GLP Fills the Space for German Hip-Hop Sensations 01099

01099 are currently one of the most successful up-and-coming rap/hip-hop acts from Germany. The quartet, who actually appear mostly in a trio formation, are perfectly geared towards today’s younger generation, hitting a nerve with their sensitive lyrics. In 2021, the successful EP Dachfenster was released, and the following year the four musicians from Dresden (01099 is the postal code of Dresden Neustadt) produced the LP, Altbau. Recently, their almost completely sold-out tour, Schnelle Brille, came to an end. Designer Felix Seidel developed a simple but very adaptable light and stage design for the 01099 tour, using the countless creative possibilities of the GLP JDC1 and impression X4 Bar 20.Read More »GLP Fills the Space for German Hip-Hop Sensations 01099
