Die Selektion

A crowded nightclub. Shrill beats echo through the foggy room, rich synths waft across the space. Suddenly, a sad trumpet sound fills the dancefloor like a ghost: welcome to the world of DIE SELEKTION.

Heavy-hearted but hopeful trumpet melodies, German lyrics that make you question your past and future once again, synthesizer sounds in the great tradition of heroes like Depeche Mode, DAF or Nitzer Ebb, combined with hard-hitting drum machines – this forms the base for DIE SELEKTION’s self-proclaimed Prosecco Wave world.

After thirteen years of shared band history, three studio albums, a number of singles, EPs and dozens of live shows in over 23 countries worldwide, the bandmembers Luca Gillian, Hannes Rief, Samuel Savenberg and Max Rieger turned DIE SELEKTION into an influential band that manages to bring both goth kids and techno fans onto the same dancefloor with a unique blend of Synth-Pop and Electronic Body Music.

Arrived in 2024, the masters of Prosecco Wave are finally back with their third studio album ZEUGE AUS LICHT (released in September, 2023), the quartet (which however performs as a duo live) releases a new studio record into the wild and throws a rave on the ruins of the present, somewhere between the apocalypse and the rampant insanity of our times. The news songs expand the sound of the band with an almost casual, elegant diversity. Every single component shines, and an understanding of what makes pop really pop comes through that adds a knowing, ironic glitter to the black nihilism of dark electronic music. With no fear in its heart, DIE SELEKTION heads towards a new chapter. And we’re excited for all that comes next.

Celldöd

Celldöd is Stockholm based producer Anders Karlsson. Anders has been active in the music scene for some time working on different musical projects, always with a strong DIY ethic.

His Celldöd project has released several cassettes under his own label Brutal Disciplin and has also released records on

Suction Records, Medical Records and Kess Kill among others. His latest EP, Pandoras Ask, was released in the end of 2023 on Electronic Emergencies and more material is on the way in 2024.

Karlsson's ability to make his dirty, boiled down, sound scapes bounce and swing is what gives his tracks the ability to light up even the coldest dance floors.

Celldöd has built a reputation as a strong live act through gigs all around Europe as well as live performances as far away as the Epizode festival in Vietnam.

Celldöds influences range from postpunk, industrial and EBM and fuses them with a minimal dance energy found in acid house and techno. The result is dirty yet funky.
