After establishing himself as one of Europe’s most distinctive voices in instrumental hip-hop, Mr. Käfer is ready to tell a different story.
His third solo album, ‘A Past Sense’, arriving via Melting Pot Music, shows a bold creative evolution from his signature lo-fi aesthetic into lush, collaborative territory that spans continents and genres.
His sixth project for Melting Pot Music marks a creative leap from the mood-driven, jazz-tinged instrumentals that built his reputation on releases like ‘Lost Reflections’ (2019), ‘Orientation’ (2020), and ‘Now/Again I’ and ‘II’ (2021, 2023). Now he's orchestrating a 14-track journey that weaves together hip-hop, soul, jazz and North African rhythms through collaborations with carefully selected artists including Novine (GER), J-Tek (US), Kenji (US) and Cloudhead (AT).
Thematically, the album explores how memory reshapes identity, questioning the gap between who we were and who we've become. The visual side comes courtesy of acclaimed photographer and art director Robert Winter, capturing this nostalgic-yet-progressive spirit.
With ‘A Past Sense’, Mr. Käfer steps out from behind the boards and into the spotlight - trading lo-fi playlist comfort and algorithm-driven streams for something deeper. A past sense, maybe. But definitely a future sound.
Coloured vinyl LP.
