总部位于柏林的乐队鲍比·劳施(Bobby Rausch)历经九年精心打造,其独特且毫不妥协的音乐风格魅力丝毫不减。实际上,这个乐队不断丰富着他们的曲目库,稳步积累着动力,并在全球范围内确立了自己作为一支真正不可忽视的音乐力量的地位。该乐队扎根于柏林声名远扬的电子音乐场景,对爵士乐(涵盖其当下的所有表现形式)、嘻哈音乐、节拍文化以及更多音乐类型有着明显的偏好。作为一个三人组合,他们在现场演出中堪称一支绝对的劲旅,拥有足够的灵活性以适应不同的场合。无论是在音乐节的主舞台上,还是在更为私密的俱乐部环境中,鲍比·劳施都能以同样的沉着自信掌控局面,事实证明,无论在何种环境下,他们都能迅速成为观众的最爱。
鲍比·劳施的音乐本质上具有自发性,其灵感既来源于数字音乐领域,也来源于模拟音乐领域。他们的音乐以即兴创作和实验为特点,融合了和声与失真效果,始终处于动态变化之中,绝非一成不变,而是不断发展演变,因此,他们的音乐无疑是其所处即时环境的产物。就如同柏林这座城市一样,他们的音乐是多种风格的融合,反映出从城市的破败到繁华等多种多样的风貌。音乐的编排丰富而紧凑,但同时又总能留出呼吸的空间。逃避现实当然是一种选择,但潜在的理念是,当你直面音乐时,美好的事情就会发生。这是一个简单的比喻,用来描述这个乐队不知疲倦、直面挑战的创作方式,他们致力于创造出让观众无法忽视的作品。
鲍比·劳施乐队成立于2015年,由卢茨·斯特伦(Lutz Streun)演奏低音单簧管、奥列格·霍尔曼(Oleg Hollmann)演奏次中音萨克斯、尼科·施塔尔曼(Nico Stallmann)演奏鼓,他们运用大量的现场电子设备和音效,营造出极具舞蹈性的效果。这三位接受过古典音乐训练的爵士音乐家最初是在荷兰阿纳姆求学期间相识,最终决定携手合作,从而放大了他们各自的能力,并将他们独特的音乐理念汇聚成一个在舞台上无所不能的形象。鲍比·劳施乐队经常向毫无防备的观众释放出源源不断的音波,早已证明了自己的价值。他们在2020年发行了首张LP专辑《肥皂》(“SOAP”),广受赞誉,并在2021年推出了同样精彩的EP专辑《隐藏》(“Hidden”),进一步巩固了他们的地位。
2025年,该乐队在九十天唱片公司发行了他们的第二张全长专辑《石头与星星》。在专辑的两首强力先行曲《雨的事实》和《大西洋》的预热下,鲍比·劳施乐队再次展现了他们在沉稳与耐力方面的精湛技艺:这张包含十首曲目的器乐史诗专辑以《召唤》开场,激烈的鼓点、刺耳的号角声以及难以辨认的插入音交织在一起,这首长达六分钟的激昂之作明显为随后的音乐冲击定下了基调。同名曲目《石头与星星》从这里延续,将凶猛的贝斯线与极具推进力的鼓点相结合,直入主题。更为舒缓的《电视上的12个夜晚》节奏稍缓,让听众有机会在旋律的装饰音中重新找回平衡,之后《英式甜点》回归更高的节奏,释放出无可否认的放克律动。接下来,《二十年战争》重新响起,在日常的单调乏味与稍纵即逝的希望之间转换,随后被充满活力、适合俱乐部氛围的《激进相遇的化学反应》所取代。接着是前面提到的《大西洋》,其强劲、稳定的节奏起伏以及近乎颂歌般的色彩,而《虎月》则进一步增强了音乐的节奏感,为《雨的事实》那令人愉悦的滴答声铺平了道路,旋律如钟摆般摇曳却毫不减弱。用一首轻松、深情的翻唱自戴佩妮模式(Depeche Mode)的《享受寂静》来为这场激动人心的音乐之旅画上圆满的句号似乎再合适不过了。
柏林的音乐强队鲍比·劳施体现了先锋派的音乐倾向,始终在最大限度地发挥其潜力,精心编排着令人惊叹的音乐表演,其成员之间的化学反应、无穷无尽的创造力以及大胆的音乐才华在爵士乐精神的凝聚下得以充分展现。他们的现场表演令人叹为观止,而他们带到舞台上的能量和耐力更是无穷无尽。这张专辑由蒂尔曼·霍普夫(Tilman Hopf,曾与弦理论乐队(The String Theory)、何塞·冈萨雷斯(José González)、布哈拉乐队(Bukahara)合作)参与混音制作,三人组合再次成功地捕捉到了音乐中的灵感火花,将俱乐部中充满活力的氛围带入了录音室,让听众有机会反复聆听并细细品味其中的细节。《石头与星星》成功地将城市日常生活中的喧嚣与自然的变幻无常以及仰望星空的奇妙之处并置在一起,引领听众踏上一场值得一试的狂野之旅。请放心,这些音乐引擎才刚刚开始轰鸣。

Nine years in the making, the uncompromising sound signature of Berlin-based outfit Bobby Rausch has lost none of its allure. If anything, the group continues to add to its repertoire, steadily gaining momentum and establishing itself as a veritable musical force to be reckoned with on a global scale. Rooted in the city’s infamous electronic music scene with an audible penchant for jazz – in all its current manifestations – hip hop, beat culture and beyond, the three-piece is an absolute juggernaut on the live circuit, versatile enough to adapt to the occasion. Able to command festival main stages and more intimate club environments with the same aplomb, Bobby Rausch have proven to be an instant crowd favourite no matter the setting.
