Local Suicide

The history of the DJ & producer duo and couple Local Suicide stretches back over a decade. Brax Moody and Vamparela have collaborated together on various projects, all culminating in the conception of Local Suicide. Local Suicide are the ones behind the term Technodisco which describes their mixture of New Wave, EBM, Disco and Techno. They are also one of the key figures in the Dark Disco scene and have collaborated with the likes of Curses, Theus Mago, Lena Platonos, Hard Ton, The Hidden Cameras and Rodion. In 2021 Local Suicide launched their own label Iptamenos Discos, where they released their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Eros Anikate’ among others. In 2022 the duo also revealed their new live project Dina Summer with Kalipo.

Dina Summer

Dina Summer is the collaborative band project between Kalipo and DJ couple Local Suicide. The Berlin-based project is fronted by Dina P, who lends her vocals and thought-provoking lyrics to the act. Second member is her husband and DJ/Producer partner Brax Moody with whom she forms Local Suicide. The third member is Kalipo, who started his music career as the producer and band member of the German electro-punk band Frittenbude before venturing into downbeat rave music. Together they create a unique blend of their influences 80’s Disco, 90’s Electro and New Wave for a fun, nostalgic and dark retro sound. Their debut album “Rimini” offers a beautifully crafted journey through retro disco sonics, incorporating Synth Sop, New Wave, and Disco-elements for funky, upbeat, and versatile tracks that can be enjoyed beachside or on the dance floor.

Wiener Planquadrat

The uprising DJ/producer duo Wiener Planquadrat which consists of Michael Weiler and Maximilian Atteneder who after years of creating and performing music separately finally got together in 2020, combining their musical roots to create their new vibrant sound coming straight from the heart of Austria’s capital of Vienna. Embracing their love for 2000s Indie music, dark disco and French electro they created their very own unique sound involving powerful, analogue yet hook-heavy song-craftmanship which often doesn’t follow usual dance music conventions. Their debut single Stillstand, which was released in 2021 was well received internationally and climbed Austrian as well as German dance charts right away. While pushing their boundaries a bit further with their follow up EP Dschungel which was released in 2022 and got remixed by artists like T.Raumschmiere, Tech Support or Birds, they continuously keep remixing and collaborating with acts such as Local Suicide, Oberst & Buchner, Kalipo, Dina Summer, Ali X or You Man. In the last two years they further established their name by DJing and playing their first ever live shows in cities such as Berlin, Paris or Thessaloniki. Wiener Planquadrat will continue their journey by releasing more music soon while strongly focusing on the production of their debut album.
