Unguarded is a record & art label from Berlin. Founded in 2020, the label seeks to foster forward thinking artists with a focus on exploring cross-disciplinary collaboration and embarking on sonic adventures.

Jungstötter
Jungstötter is the solo project of Berlin based songwriter and musician Fabian Altstötter, whose sounds linger in lyrical softness and formal fragmentation. Using voice as a centre point, as an axis that hinges off an assembly of instrumental experimentation, his work pulls together shifting lyric compositions with textured layering, and whispered moments of release.

With the third album Sustained, released in May, Altstötter turns toward a particular rawness that reestablishes the strength of poetics, of vocal sound, and the softness of song when reduced, restrained, redirected. The album pivots off sustaining in the sense of holding together an inbetween. Of breathing in, and breathing out, and holding that fragile breath in a rhythm that crawls to a place of soft stasis. It is not in the sense of an environmental or musical parameter, nor of some meditative balance of the breath. It is in the sense of something allegorical, something romantically optimistic, of wanting to breathe in and out at the same time. It is an 11-track cast of songs in an act of push and pull toward the softness. An arc of noise, piano mechanics, extended technique, and always breathing – through wafting harmonica, sutured words, the oscillating hum of a note trying to find life.

blurrydog
Blurrydog is the persona of Chicago based musician and composer Dylan Sack. Often described as bittersweet, his music is an invitation into his most intimate and emotional inner world. A formal training in classical composition reveals itself in rich harmonic colors and flowing melodies, weaving together disparate influences such as video game music, jazz, and lofi into dreamlike arrangements.

His debut album as a singer songwriter, Blurry’s World, releases on Berlin based label Unguarded in summer 2026.
