After an international crowdfunding campaign, Berlin based independent magazine RISIKO, which explores the contemporary German underground and alternative music scenes, has released its second issue.

The second issue explores the theme of “Krautrock”.

We’ve selected “KRAUTIE” artists from various countries and styles of music, art and fashion. By featuring their favourite things and personal stories, we aim to unravel krautrock through a slightly different perspective. Our subtopic is “COMMUNICATION”. We want to create a record of communication between fellow artists, artists x readers and RISIKO x readers. This special number from RISIKO is made to be enjoyed by those already familiar with krautrock as well as those who have never heard about it before.

＜Featured Artists＞
Camera, Claudia Skoda, Damo Suzuki, Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals), Hans-Joachim Roedelius (Cluster, Harmonia), Harald Grosskopf, Kotsuguy (Kikagaku Moyo), Manuel Göttsching (Ash Ra Tempel), Marja Burchard (Embryo), Michael Rother (NEU!, Kraftwerk, Harmonia), Milzbrandt, Sei Still, Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3, Spectrum, E.A.R), Alessio Vitelli, Hiroshi Iguchi, Rosa Kammermeier, Yuri Osuka, Will Sweeney, Oska Wald, Wolfgang Müller.

All of the text is written side by side in English and Japanese with the aim to distribute RISIKO outside of Germany. After the initial release in Germany on 29th of October 2021, we plan to distribute to our overseas audience.
