Hip hop meets swing à la Gatsby
Turn old into new! The Hamburg band Goldmeister (Chris Dunker and Philipp Ohleyer) have been doing this since 2018. Goldmeister mix the swing of the Golden Twenties à la Gatsby with modern German hip hop. The result feels as if Goldmeister have found an elixir that has been on hand for at least twenty years, but no one dared to touch. As if by magic, the songs penned by Peter Fox, Fanta 4, Fettes Brot, Jan Delay and others combine with cheerful broadsides of brass, banjo and piano to create a future mix that is as organic as it is virulent and upmarket. In the twenties of the 21st century, the aim is to formulate the party sound of the future for dancing on the volcano. Goldmeister have found this sound.
With their two albums "Alles Gold" and "Willkommen in den Zwanzigern!", Goldmeister have already been guests on various TV shows, including "Willkommen bei Carmen Nebel", "My hit, your song" ProSieben, on Andrea Kiewel's ZDF Fernsehgarten, on ZDF Morgenmagazin and at the RBB Elblandfestspiele. They thrilled visitors at the Brandenburg Gate for the World Cup Fan Mile as well as at the same venue for the ZDF New Year's Eve Gala and were also represented at major events in Vienna and Switzerland. Goldmeister have also appeared on stage at numerous major cultural and jazz festivals and most recently they provided the German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier with a great performance at the Federal Press Ball.
There is currently only one concert planned with them here in the north this year:
Goldmeister at Vietgest Castle!
