STEVE J. DRAKOS — “MY DAMN GLORY”

STEVE J. DRAKOS (STIV IENA) — “PUNKROCK HELL” — “I’m a Punkrocker from the first decade 1976-1985. So I have every right to say what Punk-Rock is for thousands of us: joy through FTW, 100% anti-PC, total powerful fun” — STEVE

STEVE J. DRAKOS - "PUNKROCK HELL"

HEAVY-PUNKROCK: STEVE J. DRAKOS
DARK-TECHNO-TRANCE: DRAKOS KLAN
Two styles, same spirit
The DRAKOS KLAN are: Steve J. Drakos and Alex Drakos, father and son, with collaboration from young grandson Lukáš Drakos. A real clan, based in central Bohemia, Europe
Electric & Electronic Music, in their best forms, are the excellent industrial support of arts. Electricity gives you the input and the might to invent exceptional sonorities that one could not produce otherwise. Creation through technological devices has an immense potential in a vast universe. The strength and the rhythms of the various rock and electro genres are an ecstatic archetype: it is the heart that pumps blood to the brain bringing visions, a primordial call coming back from tens of thousands years through the amplifiers, pickups, microphones, speakers, computers, software and mechanics and the video: a primal magic circle — a catalyst for human trance
In the anesthetized world that has taken form in the recent decades, with its unoffensive, terminal, painless arts and its appalling ‘correct’ politics, the only so-called principle that seems to reign like an indisputable duty is: “You must not make sense.” We, instead, place ourselves among the ones who give a high value to what they are and what they do
We are not DJs, we are musicians playing their own sets. Our songs are the result of an experiment beyond any norm: arose from our own family’s bloodline on hammering sounds, performed on the 1980s punk and skinhead stages and in 1990s discos, tried on the movie sets of the European luxury fetishist pornography that we were shooting for major XXX brands, developed through original influences from cult cinema and by the composing of soundtracks, led to unexpected levels with lyrics inspired by the secret furor of this insane world, all compressed into new cyber or punkrock atmospheres
DRAKOS, for us, is not just generic tunes making: it is a free living force, body and soul, grabbed from the abyss of times and projected towards the future, a discipline of sound storms that makes girls and boys dance wild enjoying moments of full life’s power
Techno and Rock music are both social and antisocial: they give life to house parties with friends, gigs, raves and club nights with thousands of people, loved by millions around the world — but the process of making them, and the live performance, are just Me and My Machines/Instruments doing My work as the mad scientist in the “Metropolis” movie
Our tracks are spiritual energy, our own cult of joy, a personal satisfaction shared with those who can listen like a cool Hell's witchery
