Schnieke, Özgür Akgül - Hediye (2024) [Hi-Res]

Schnieke is a lovely trio based in Berlin.

They will be playing the first concert following the release of their debut-album “Hediye” with the participation of two fabulous guest musicians.

Hediye has diverse influences creating a wide emotional range - sometimes dark and melancholic, sometimes wild, groovy and danceable, somewhere between jazz, dub and electro, each song surprising in its own way. Despite the variety of the individual songs, a captivating pulse runs like a thread through Schnieke's first album. Incidentally, the trio came up with the band name during a night out in a bar, when a friend explained what Berlin slang one absolutely had to know. ‘Schnieke’ means something approximating ‘snazzy’ - and perhaps they secretly wanted to flatter themselves a little! Well, shouldn't we all do that much more often?
