Originating as a romantic duo in Austria, Martin and Kathrin’s journey took a riveting turn upon their arrival in Ibiza. Enveloped by the enchantment of the island, they swiftly recognized their shared musical calling. Thus, ZEITREICH was born, sculpted by the vigor, affection, and unrestrained creativity they absorbed during that transformative phase.
Their music echoes this profound evolution. Initially DJs, their pursuit of unbounded freedom led them to incorporate live improvisation, featuring flute and percussion. This progression wasn’t merely a choice; it was an organic shift toward fluidity and liberation.
ZEITREICH’s trajectory is a perpetual metamorphosis, ceaselessly drawing in fresh inspiration along its path. Their footprint adorns illustrious Ibiza venues.
Beyond their musical synergy, ZEITREICH embodies a profound personal partnership—a testament to love transcending boundaries. Their language is music, their message is love—a harmonious fusion that propels their artistry and defines their essence. Stay tuned for the ongoing saga of ZEITREICH—where every note resonates with passion, and each rhythm reverberates with an ardor for life.

Hey hey, thank you for your time. What have you two been up to lately?
After a successful summer season in Ibiza, we have taken all the energy with us and we are now looking forward to everything that comes next.
Give us an insight into what we can expect from you over the next few months.
We’re currently spending a lot of time in the music studio and are focusing
Let’s go back in time. Where was your first performance? And how was it back then
looking back at it now?
We will never forget our first live performance in Ibiza. It was during the Corona period, and everyone had to sit – we also sat while playing – but the energy and the time were incredible – high energy with high-quality humans, and everything very respectful. We will never forget this special evening at Namaste Ibiza.
Moving on, how would you describe your development as an artist and the transition toward your own style?
We always remain true to ourselves in our development, we do not adapt to a certain style of music – we love making music and sharing it with the whole world.
Do you think that the kind of music you grew up listening to affects the taste of music you develop?
We think every kind of music is an inspiration, if you listen with “production ears” it opens the horizon as well.
How would you describe your sound and style?
Up to a certain point, our music is always experimental. Influences from different cultures and countries determine our style. Sometimes it’s African percussion, sometimes hard techno, sometimes house basslines or synths that inspire us. In our way of music, we are always looking for our uniqueness.
When you’re working on a new project, what’s your typical starting point? How do you break it down and how do you like to generate your ideas? And how do you approach it as a duo?
We get an Inspiration and then we use the “flow” of the production. Further ideas for the tracks are coming during production. For example, we look for real artists for vocals or percussion etc. Only when we both love the track 100% and feel emotions at the same time – we are very satisfied and finish the track for the final version.
Soon you will have a release on Under The Trees. What can you tell us about “Something Special”? How did this one come together?
This track is based on an inspiration from last summer at Cova Santa Ibiza. We felt an amazing music-vibe there and put it our way in. That’s now the result of our track: Something special.
Something Special is available online.
Music and sound are in some ways the most collaborative and interactive forms of creativity – what are your thoughts on this?
Yes, we totally agree with this. Music connects people all over the world and the wonderful thing is that you meet people you never would have met without the mind of music and this is how great cooperation and friendships can develop and at the same time make each track unique.
Could you take us through a day in your life, from a possible morning routine through to your work? Do you have a fixed schedule?
For us, it’s all about music all day long. 🙂 But we also consciously take our time for sport, which helps us a lot to focus on what is important and also for our mindset. We don’t have a fixed schedule but we have of course routine work which has to be finished daily too.
Have you ever hit roadblocks with making music? If so, what have you found to be
the best ways to overcome this?
Of course, we know that too, but we have grown and developed despite all the obstacles. But we trust in ourselves and also in the universe that the best will happen for us and for our music.
Thank you.
