88:Komaflash are Omega Takeshi (MC), Mars (bass), Aqua Luminus III. (beats) und Al Rock (turntables). Since their debut EP »Tapeflash Eins« in 2000, the Munich-based crew is the thorn in rap materialism’s flesh. After a slew of smaller releases, the four-piece released the two albums »Verteidigung der Zukunft« (»Defence of the Future«) and »Untergang /// Wiederaufbau« (»Demise /// Reconstruction«) in 2005 and 2009 retrospectively, showcasing their demanding and refined approach to rap music. 2019 sees the release of »Eremiten im Wohnzimmer« (»Living Room Hermits«), the band’s first record after ten years. It’s a sharp-edged and complex summary of the status quo and what’s wrong with it.
