STUDNITZKY // EUPHORIA

STUDNITZKY is back - with KY!, an epic album and a superband that pushes boundaries. Jazz, classical and club sensibilities fuse into a handcrafted vision with depth and impact.

After an intense chapter as an XJAZZ maker and enabler for others, STUDNITZKY's creative energy now explodes in a work that brings it all together: Multi-instrumentalism, genre-busting and emotional depth. In the process, it becomes clear what distinguishes him in addition to his music: the gift of connecting people and bodies of sound - and creating something greater from it.

The music grooves intensely and hypnotically. The melodies are pure beauty - raw, deep, touching. The band is a collective with the power of a soloist - and soloists with the intelligence of a collective. A supergroup of the German scene.

Is that jazz? It has won the ECHO Jazz award and played at all the world's major festivals.Is it classical music? The Odesa Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra plays on the album, and yes - he also received the Opus Klassik.

And it grooves like Berlin - infused with minimal techno, an organic club feel, but still 100% handmade. Call it what you will - but it's more than music.The collaboration with the Odesa Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra is more than a gesture - it is a project that grew in Odesa in the midst of the war and has left an emotional mark: on the audience in Ukraine, in Germany - and in STUDNITZKY's music.

KY! is a musical uprising. A response to the darkness. A radical commitment to beauty and truth - and to the power that is only born in togetherness.
