0Kontrol was born in January 2018 somewhere between St. Petersburg and Brussels as an internet project. Vladimir 4.44 “The Quinsy”, and Masha Kasha found out that they were sick of one-size-fits-all electro and decided to revive some oldschool electrowave. The bands, that shaped their style include Front 242, Frontline Assembly, Decoded Feedback, The Cure, We Are Temporary, Deine Lakaien, Qntal, Delerium, Dead Can Dance and others. Merging this various influences they created an own style called “atomwave”. “Atomwave” is defined through oldschool electrowave, multi-layered male and female vocals and lyrics in various languages inspired by scientific terms. The unique oldschool style and creates a strange borderline between naive voice and evil expressions, energetic beats, electric guitar and psychedelic synths with a hint of futurepop. The lyrics are fully directed towards storytelling, that’s why you can sometimes find the tracks sounding more like abstract hip hop rather than a usual synthpop. For the live set the duo has been joined by the Stanis1avsky on drums. Now the trio is playing concerts in Russia and Europe. The live concerts round up this fully electronic project with live instruments and some dark, grotesque performance.
