We are Arcane Allies – a hypnotic krautrock trio moving between psychedelic rock, electronic improvisation, and driving rhythms.

The band was founded in 2016 by Christiana Bonhaus (Theremin) and Sidney Jaffe (Drums).

Inspired by legends like Can, Neu!, Tangerine Dream, and Moon Duo, the project took its current shape in 2017 with the addition of Joel Jaffe (guitar). Since then, we've been continuously evolving our sound – somewhere between spherical, repetitive, and energetic.

References: With over 300 shows in more than 14 countries (including Germany, USA, UK, Portugal, France, Switzerland, Kosovo, and more), Arcane Allies are among the active touring acts in the European psych and krautrock scene.

Festival appearances include: Burg Herzberg Festival (Germany) Monsters of Psych (Nürnberg) Off The Radar (Bremen) Alterna Sounds (Münster) Discography: Three studio albums and a split release with fellow psych band Kombynat Robotron – available digitally and on vinyl.

In 2026, we’re celebrating our 10-year anniversary.
