Neuköllner Speed Dating Club (Leipzig)
Neuköllner Speed Dating Club started as a solo project based around samplers, drum machines, synthesizers and keyboards, but now performs with a line-up consisting of (beside keyboard and electronics) guitar, bassoon, harmonium and acoustic toms. The drones, kraut-like repetition and punchy electronic drums fused with motoric sampled kits creates a hypnotic and psychedelic feel, mixed with a pinch of things like dub, hiphop, noise and pop. Their debut album, Popdrones, is coming out in April this year.
Luna Vega (Leipzig)
Luna Vega’s first studio efforts involved just a preset drum machine accompanied by an old Vermona organ, often nodding to the 70s proto-electronic pioneers. Since then, the project has evolved into a three-piece live band driven by repetitive drum machine patterns, multi-layered organs, wonky synthesisers, and 90's psychedelic revival guitars. Spaced-out nostalgia-powered grooves for the heads of the 2020's.
