Das Beat
Saturated in the lascivious neon glow of Berlin’s infamous club scene, Das Beat’s eagerly awaited debut full-length flickers with mystery and mischief. ‘Frau Fatal’ shocks the city’s synchronized techno heartbeat with a burst of energy, offering a dazzling display of modern pop that gestures to everything from new wave and EBM to indie rock and Italo disco. Brazenly dramatic and burning with passion, it’s music that dances on the edge of the timeline; the duo are well aware of their musical history and its legacy, and augment their references with contemporary, empowering themes that pirouette through the complex realities of romance, depression, casual dating and fast-paced city life. Most of all though, ‘Frau Fatal’ is an album that lays its emotions bare, never following any established rules. In their own words: “We do whatever we want to do.”

The Nightclubs
Berlin-based duo The Nightclubs, made up of Sophie Soraya and Hermie Hemlock, channel a sharp, nostalgic energy through a modern electronic lens, drawing from the glitchy edge of electroclash and the sleek pulse of ’70s and ’80s synth-pop.
Blurring the line between concert and party, their performances centre around analogue hardware and an energetic, instinctive stage presence.
Their independent releases Mirror Romance and Clairaudient have received support from Jack Antonoff and Nathan Shepherd on BBC Radio 6 Music, alongside early backing from So Young. They have shared bills with Lewis OfMan, Buckshot, Camilla Sparksss and ShitKid, performing at iconic venues including Berghain and SO36. A forthcoming European tour will see the duo play dates across the UK, France, Netherlands and beyond.
With a string of releases on the horizon, The Nightclubs are carving out their place in a lineage that includes Ladytron, Crystal Castles and Miss Kittin. -
