Prepare to be swept away by the intoxicating creativity of ÄTNA with their highly anticipated new album, Lucky Dancer. Recorded in the enchanting locales of Motril (Andalusia, Spain), Limoux (southern France), and Bali (Indonesia), this album showcases Inéz and Demian’s remarkable ability to meld jamming escapades with imaginative improvisation.
In a parallel endeavour, the duo meticulously crafted their cinematic sound with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, one of the world’s finest orchestras. This collaboration adds a rich layer to Lucky Dancer, exemplifying the duo’s genius in fusing electro elements with handcrafted music.

Within the album lies a profound ambivalence—juxtaposing the sun-drenched heat of summer with the ever-looming spectre of climate change and political unrest. Despite these contrasts, there is a unifying theme of transience that weaves through their soundscape. Rather than merely evoking homesickness with earthly mementoes aboard their metaphorical space stations, ÄTNA transports us to a realm of awe-inspiring visions that stimulate our curiosity about the mysteries beyond our planet. It’s a tantalizing glimpse into what the multiverse might sound like—if only we could prove it.
ÄTNA has always transcended the traditional confines of German pop, as demonstrated in their groundbreaking debut Made By Desire. With a unique blend of catchy hooks, pulsating rhythms, and striking visuals, the duo has firmly established itself in the avant-garde landscape. Featuring collaborations with esteemed talents like Solomun, MEUTE, and Marteria, and joining forces with the NDR Bigband at Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie and the Bavarian Radio Orchestra, ÄTNA continues to surprise and inspire.
Following the bold statements made in their previous work Push Life, Lucky Dancer stands as their third studio album, capturing the pulse of now with the vibrancy of a firefly. Each of ÄTNA’s albums refines a visionary utopia woven with the threads of contemporary themes, oscillating between minimalistic expression and theatrical metaphor. This exploration embodies what it truly means to experience existence on Earth today.
Despite their growing acclaim and performances at prestigious festivals such as SXSW in Austin, picturesque Dresden remains ÄTNA’s creative hub. Their artistic excursions take shape through collaborations that blur the lines between music, art, history, film, theatre, fashion, digitality, and fantasy, setting the stage for astonishing surprises in the ever-expanding ÄTNA universe.
Join me in celebrating the groundbreaking creativity of ÄTNA and dive into the dazzling world of Lucky Dancer, where the extraordinary awaits.
