MILK ME gladly presents the record release show in Berlin, for Dame Area’s new album “Toda La Verdad Sobre” to be released on Mannequin Records on the 13.09.2024. Swiss duo Bound By Endogamy will be opening the evening.
Hailing from Barcelona, Dame Area has left audiences speechless and breathless all around Europe, playing almost 200 shows in the last couple of years and generating a consensus: they are one of the best live acts of the moment.
Only in 2023 they have played festivals such as Atonal, Nuits Sonores, Dour, Grauzone, Fusion, etc…and legendary clubs like Tresor, Apolo, Spook Factory, leaving the lasting impression that few electronic acts are as direct and in-your-face as this Catalan/Italian duo.
Their discography doesn’t reflect completely what their current live performance is about: an intense industrial and percussive aair which is going to be captured on their next LP (which is set for release in 2024 on Mannequin Records). To enter Dame Area’s universe you need to see them on stage: setlists are changing at every show, songs are being modified live and the experience is always unique.
Still you can dive into their varied discography: they have released in excellent forward thinking labels like Mannequin Records, BFE, Kess Kill or their own imprint Màgia Roja (described by The Quietus as “Spain’s most extreme and most important label-slash-venue”). It may give you some hints, although listening to just one release won’t give you an exact clue: an eclectic, discerning form of contemporary industrial music, deploying compulsive minimal synth and primal polyrhythms, as well as uniquely reconstrued elements of post-punk & EBM. An artistic identity that embraces influence yet eschews compromise, changing flavours, but not essence, from release to release

https://boundbyendogamy.bandcamp.com/album/bound-by-endogamy Bound By Endogamy is a duo active since 2019. It is made up of Kleio Thomaïdes and Shlomo Balexert. Both musicians come from the squat/punk scene. Their live project consists of drums, a sampler and female vocals. It has been described as a cross between DAF and Kleenex with a more hardcore background.
They began by producing a remix for The Horrorist on RIOT Radio Records, a remix for Carlo Onda on Cold Transmission and electro tracks on Intellitronic Bubble compilations. Their first 7” was released in 2021 on Zurich label Lux Rec. Their following EP, released as a 6-track cassette on US label Dead Channel, was reissued on vinyl in November 2023 by a triple coalition consisting of Màgia Roja (Barcelona), Les Mauvais Garçons (Paris), and Bongo Joe Records (Geneva). In the aftermath, an eponymous 8-track LP was released on December 2023 by Bongo Joe Records. Their first release this year, on March 1, is a split vinyl EP with Raw Ambassador on the Acid Avengers series published by French label Tripalium Corp. |
