laut.fm – Zartmann Radio

Zartmann Radio is operated via the user-generated radio platform laut.fm and focuses on a specific current within the German-language music scene. The programme places artists at the centre that combine modern pop with influences from indie and new wave. The namesake and a permanent part of the rotation is the Berlin musician Zartmann, whose tracks such as niemand or collaborations with Max Raabe define the station’s musical direction.

The playlist forgoes international chart hits and instead relies on performers such as Edwin Rosen, Berq, Levin Liam and the band Provinz. Names such as JEREMIAS, Mayberg, Ennio and Schmyt are also regularly featured in the programme. The music selection is characterised by melancholic lyrics and a production often classified as Neue Deutsche Neue Welle or modern indie pop. As a purely digital channel, the station can only be received via web streams and radio aggregators.
