ANTWERP COLLECTIVE CREATES EERIE, YET DANCEABLE SYNTH MUSIC
If there’s such a thing as the Borokov Borokov formula, it can probably be summed up in the following quote: “First and foremost, we make music we want to dance to ourselves. Even when that music doesn’t immediately sound like dance music.” The result might resemble angular synthpop, or supra-Freudian electropunk, acid house with a birthday theme, a polyphonic panic attack, or a multilingual lament. It’s as if the band seizes every track as a new opportunity to break free from the confinement of categories, though without any guarantee of success.
Subject Sue
Subject Sue is a producer and performer who creates dystopian nightclub music at the intersection of dark synthwave and ethereal techno. Her sound is a fever dream of pulsing synthesizers, layered soundscapes, and vocal harmonies. Inspired by queer club culture, forgotten archives from the 1930s–60s, and the fragile line between ecstasy and alienation, she crafts sonic landscapes that immerse you in a cinematic, nocturnal haze.
Tom Forever
Tom Forever moves across the stage like a frenzied preacher, conjuring a bombastic display of hyperpop-electroclash and evangelical punk musicality. The result is big, loud, and electrifying, with a healthy dose of chaos.
