Marteria – a German rapper in Africa

Marteria loves to travel. The Rostock-born rapper headed for South Africa to shoot videos for his new album "Roswell". The music video for the song "Aliens" is a pretty amazing sci-fi-themed experience.

Judith Holofernes - "Chaos" pop from Berlin

Holofernes was lead singer of "Wir Sind Helden" - a band that put German pop back on the charts. Now the Berlin-based artist has a new solo album "Ich bin das Chaos" - and we get a picture of her own personal chaos.

Some guys in the band are still in school, but Giant Rooks have already made a name for themselves with their critically acclaimed mix of indie-rock, folk, and electro. Lots of their recent concerts have sold out.
