Fritz Kalkbrenner has released his full-length album ‘Third Place,’ exploring deeper emotional and sonic territories while maintaining a strong connection to the dancefloor.

‘Third Place’ invites listeners into a world where self-discovery and collective energy converge. The LP spans a diverse musical landscape, blending house, techno, breakbeat, and dance-pop. This eclectic mix balances euphoric highs with introspective moments, reflecting its inspiration: the sociological concept of “the third place”—spaces where creativity and community intersect.

Pre-released singles like ‘Into the Night’ and ‘The Telepath’ have already gained popularity, showcasing Kalkbrenner’s skill in fusing soulful vocals with Chicago house and breakbeat influences. The album features the collaboration ‘Playing Games’ with Coach Harrison, alongside tracks like ‘It Ain’t Over,’ ‘High Line,’ and ‘Home,’ each delving into various house and techno styles.

Kalkbrenner’s journey began with the global hit ‘Sky & Sand,’ a collaboration with his brother Paul. Since then, he has become a fixture at major music festivals and venues worldwide, including Awakenings, Lollapalooza, and Sónar.
