Analogue synthesizers, tape machines and songwriting that starts out on the piano – Elias Matt & (the) Rescue Mission is old school alternative pop in a time of digitally over-compressed deafness. Matt and his colleagues from Berlin see themselves as an art project with bizarre live performances, strange interviews and unusual promotion campaigns. Their sound is influenced by the „Sheffield Sound“ of the late 70s and early 80s with bands like The Human League and Cabaret Voltaire and German electronic acts such as Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk. That's why the band exclusively uses analog synthesizers of this era.

Electronic, analogue, immaculate – CONDITIO HUMANA 2017!

Martin Hölscher aka Morten MC, Le Plaisir Electronique (L.P.E.) and Chance Cumson is a hobby musician 👨‍🎤 focusing on electronic music. He is also part of the camp fire band Penchant For Mope (PFM). In principle, Chance Cumson stands for Synthwave, LPE for Trance, Darkwave and even classic music whereas Morten MC covers all sorts of club music including Italo Disco and experimental tracks. Finally, Smart Device and Regulator stretch from minimal electro to Cyberpunk music.

Jan came into contact with electronic dance music as early as the mid-1990s. Back then, the “Dance Machine” brought the magic of electronic sounds into his teenage room.

Nowadays he describes this as a “gift” and a “resource” for someone like him who does not seem able to play his own instruments. And yet the melodies find their way out into the world.  
After having disappeared for years and sunk into a deep musical sleep, the spirit of yesteryear awakens again. EIGHTYONE is back and will claim its place in the world of electronic sound.

After years of silence, his first real single "Comeback" will soon be released worldwide.
