Danzinger 99: the Burgenland half of a band that hides behind four names
Ilja Danzinger records as Danzinger 99 and as Saiya Tiaw, one half of the Austrian project Neunundneunzig he founded with a kindergarten friend in 2021. Their second album, 99 Nichts Für Immer, arrived on 19 June 2026 and a ten-city autumn tour follows it through Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Kindergarten in Burgenland, then a label called 99
Danzinger 99 is one half of a project that has spent five years making its own authorship hard to pin down. Behind the name is Ilja Danzinger, an Austrian musician from Burgenland who has known his collaborator Leonidas Braith since kindergarten. In 2021 the pair set up Neunundneunzig — German for ninety-nine — as band, project and label at once, and then filled it with characters. Braith records as Amandus 99 and, earlier, as Nicki Papa; Danzinger records as Danzinger 99 and as Saiya Tiaw.
Popfest Wien's programme notes state the arrangement openly: the two musicians deliberately obscure their identities behind those four personas. The practical result is that one record can carry several artist names belonging to two people, and listings disagree about which alias sits where. The project itself is now based in Vienna, and booking runs through Goodlive Artists in Germany.
The music has been filed under a spread of tags that say something about how slippery it is — underground rap, new wave, rave, hyperpop. Popfest Wien's write-up settles on cold-wave influences crossed with cloud-rap sounds, wrapped in an image borrowed from grainy Super-8 footage and smartphone snapshots. Danzinger has been candid that the influences behind that aesthetic resist naming: asked about them in June 2026, he described a mix of many things seen and assembled rather than any single source. When pressed on music, he put the Austrian songwriter Ludwig Hirsch next to the rappers Bushido and 187.
A discography spread across aliases
The debut album, 99 in dein Herz, came out in 2022, written and recorded through the pandemic. Twelve tracks of synthesisers, guitars and layered vocals, it set romance inside hedonism and melancholy: rave memories, heartbreak, drugs. Venue copy from the period described the duo as underground favourites of German-language alternative pop and the record's register as gothic-romantic, drama held in check by charm.
Danzinger kept working under his own aliases between albums. Apple Music lists Hotel+++ in 2023 and the long-titled aber immer noch besser als in dieser welt in der ich wach bin in 2024 on the Danzinger 99 page, alongside a 2025 single, Durch meine Brust ein Pfeil, credited with Saiya Tiaw and Nicki Papa — two of the project's names collaborating on a third. By mid-2026 he also had unreleased demos and EPs in the queue.
Four years separated the debut from its finished successor. The gap was filled by solo projects and release fragments rather than silence, which is partly why the band's return in 2026 was framed by promoters as a new chapter rather than a comeback.
99 Nichts Für Immer and the turn to sobriety
The second album, 99 Nichts Für Immer, was released on 19 June 2026, ten tracks including Du kennst die Stadt and Wie ein Band welches niemals reißt. A run of singles trailed it through the year: maybach tears, Armee, SUVs, Breakfree, Skyline and Dieb.
Danzinger described the shift himself in June 2026 — away from post-punk with rave elements towards something rougher, colder and dirtier, with lyrics that have turned dystopian and darker. Promoter copy for the tour reaches for the same idea from the other direction, calling the record harder, clearer and more urban than the debut, and replacing the first album's romantic-melancholic tone with a new sobriety. The alter egos Amandus 99 and Danzinger 99 are the ones named as taking the controls on it, which is consistent with how the project has always distributed credit.
What the record does not do is abandon the retrofuturist idea at the centre of the project: the melancholy of analogue and digital media at once, a synth built before the millennium straining towards a future it will never reach.
The live record behind the current tour
Neunundneunzig built their audience on stage rather than through radio. Their own live archive shows Splash! at Ferropolis in June 2023, MS Dockville in Hamburg that August, a Frankfurt club date at Tanzhaus West on 19 August 2023, then Melt at Ferropolis in July 2024 and Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg in September 2024. Several 2024 club shows sold out, Berlin, Munich and Vienna among them.
2025 was a festival year: Eisblumen in Leipzig in February, M4Music in Zurich in March, Pop Salon in Osnabrück and C/O Pop in Cologne in April, and Frequency in St. Pölten in August. In between came the slot that matters most at home — Popfest Wien, on Friday 25 July 2025, in the TU Prechtlsaal from 11pm, where the festival programme billed them as romantic retro-futurism. Popfest's own notes trace the trajectory from a European tour of sold-out clubs to progressively larger rooms in Germany and Austria.
Danzinger's stated preference is unambiguous. In June 2026 he said that being on stage is the final reward, which places the studio second in a project that spends a great deal of time in it.
Where things stand this autumn
The Nichts Für Immer tour runs from late October into November 2026 across ten cities in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, with Grelle Forelle in Vienna, Frannz Club in Berlin and Knust in Hamburg among the venues. The six German dates went into an official Ticketmaster presale at noon on Friday 10 April 2026: Munich's Rote Sonne on 24 October, Im Wizemann Studio in Stuttgart on 27 October, Oetinger Villa in Darmstadt on 28 October, Gebäude 9 in Cologne on 29 October, Frannz Club in Berlin on 30 October and Knust in Hamburg on 1 November.
One caution about that run. The Berlin promoter Trinity Music currently marks the Frannz Club date of 30 October as cancelled on its event page, while Ticketmaster's tour announcement still lists it; the other German dates carry no such flag. Anyone travelling for the Berlin show should confirm with the venue before booking.
The other notable change is the size of the band. Where Neunundneunzig has mostly been two people, the tour goes out as a quintet, and promoter listings name the additions: Stefan Raschbacher on bass, Miriam Jochmann on piano and synthesisers, Moritz Kolmbauer on drums.
The show, now
The 2026 shows are club shows played by five people rather than two: Danzinger and Braith plus Stefan Raschbacher on bass, Miriam Jochmann on piano and synthesisers and Moritz Kolmbauer on drums, an expansion the duo announced alongside the album in June 2026. Rooms are small to mid-sized — Rote Sonne in Munich, Gebäude 9 in Cologne, Knust in Hamburg, Oetinger Villa in Darmstadt — and the timings follow German club convention: at Frannz Club in Berlin doors were set for 7pm with a 8pm start, the same shape as their Frankfurt date at Tanzhaus West in August 2023, which ran doors at 7pm, music at 8pm, 16-plus, with Sqf2000 opening. No support acts have been named on the promoter pages for the autumn dates, and no set lengths are published. The material now leans on the second album, which Danzinger describes as rougher, colder and dirtier than the debut, so the romantic-melancholic end of the 2022 record sits inside a harder set rather than defining it. On stage the four personas of the project converge into one performance, which Popfest Wien's programme credits with turning the audience into a collective moment; the same notes track the band from sold-out European clubs into bigger rooms. The 2024 run sold out in Berlin, Munich and Vienna, and Danzinger has said plainly that the stage is the point for him. One practical caveat: the Berlin promoter lists the 30 October Frannz Club date as cancelled while Ticketmaster still carries it.
