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, CTM, Nuits Sonores, Dour, Fusion, etc...and legendary clubs like Berghain, Tresor, Apolo or 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 affair which is going to be captured on their next LP, which is set for release in spring 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.
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.
FRIDAY JULY 5th 2024 - Museo Nivola (Orani, NU).
Duo italo/catalano originario di Barcellona, i DAME AREA sono uno dei migliori live act del momento: solo negli ultimi due anni hanno macinato quasi 200 concerti lasciando a bocca aperta tutta Europa, suonando in festival come il Berlin Atonal e in club leggendari come il Berghain e l’Apolo.
Per entrare nell'universo dei DAME AREA e comprenderne la potenza è assolutamente necessario vederli sul palco: con il loro mix eclettico di musica industrial contemporanea, synth minimali e incessanti, ritmi percussivi primordiali, elementi post-punk ed EBM, sono una vera bomba.
