cristov

cristov is the percussive solo project of musician and designer Christoph Lohse. A minimalist approach gives rise to multifaceted pieces that oscillate between seating and dance floor. Futuristic electronics and mechanical synths merge with jazzy elements and pulsating rhythms.

For 20 years, Christoph has also been organising a small festival called Platzfestival in Hamburg with friends, https://www.platzfestival.de/

cristov has released music on Opal Tapes and Olo Yegussa this year and has a new album scheduled for 2026. 2023’s Defragmentierte Assoziationen on Abstrakce Records was our album of that year.
