ZEMENT is an Experimental-Psych-Rock-Trio, consisting of the multi instrumentalists Philipp Hager (Guitar, Synthesizers, Saxophone, Vocals), Christian Büdel (Drums, Percussion) and Florian Helleken (Bass, FX), who combines elements of Neo-Krautrock, Neo-Psychedelia, Noise-Rock & different types of contemporary Electronic Dance Music and the spirit of Free-Jazz into a unique eclectic sound-mix, set to take the listeners on a mesmerizing sonic journey!
Drawing on influences from the early electronic, Autobahn-inspired works of Kraftwerk, and the hypnotic repetition of Krautrock legends Neu! and CAN, as well as contemporary acts like Trans Am, Osees, Rapture, Metz or Cave, ZEMENT have crafted a unique hybrid sound that feels both nostalgic and futuristic. The rhythms revolve and the synthesizers swirl. Combined with psychedelic fuzzy guitars, cosmic Saxophone sounds, surrealistic vocals and pulsating drums and percussion, this music manufactory brings you a new hot sound with a psych-rock-twist, that you can dance, bang your head and flow away to. The result is an incredibly rich range of sounds that retain a pulsating energy, especially live.
Their last records were released by Berlin based quality label CRAZYSANE RECORDS and established ZEMENT as one of the finest contemporary Psych- and Experimental-Rock Acts in Germany at the moment, recognised internationally. Set to take Zement’s exploration of sound even further, a new album (expect more fuzz, more noise, more rIffs) is already in the making.Constant touring in the last couple of years brought them the reputation as an excellent and energetic live band. They found themself on tours through Europe and the UK, where the band shared stages with bands like Russian Circles, Slift or Minami Deutsch andalso played tons of club-solo shows. In 2026 the band will come back to the UK and Scandinavia for some concerts and will also play selected club and festival shows in Germany and Europe! The endless meditation on the architecture of mind and the movement of bodies continues! Join us on this journey!
