Conic Rose is a Berlin-based quartet that represents the cutting edge of the German 'nu jazz' scene. Led by trumpeter Konstantin Döben, the group has carved out a unique space by integrating the aesthetics of indie-pop and electronic music into a jazz framework.
Their sound identity is defined by a 'produced' feel, moving away from the traditional acoustic jazz purity toward a hybrid sound that utilizes synthesizers, processed guitars, and meticulously mixed percussion. Their career trajectory saw a significant breakthrough with the 2023 album 'Heller Tag,' which garnered international attention for its cinematic quality and accessibility. Positioned within the same creative ecosystem as artists like Triorität and the broader European jazz-electronic crossover movement, Conic Rose is often cited by critics for their ability to appeal to fans of Nils Frahm or Bonobo as much as traditional jazz listeners. Their music is characterized by a nocturnal, urban atmosphere and a focus on mood-building over virtuosic display, making them a staple of modern 'focus' and 'late night' curation.
