From the Netherlands comes the irresistible sound of Grimdeluxe. His undeniably danceable beat and shimmering synth, form the perfect foundations for his sonorous vocal. Grimdeluxe’s lyrics tell us stories. His dream-like narratives, sometimes dark, often mysterious, are always delivered with a powerful sense of emotional connection to the listener.

From Wave to EBM, from NDW to Punk and everything else in and out of the box. It is like going to the club meeting up with Kraftwerk on speed and The Sex Pistols on Acid. Staatseinde creates a theatrical mix of pulsing electro with nostalgic hopeful synth lines, all performed live with synthesizers, a sequencer and tantalizing vocals. [Discogs] Joan Didion famously wrote “we tell ourselves stories in order to live,” but more often it’s other people telling us the stories, which we choose to believe or to disbelieve. Faith is powerful, even when it’s misplaced or misdirected, and stories have consequences. Contradictory stories sew division and conflict, stories revealed to be fiction can result in cognitive dissonance. Maria Violenza is an electro / Arabian / (post) punk solo project by Cristina, based in Rome, Italy. [Discogs] |
