Local Suicide kündigen ihr lang erwartetes Debütalbum „Eros Anikate“ an, das Freitag 13. Mai 2022 auf ihrem eigenen Label Iptamenos Discos erschienen ist. Der Titel bedeutet übersetzt „unbesiegbare Liebe“ und ist inspiriert von Sophokles’ Stück „Antigone”.

Das Album bleibt dem Technodisco-Sound des Berliner Duos treu, für den sich die beiden einen Namen gemacht haben, und zeigt ihren unverkennbaren Stil, der 80er Retro-Feeling mit einem modernen, düsteren Twist kombiniert. In gewohnter Local Suicide-Manier zeigt das Debütalbum des Duos augenzwinkernde Texte über mystische Abenteuer, Liebesbeziehungen und Missstände dieser Zeit. Das Album spricht aus dem Herzen des Duos und ist unter anderem von den Reisen und Erfahrungen, die sie während der Pandemie gemacht haben inspiriert.

Auf dem Album versammelt das deutsch-griechische Produzentenpaar, das kürzlich von Beatport als eine der Schlüsselfiguren der aufstrebenden Dark-Disco-Szene deklariert wurde, eine eindrucksvolle Liste an befreundeten Künstlern: Lee Stevens, Curses, The Hidden Cameras, Sissi Rada, Skelesys, Theus Mago, Hard Ton, Kalipo und die griechische New Wave Legende Lena Platonos.

Seit 2014 hat das Duo 13 EPs, zahlreiche Songs auf Compilations und Remixes auf renommierten Labels veröffentlicht und dafür großen Zuspruch von führenden elektronischen Mags wie RA, DJ Mag, Mixmag, FAZE, Groove, Ransom Note, TRAX, Time Out, Tsugi, XLR8R & Rolling Stone erhalten.

Kürzlich spielten sie sich selbst in der ZDF-Serie Fett & Fett mit, in der auch ihre musikalischen Produktionen ausführlich gefeatured wurden. Ihre DJ-Karriere hat sie bei über 1000 DJ Auftritten und duzenden Tourneen seit 2008 in alle Ecken der Welt geführt, von Europa, Asien und Nordafrika bis nach Südamerika und in die Vereinigten Staaten, wo sie die Massen beim Lollapalooza, Melt!, ADE, Off Sonar, Festival Forte, Berlin Festival und vielen weiteren begeisterten.

Since meeting Munich-born Brax Moody and Thessaloniki native Vamparela have collaborated together on various projects, all culminating in the conception of Local Suicide in Berlin. Local Suicide’s distinctive sound, is an energetic fusion of new wave, EBM, slow techno, post disco and acid house that they themselves have given the name technodisco and cobrawave, while Beatport declared them as one of the key figures in the uprising dark disco scene.

Their DJ career has carried them to all four corners of the world, whipping crowds into a frenzy at Lollapalooza, Melt!, ADE, Off Sonar, Festival Forte, Berlin Festival and almost every club the German capital has to offer. Their live cuts have been honed to perfection with years of shows alongside the very best in the scene, even being invited by New Order to warm up for their live performance. This hectic schedule has taken them across Europe, Asia, North Africa, South America and the United States. As the faces behind some of the most prolific parties Berlin has to offer, these two were the driving forces of the infamous Go Bang!, T.O.F.U. and Iptamenos Discotek parties, which are just one of the many marks that they have left on the Berlin underground scene.

With solo & collaborative releases with Curses, Theus Mago, Rodion, Mijo, Alejandro Paz, Thomass Jackson, Younger Than Me, Kalipo, Skelesys, Franz Matthews & more on labels such as Bordello A Parigi, Multi Culti, My Favorite Robot, Roam, Duro, Ombra INTL, Tusk Wax, Lumière Noire, Eskimo, AEON, Ransom Note, NEIN & TAU the duo had numerous releases reaching the top 10 iTunes, Beatport & Juno charts and had massive playlist support by Spotify (Electronic Rising, Afterhours, Fresh Finds, Organica, Balearic Beat) and Apple Music (The Underground,10s Electrónica Latinoamericana Essentials).

They got remixed by the likes of Iñigo Vontier, Moscoman, Fairmont, Sascha Funke, Bufi, Aera, Smagghe & Cross, Lauer, Chaim, Manfredas, NTEIBINT, Simple Symmetry, Italo Brutalo, Mufti, The KVB, Tronik Youth to mention a few and did remixes for Digitalism, Tulioxi, Mentrix, Persona, FLXXX, Remi Wanless, Leo Af Ekenstam, John Parsley, Gøne, Packim, Pyrame & more.

The duo has had a stunning amount of press coverage from leading mags like DJ Mag UK/IT/US/LA/ES, Mixmag, FAZE, Groove, TRAX, Time Out, Tsugi, XLR8R & Rolling Stone and has recently played themselves in Fett & Fett, a series broadcasted on the biggest German national TV station ZDF in which their musical productions were featured extensively as well.

In 2021 they founded their own label Iptamenos Discos, which is Greek for Flying Saucer or Flying Vinyl, that will be the home of music they love and their own productions.
