Founded at the end of 2016 by three DJ*s, Rue Oberkampf combines 80s ecstasy with the atmosphere of fog-shrouded, strobe-lit dance temples of the techno era. The combination of urban electronic music’s gritty drive with Julia’s French-German vocals reminds some critics of a more forceful version of Deux or Kirlian Camera: yet at the same time it creates something entirely original.
Inspired by cold wave and 80s dancefloor ecstasy, Rue Oberkampf have been creating audiovisual structures since the end of 2016. Their lyrics address emotional states shaped by forlornness and contemplation and take their influence from French fin de siècle literature. Rue Oberkampf create pieces between buildup, rapture and tranquility, transcending genre boundaries. EP / CD / Digital Album |
