 2011.
