Dead Lights

Glamgoth? Cyberelectro? Industrial Dance? Disguised as dark and filthy electropop, DEAD LIGHTS create their own personal blend of monumental synth bass lines and gritty sounds, elaborate vocal arrangements and brutal, dance-orientated beats. Imagine NITZER EBB, FRONT 242 and THE PRODIGY jamming in a Victorian cemetery at midnight, illuminated by ultraviolet moonlight. DEAD LIGHTS presents modern EBM moulded into catchy songs with surgical precision. Bass-heavy, buzzing magnetism with pummeling, yet groovy, mechanical rhythms. All this delivered with an ’80s UK synth-pop, glamgoth flair and an urgency that is tangible. Lyrically, DEAD LIGHTS are delving into the darker side of the human condition, skewering life in the social media age with a savage wit and poetic flair. Prepare for songs of loss, lust, drugs and death. Founded in 2020, the international duo (Saul Pettett, UK and Richard van Kruysdijk, NL) immediately found themselves separated by the sea and a pandemic. Connected through a lust for dark electronic dance music, Saul and Richard still managed to make an impact with their output. After their live premiere at WAVE-GOTIK-TREFFEN in 2022, they've already completed several European tours.
