When he’s not managing his label Lost Favourite Records, Berlin-based artist Kasper Granroth can be found making kombucha. A relatively new endeavour, Kasper’s kombucha brand Kombu is in high-demand, and he’s currently brewing a new batch. He also DJs across Europe, and drums for Finnish star Alma. Kasper founded Lost Favourite, a creative ensemble, record label and music publisher, back in 2017. We chatted to him to hear more about his work, find out what he wishes he’d known a few years ago, and of course to get a hot tip for a spot he loves in his city.
