Dahaus formed in Berlin in 2013 around singer-songwriter Max Raabe and guitarist Jonas Pfetzing. Their music pulls from electronica, rock, and hip-hop, though it's not really about blending genres. It's more about the directness of songs like 'Freedom,' which became an anthem for some listeners.
That song, along with 'Louise,' shows how they work with straightforward melodies and lyrics that lean toward advocacy. They've released albums like 'Freiheit' in 2015, 'Schwarzmarkt' in 2017, 'Niemand' in 2019, and 'Sturm und Drang' in 2022. The band's lineup includes Philip Amthor on bass and Max Freund on drums.
Their outspoken approach has drawn criticism at times, but they've generally kept making music on their own terms. They play live across Europe with a focus on energetic performances rather than studio polish.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
