Fritz Kalkbrenner’s Third Place Album: A Journey Through Sound, Soul, and Community

Fritz Kalkbrenner

Fritz Kalkbrenner, known for his soulful vocals and signature electronic beats, returns on November 1st with Third Place, his most ambitious and daring studio album to date. Building on the success of his Gold and Platinum-certified tracks, this record sees Kalkbrenner dive deeper into house, techno, breakbeat, and dance-pop, capturing the heart and energy of the dancefloor.


The album title, Third Place, is inspired by the concept of spaces beyond home and work where community and creativity thrive. Kalkbrenner sees this “third place” as the clubs and festivals where shared experiences come to life, places where music becomes a powerful force that brings people together. Through this lens, the album is both an exploration and a celebration of dance music’s power to connect and inspire.



Kalkbrenner’s recent singles offer a glimpse into this journey. “Into the Night,” with its infectious Chicago house chords, has already set dancefloors alight, reflecting the uplifting spirit of club culture. Another release, “The Telepath,” captures the essence of warehouse sounds with driving breakbeats, showcasing his dynamic live energy. A special highlight, “Playing Games,” features Coach Harrison and combines energetic rhythms with rich vocal textures, offering listeners a fresh and compelling take on house music.


Other standout tracks include “It Ain’t Over,” a dance-pop anthem with catchy hooks and rhythmic depth, and “Fall Between the Cracks” and “See You Again,” which bring deep melodic warmth to the record. Each track has a distinct feel, yet all contribute to a cohesive journey rooted in emotion and rhythmic intensity.


Since his breakout hit “Sky & Sand,” which defined a generation, Kalkbrenner has toured the world, playing iconic venues and festivals from Awakenings to Sónar, even performing at unique sites like the Great Wall of China. With Third Place, he offers a deeply immersive experience that bridges introspection and dancefloor energy. Rich in emotional depth, Third Place invites listeners to connect, reflect, and move - capturing the joy and community at the heart of dance music.
