Formed in 2017 within the vibrant underground scene of Barcelona’s Màgia Roja club, Dame Area comprises the Italian-Catalan duo Silvia Konstance and Viktor Lux Crux. They fuse industrial-tribal polyrhythms with minimalist synth basslines, drawing profound inspiration from avant-garde masters such as Esplendor Geometrico, Throbbing Gristle, Suicide, Einstürzende Neubauten, Can, Coil, Swans, Big Black, and Wolf Eyes.
The 4th full-length studio album by Robert Alfons aka TR/ST (fka Trust), ‘Performance’, sinks even further into the nasty synth-pop psychodrama that the project has pioneered and, finally, perfected across over a decade of evolution. Recorded in Los Angeles, the songs seethe with dread, lust, reckoning, and abandon, backlit by the light pollution of a thousand dead end city streets. Alfons co-produced the collection with versatile composer and producer Nightfeelings, achieving a thick, smoky balance of eerie synths, fog machine low end, and bruised, crooning voice.
IM NAMEN DES VOLKES – a nexus of analog synthesizer craftsmanship. Matthias Schuster’s venture into the world of music began in the late 1970s, marked by an insatiable curiosity for analog instrumentation. His early fascination with vintage synthesizers and drum machines laid the groundwork for a lifelong commitment to creating unique sonic landscapes. The EP ‘LOCH IM SYSTEM’ features four tracks characterized by the raw and pure synthesizer sound of the early 80ies. Electro with an early industrial feel, in an uncompromising and very direct way, constitutes the distinctive musical aesthetic of IM NAMEN DES VOLKES.
