Fritz Kalkbrenner unleashes his new iconic album Third Place
After shaping the sound of a generation and igniting dancefloors worldwide, Fritz Kalkbrenner returns with his new iconic album, Third Place. This record stands out as one of his most captivating works, blending his soulful, unmistakable vocals with powerful, rhythmic production. Building on the momentum of his Gold and Platinum-certified hits, Third Place ventures deeper into the emotional and sonic landscapes that have cemented Fritz Kalkbrenner’s status in the global electronic music scene, while staying grounded in the pulse of the dancefloor.
Third Place explores fresh sounds, touching on house, techno, breakbeat, and dance-pop, balancing euphoria with introspective depth. Inspired by the idea of "the third place"—special spaces where creativity and community come alive—the album embodies the freedom and emotional release found in clubs and other gathering spaces. Here, music is more than sound; it’s a catalyst for connection and inspiration. If it took three words to describe the album: Reflective, damn infectious and authentic.
The album is inspired by the concept of 'the third place'—those spaces that foster creativity, connection, and freedom outside of our daily routines. It’s a sonic exploration that mirrors my own journey, from my roots in Berlin’s club culture to stages around the world, blending a soulful honesty with a drive to capture the spirit of the dancefloor.

Highlights include pre-released singles like Into the Night, an uplifting track with Chicago house chords and dynamic grooves, and The Telepath, a blend of nostalgic warehouse vibes and driving breakbeats, echoing the intensity of Fritz’s live sets. Collaborations like Playing Games with Coach Harrison add depth to the album, blending house energy with a unique vocal touch. From dance-pop anthem It Ain’t Over to the rich, melodic house of See You Again, Third Place captivates across moods and moments.
Fritz Kalkbrenner, who first rose to fame alongside his brother Paul with the iconic Sky and Sand, continues to leave his mark, gracing stages at Awakenings, Lollapalooza, Melt, and more. With Third Place, he invites listeners into a world of music, community, and self-discovery, firmly securing his role as a leading figure in both underground and mainstream electronic music.
