The wait is over: Sera Kalo ex.II «Jazz is Punk» is out today!!! Emerging at the intersection of jazz, poetry, and contemporary electronic sound, eX.II treats music as a live, evolving process - physical, responsive, and rooted in collective presence.
Jazz Is Punk is more than an album — it’s a sonic declaration. Born from the raw intersections of improvisation, resistance, and radical vulnerability, this debut release by the project eX.II — led by Berlin-based vocalist and composer Sera Kalo — reclaims jazz not as an institution, but as a living, untamed force.
Sera Kalo – vocals
Nick Dunston – double bass
Marius Max – tenor saxophone & electronics
Dylan Greene – drums
Sofia Eftychidou – double bass on the track „Smile“
Recording Engineer: Erik Breuer

Tune in to @radioalhara tomorrow to hear @ishtirakmusic at 8:00pm Beirut / 7:00pm Berlin.
@ishtirakmusic acclaimed self-titled debut album was recorded in a single, sweltering weekend in a Beirut studio amidst total economic collapse, petrol and bread crisis, and widespread blackouts. Each track was captured in fleeting moments of power, its length and sonic path dictated by the unpredictable electricity and the patience to remain recording regardless. This process forged a sound that is both a journal of a city in crisis and a thunderous declaration of creative resilience—a collective clap-back against the forces that seek to silence expression.
Hear our studio album as well as a live performance from #frequentdefect recently released on the @fakelines.studio Sono Levant Vinyl Compilation.
Ishtirak composed & performed by,
