Lineup and details
A retro-futuristic dadatronic pop star in the making, Hamburg’s Felix Kubin headlines alongside Zombie Zombie - two Krautrock and horror-movie soundtrack obsessives from Paris - and Cologne synth-rock trio MIT, who put their own spin on the ongoing revival of all that was cool around 1980.
// Zombie Zombie
These two Krautrock and horror-movie soundtrack obsessives from Paris have gained considerable acclaim for live shows. Yelping into an echo box while creating motorik intricacies, drummer Neman (Herman Dune) provides a infectious backbone to Etienne Jaumets analogue synth onslaught. Deliciously gloomy dance rock that, well, rocks, and no guitar in sight.

// MIT
Just like the groups of the Neue Deutsche Welle (German New Wave) took the Anglo-American post-punk template and reshaped it according to its own needs, this Cologne synth-rock trio put their own spin on the (still!) ongoing revival of all that was cool around 1980. From DAF to DFA, they are having lots of fun in there.
