Biography
Berlin-based duo Brutalismus 3000 infuse their productions with a raw punk attitude, channeling political awareness and anti-establishment drive into electronic rhythms after finding themselves both drawn to and weary of the ‘90s-referencing European techno wave that dominated the tail end of the 2010s.
Victoria Vassiliki Daldas and Theo Zeitner launched the project after connecting through a dating app in 2018. Zeitner, raised in Germany, had absorbed punk and hip-hop growing up and only dabbled in techno as a way to demonstrate its ease to acquaintances. Daldas, who spent her childhood in Bavaria with Greek and Slovakian parents, had sung and played piano without ever envisioning a professional path in music.
Bonded by shared passions for horror cinema and electro outfits such as Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft, the pair began composing seriously, pairing Zeitner’s instrumental work with Daldas’ multilingual vocals in English, German, and Slovak. While the duo avoid aligning with any single scene, observers often link their style most closely to gabber—the hardcore techno offshoot marked by its defiant stance—while noting borrowings from classic rave, contemporary EDM, punk, and pop.
In the second half of 2020, amid the COVID-19 shutdown of club life, Brutalismus 3000 issued their debut single “Horime” and first EP Amore Hardcore. Listeners gravitated toward the music and its visual presentation, drawn especially to the pointed messages in tracks such as “No Sex with Cops” and “Die Umwelt Macht Bum” (“the environment goes boom”), alongside the project’s vocal advocacy for queer visibility and marginalized groups. Once venues reopened in 2021, their inaugural Paris concert drew 2000 attendees, followed by a Boiler Room Festival appearance in London. Subsequent releases included the single “Satan Was a Babyboomer” in 2021, the EP Eros Massacre in 2022, and a lively 2022 reinterpretation of the Iggy Pop-David Bowie standard “Nightclubbing.” The full-length album ULTRAKUNST arrived in 2023, with the EP GOODBYE SALÒ following the next year.
