3kStatic

Heavily influenced by the pioneers of industrial electronica, the music of 3kStatic has been described as ‘anarchist disco’ – most notably for the project’s strict and continuing adherence to both the genre-clashing “cut and paste” sound creation and forward-facing political agitation of the Berlin Dada movement of the 1918-1920 Weimar Republic. Substantial further influences include the Situationist / Letterist multi-media art of Guy Debord and the collaborations of William S. Burroughs and Byron Gysin. Melding those esoteric influences with contemporary leftfield/IDM and ‘post-industrial house’, 3kStatic has somewhat quixotically notched numerous Top 25 dance tracks and radio/club play worldwide. The music of 3kStatic has been released on 22 labels worldwide since the 2003 debut LP 'Perversion: For Profit'. Previous albums "Where's Our Piece of the Groovy World?" (2006); "Voodoo Science" (2008) and "Telestial" (2024) have been GRAMMY Award entry candidates in the "Best Electronic / Dance Album" category.

The forthcoming album "Restless Invention" will be available from 14 March 2025.
