Agitation Free - Live in Berlin

Experience the raw energy of Agitation Free, the pioneering experimental progressive Krautrock band from Berlin, captured live on December 1, 2025, at the Kesselhaus in Berlin's Kulturbrauerei. This recording features classic Agitation Free tracks such as 'Laila,' 'Rucksturz,' and 'You Play for Us Today,' alongside material from their latest album, 'Momentum.'

Formed in 1967 amidst the unique atmosphere of a divided Berlin, Agitation Free became a crucible for musical innovation, embodying 'movement, unrest, and change.' They were instrumental in the development of the 'Berlin School' of electronic music, with early collaborations at the Electronic Beat Studio influencing contemporaries like Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra Tempel. The band served as a vital platform for talents such as Christopher 'Chris' Franke and Axel 'Ax' Genrich.

While their studio albums 'Malesch' (1972) and '2nd' (1973) are considered genre milestones, Agitation Free truly came alive on stage. Their concerts were immersive, avant-garde events, blending liquid light shows and experimental films with hypnotic, extended instrumental improvisations. This live recording showcases the current lineup, including founding members Lutz 'Luul' Graf-Ulbrich and Burghard Rausch, alongside Michael Hoenig, who remains the band's 'spiritual leader,' complemented by Daniel Cordes, Axel Heilhecker, and Tim Sund.
