British musician and composer Sir Paul McCartney has had an indelible influence on the pop music of the 20th century. We’ve created a morphing video to mark the former Beatle’s 75th birthday.

Kraftklub: successful indie rockers
Kraftklub are unstoppable. The cheeky indie rockers from Chemnitz have climbed the top of the charts with their third album release – unseating even Germany’s pop princess Helene Fischer from the number one position.

Frank Dellé: Afro-German reggae
A singer in the popular dancehall band Seeed, Frank Dellé is also a successful solo artist. Born in Berlin, he grew up in Germany and Ghana. We asked him how that has influenced him personally and professionally.

HIT: Alle Farben feat. Janieck - Little Hollywood
For his latest hit single, Berlin DJ Alle Farben recruited the help of the singer Janieck, from the Netherlands. The track is called “Little Hollywood.” Fittingly, the video for it was shot in California.

TIP: Clueso - Achterbahn
Clueso’s new single is a hymn to aimlessness. And allegedly, the video was made without a basic concept behind it. The singer-songwriter from Erfurt flew to Los Angeles and just waited to see what would happen.