Spontaneous in nature, inspired by both the digital and the analog realms of production, marked by improvisation and experimentation, harmony and distortion, their music is always in motion, never static, always becoming and, as such, an undeniable product of their immediate surroundings. Not unlike the city of Berlin, their sound is an amalgam of styles, mirroring a multitude of topographies from urban squalor to splendour, dense in composition yet always leaving room to breathe. Escapism is most certainly an option, but the underlying notion is that beautiful things do happen, when you face the music. It’s a simple metaphor to describe this band’s tireless in-your-face approach to creating something that audiences will be unable to ignore.
Founded in 2015, Bobby Rausch is the high-octane, wind-powered vessel of Lutz Streun on bass clarinet, Oleg Hollmann on baritone sax and Nico Stallmann on drums, incorporating an arsenal of live electronics and FX to danceable effect. The three classically-trained jazz musicians initially crossed paths during their studies in Arnhem, Netherlands, and eventually decided to team up, thus amplifying their individual abilities and funnelling their unique vision into one omnipotent on-stage persona. Sending unrelenting sound waves through unsuspecting crowds on the regular, Bobby Rausch have long since proven their worth, releasing their debut LP “SOAP” to popular acclaim in 2020 and backing that up in 2021 with their equally stunning EP “Hidden”.
2025 sees the group unveil its sophomore full-length “Stones & Stars” on Ninety Days Records. Heralded by the powerful album precursors “The Fact of Rain” and “Atlantic”, Bobby Rausch deliver yet another master class in poise and stamina: The ten-track instrumental epos opens with the hard-hitting drums, blaring horns and indiscernible interjections of “Calling”, a six-minute belter that audibly sets the tone for the ensuing onslaught. Title track “Stones & Stars” takes it from there, pairing a vicious bass line with a propulsive drum beat that cuts right to the chase. The more viscous “12 NT on TV” dials it down a notch, giving listeners a chance to regain their footing over melodic flourishes, before “Zuppa Inglese” unleashes its undeniably funky groove in a return to higher grounds. Next up, “Twenty Years of War” thumps back into action, shifting between routine drudgery and flitting promise, only to be relieved by the effervescent, club-ready “Chemistry of a Radical Encounter”. Enter the aforementioned “Atlantic”, with its vigorous, unwavering ebb and flow and borderline anthemic hue, as “Tiger Moon” proceeds to deliver even more bounce to the ounce, paving the way to the welcome pitter-patter of “The Fact of Rain”, swaying like a pendulum though not letting up. It seems only fitting that a laidback, emotive cover of Depeche Mode’s “Enjoy the Silence” should bring the rousing affair to a resonant close.
Reflecting avant-garde tendencies, Berlin powerhouse Bobby Rausch is consistently maximising its potential, orchestrating breathtaking displays of chemistry, inexhaustible creativity and daring musicality held together by the spirit of jazz. Their live performances are a sight to behold, while the energy and endurance they bring to the stage are boundless. Produced alongside Tilman Hopf (The String Theory, José González, Bukahara) on mixing duties, the trio once again manages to catch lightning in a bottle, bringing those same club-fueled dynamics to the studio, giving listeners the chance to hit repeat and hone in on the details. “Stones & Stars” successfully juxtaposes the rough and tumble of everyday life in the city with the capriciousness of nature and the wonders of stargazing on a wild ride worth taking. Rest assured, these engines are only just revving up.
