PLATRONiC – synthfully elegant futurepop

Founded in 2020 by singer/songwriter/co-producer Kay Burden (Frankfurt a. M.) and composer and producer Some-E from Savonlinna.

German melancholy met Finnish happiness.

“It wasn’t planned, but suddenly we realised we had found our musical soulmate.”
 

Dreams (official music video)

Since then a lot has happened to this distinctive duo heavily influenced by ABBA, Depeche Mode and VNV Nation.

2022

Their song DREAMS (Nature of Wires Remix) made it to #2 in the DAC – Deutsche Alternative Charts.

PLATRONiC opened for the Swedish synthrock band PRIEST in Helsinki.

“…echoes of German pioneers can be heard… strongly melodic… catchy, durable and danceable in a futuristic way…”
