Oswald

A match made in heaven: dreamy techno mixed with German-language, melancholic indie pop—that’s probably the best way to describe OSWALD’s music. The quartet was formed in the capital city of Berlin at the end of 2023 and has been wowing audiences ever since with both their original songs and club-ready versions of tracks by other artists such as Cro (“Ein Teil”) and Nena (“irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann”). The fact that OSWALD always keeps their fans in mind is evident, if nothing else, by their decision to release a remix of their debut single “nachts wach”—complete with a preview at a live show and a planned release. Although the band has only released a few singles so far, they embarked on their first tour—which sold out immediately—in early 2026 as new additions to ARD’s New Music Hotlist 2026.
