800 ISSUE MUSIKEXPRESS – THE BIG ANNIVERSARY

Then someone else would say that print is dead! Despite the supposed omnipotence of algorithms, MUSIKEXPRESS has been defending its regular place at the kiosk for more than 50 years, where it has been since July 14th can be found in his 800th robe.

MUSIKEXPRESS started in 1969 as an independent, German version of the Dutch model. As Germany’s oldest music magazine, it has long since become an icon: MUSIKEXPRESS explains the pop-cultural present, builds bridges to the past and looks to the future.

For the anniversary of our 800th edition, it should be about what leads us to music. That’s why we’re dedicating our anniversary edition to 80 albums that changed our lives.

40 regular authors of the magazine and 40 musicians such as Tocotronic, Thees Uhlmann, Ilgen-Nur, Wanda, Noga Erez, Isolation Berlin, Calexico, Drangsal and many more write about records after which nothing was the same: from the Beatles to Bowie to Florence and Kendrick Lamar. Living pop culture – there is a lot to (re)discover!
