Paul Kalkbrenner announces upcoming album The Essence and drops new single 'Ninety–Two'

Paul Kalkbrenner is fresh off two sold-out shows at Berlin’s Wuhlheide and has just dropped his new single 'Ninety–Two'. The release also marks the announcement of his forthcoming album, The Essence, which is available for pre-order here.

'Ninety–Two' is a stripped-back, driving track that pays tribute to the UK rave era. Built around a sample familiar from 1990s dance compilations, the track reinterprets these sounds through a modern lens, reflecting the early influences that helped shape Kalkbrenner’s style.

Describing the track, Kalkbrenner says: “It’s a track like a lost memory, and at the same time, a bold statement. It marks the start of my new album, The Essence.”

The vinyl edition of The Essence will feature exclusive artwork and a 16-page booklet, designed as a tactile, collectible part of the release.

Paul Kalkbrenner will support the new material with an extensive summer 2025 tour, including dates across Europe and multiple appearances in Ibiza.
