"In the Name of Eternal Youth and Bliss" is a delightful one-of-a-kind album and a groundbreaking work. It’s rooted in hip-hop as it was understood in Germany in 1996. The ingredients are: sampled beats, DJing, flow, rhymes, big talk, attitude, battles, parties, politics, bravado, and bullshit. But back then, in a kids’ bedroom in Ulm, starting from the same point led to results quite different from those of their peers. The joy of playing is nearly boundless. Hip-hop as a portal to infinite expanses:
’60s jazz, sci-fi series, comics, country, classical, thrash metal, pop hits, literature, and off-the-grid indie—everything is taken apart, twisted, turned inside out, and reassembled, both musically and linguistically. This really shouldn’t have existed at all, and yet here it is. The whole thing is madness and method, and the more time passes since its creation, the clearer that becomes. It’s child’s play and deadly serious at the same time.
To call these 44 minutes and 57 seconds of music a “work” would be pretentious. But it’s not just a loose collection of tracks either. It’s not a manifesto—more like a mission report. Everything is logically structured, well-thought-out, and coherent. And yet it feels so light and spontaneous, as if it had just popped into someone’s head—you might chuckle when you think about it and cry when you dance to it. It deals with a large part of what was relevant in the world and in Germany in the ’90s—much of which has now disappeared. For example, the idea that hip-hop isn’t a style, but a method and an attitude, a way of moving. Kinderzimmer Productions have fully embraced this way of moving and have proven that this approach works even under the most adverse and bizarre circumstances: there and then, now and here. You wouldn’t even have to be interested in hip-hop to benefit from it, and you wouldn’t even have to know German to understand any of it.
Kinderzimmer Productions have never before performed “Im Auftrag ewiger Jugend und Glückse-ligkeit” live in its entirety because the necessary audio material was not fully available. For Düsseldorf’s “Lieblings-platte Festival” in 2025, the band reconstructed the complete beats using a method akin to media archaeology. Finally, Kinderzimmer Productions can play the album without having to recreate it themselves.
