KONTRAVOID live + CHARLIE live and album release

Worn Pop presents a concert of Kontravoid featuring Charlie album release show. 26th of September, Berlin, Kantine Am Berghain. Kontravoid’s masked mystique has remained for over a decade. Ever since the release of his self-titled LP in 2012, the Canadian-born, Los Angeles-based Cameron Findlay has perfected dark pop with his oeuvre that teeters between the EBM, electro and goth genres. His productions, such as 2019’s “Too Deep” and 2021’s “Faceless,” dive to the most derelict corners of foggy, strobe-lit clubs: there is no choice but to dance. But there is an uncanny softness and obvious songwriting ability to compose heart-wrenching songs that are both captivating and drenched in melancholy—2018’s “Undone” has been a fan favorite since it came out on Berlin’s Fleisch Records. Onstage, Kontravoid demands the audience’s attention with his powerful performance that balances his specific concoction of harsh beats with his signature bass line rhythmic patterns. He’s toured alongside Boy Harsher, ADULT., Drab Majesty and Hide, and has remixed the likes of Schwefelgelb and Kris Baha. Truly a man of the shadows, Kontravoid is an unparalleled fixture in the dark electronic arena. Charlie / Leona Jacewska – Berlin-based Italo/EBM/Synthwave artist hailing from the polish city of Krakow. There she caters to Krakow’s visual art scene as the CO-director of the project space “Elementarz dla mieszkańców miast” and throws parties under the name Szum uniting cold mutant electro with sparkling italo disco. Behind the decks she has been smashing dancefloors for years, selecting an eclectic yet always driving mix drawing from the same influences. But as a skilled pianist, she was always drawn to creating her own music as well. She contributed several projects for movies and performances – and over the years fleshed out a killer live show using analog synthesizers and machines, which she presented at such festivals as Unsound, Black! Factory, Up to Date and Kalabalik Pa Tyrolen. You can check her releases on labels such as Ferry Lane Records, Mechatronica, Worn Pop and Dom Trojga. In 2024 her catalogue will be replenished with the upcoming works on Wrong Era and Pinkman.
