Tune In     Song History

For over 20 years, Kalipo has operated in the dynamic space between electronics and emotion, club culture and songwriting, politics and poetry. As a producer and co-founder of projects like the legendary electro-punk band Frittenbude – with whom he won the 1LIVE Krone, Germany’s most prestigious radio award – and the dark-disco trio Dina Summer along with Local Suicide.
We are born GUILTY, shadows cast before our first breath. in the mental retreat of solitude, displaced aggression festers, turning trust into a weapon. Born guilty, we dance the knochentanz on Maggot Hill, where shadows bind victim and perpetrator alike. Thorofon, founded in 1995 by Dan Courtman, stands as a seminal force in German post-industrial and power electronics. renowned for uncompromising soundscapes and evocative live performances, the project confronts themes of societal decay, human conflict, and existential dread. merging rhythmic intensity and minimal electro with a wall of abrasive noise, Thorofon forges a conceptually rich and fiercely expressive experience – often distilled into the notion of krankpop – that provokes, challenges, and endures. With GUILTY, Thorofon descends into a stripped-down realm, wielding vintage hardware synthesizers and ritual recording methods to summon a raw, instinctive atmosphere. each track is captured in a single, fragile take, preserving the spectral immediacy of the moment. KNOCHENTANZ, Thorofon’s first song with German lyrics, resonates as a dark, mesmerizing rite, echoing through memory’s hidden recesses.
Austrian ritual wave ensemble The Devil & The Universe return with their seventh album Occult Pleasures, released via Swiss Dark Nights. Blending dark wave, cinematic electronics and occult aesthetics, the band expands their sonic ritual with vocal performances from key figures in the dark alternative scene. This time, the focus on spiritualistic and occult practices is the common thread of the new record.
“In The Garden” explores the fragility of identity and the struggle to reconnect with a version of yourself that feels lost to time. It reflects on memories that may carry a certain weight of trauma, yet they linger not as entirely bad, but as a bittersweet taste of something irreplaceable, moments you can never relive but will always hold close. |
