When trumpet meets techno: Rōkost ignites Mainz
On Saturday, November 28, 2026, Rōkost transforms the M8 Liveclub in Mainz into a vibrant laboratory for live music, electronics, and improvised jazz. Behind the project is Hamburg trumpeter and composer Michel Schroeder, who has developed his own uncompromising sound language with synthesizers, techno beats, and altered trumpet sounds.
An evening between club pulse and jazz intuition
Rōkost stands for energy, friction, and open forms. With Michel Schroeder on trumpet and electronics, Marta Winnitzki on keys, Leon Saleh on drums, and Christian Müller on bass, the lineup promises a concert experience that cannot be pigeonholed. The music comes from the tradition of jazz but pulls the speed and pressure of electronic club aesthetics into the room.
Electronic edge, acoustic presence
Michel Schroeder is an award-winning musician with accolades such as the Skoda Jazz Award, the Lübeck Jazz Prize, the Katowice Composers Award, and the Jazz Promotion Prize from the Cultural Forum of SH. His work shows how confidently he shapes sound bodies, shifts lines, and builds tension. Rōkost expands this profile with a rougher, experimental approach: electronic effects, pulsating grooves, and a sound image that oscillates between punk jazz, free-flow, and club pressure.
Live atmosphere at M8 Liveclub
The M8 Liveclub has been a fixed address for concentrated club concerts in Mainz for years. The venue is located in the House of Youth at Mitternachtsgasse 8 and is easily accessible by bus lines such as 28, 62, 64, 65, 66, 68, 78, 79, 93, and 6. For the audience, this means: short distances, a close stage feeling, and an environment where the immediate sound of a quartet can unfold particularly intensely.
Why this concert is particularly exciting
Rōkost is not a nostalgic jazz evening, but a foray into a present where improvisation, electronics, and rhythmic precision intertwine. The band relies on collective energy, clear edges, and surprising twists. This is precisely what creates the live atmosphere that makes a concert not only audible but physically tangible.
Conclusion: Those who want to experience a concert with courage, groove, and experimental power in Mainz should mark November 28, 2026, in their calendars. Rōkost promises not an easy outing, but an intense, gripping concert experience with its own profile. An evening for everyone who wants to not just hear jazz but feel it in the here and now.
