  Sammy Kershaw

  Ask one of his countless fans – or even one of his peers, and they will tell you that Sammy Kershaw definitely qualifies as a Country Music original. In a day and age where individuality isn’t something that is sought out as much as before, when you hear a Sammy Kershaw song about heartbreak, love, or good times – you know who it is. You don’t have to be told. And, in a career that has seen some amazing highs over the past thirty- five years, the best – as they say – is yet to come.

  Neal McCoy

  Fresh from the underground, bouncing through the German hip-hop landscape with gusto and creating a great atmosphere in the process – Rutger has done this like a pro in recent years. Having grown up in the serene community of Passau, the DIY MC, real name Jakob, raps about life in a small town, parties and hedonism in all its facets and colours over juicy techno beats in the 150bpm range. Tracks such as ‘Roll’ or ‘Jukebox’ (2024) prove that, despite his newcomer status, he’s already thought through his formula for a powerful club anthem in detail and can play it in many variations. Rutger has also been able to slot various features with other names from the German festival scene such as Jimbo, DJ Susi or JuleZ into the relevant playlists. Whatever this guy touches quickly becomes a well-kept tip for excessive partying or just a relaxed day at the lake with friends. The collab with Liebestrunken under the divine title ‘Entspannter Hase’ (2024) or the latest single ‘Freitag auf Montag Freestyle’ (2025) continue the glorious march of Rutger's positive vibe - a vibe that is infectious and celebrates the moment.
