There are few musicians in the German pop landscape who can boast a career as rich in surprises as Jan Delay.

Jan Delay draws from five decades of (black) pop history, but plays just in the here and now. He has Daft Punk and Drake, Burna Boy and Stefflon Don, Sly & Robbie and Meek Mill in him. Jan Delay and his terrific band play with disco, trap, funk, afrobeats, ska, arena techno, reggea, rock, soul.... as only free spirits like Jan Delay & Disko No.1 can do. Jan Delay has always been a pop pig by conviction. He never shied away from the big melodies and moments, rather embraced and celebrated them and brought them into his own cosmos. Only the obvious has never interested him. On the contrary, it is precisely the small breaks and apparent contradictions in his music and artistic personality that have allowed him to remain relevant over three (!) decades, a period of time that is incomprehensible not only by hip-hop standards: from the Rote Flora to "Grün Weiße Liebe" to features with Hafti and Tretti. He still takes the political personally almost 30 years after "K.E.I.N.E". The fact that he gets away with it again and again is not only due to his unerring rhyme art and his fine sense for crisp slogans, nor to the trademark of his unique singing voice, but above all to a hard-won fact: There is simply no better live band in this country than Disko No. 1 and their stylish MC Jan Delay.
