PLATRONIC
Female Fronted Futurepop From Finland
STYLE: Synth-fully elegant and devilishly catchy with a lovely light-textured but hard-edged energy!
INFLUENCES: ABBA, Depeche Mode, Eurythmics, Pet Shop Boys, VNV Nation
PLATRONIC are Finnish composer/producer Some-E and German singer-songwriter and co-producer Kay Burden.
What started with chatting about electronic music on Instagram in 2019 and the idea of collaborating in the foreseeable future, surprisingly turned into a real duo on EBM DAY – 24 February 2020!
“It wasn’t planned! But suddenly we realised that we felt the same way about the music and our heads and hearts were bursting with ideas…”
In March 2023 – five self released singles, one EP, two nominations for “Best Newcomer” later and after entering “Deutsche Alternative Charts” several times plus a triumphant live performance as warm-up for Swedish Synthrocker PRIEST in Helsinki – Platronic is a member of the
Town and Towers Records Family!
2023 was a very successful year for PLATRONIC!
They were nominated for
“Best Electro Act” by the DJ Team of Radio Wigwam (London) and their song “Memories” made it into the Top 100 best synthpop songs (Synthpopfantatic, Washington DC) and stayed 8 weeks in the Top 10 of the GEWC – German Electronic Music Webcharts.
2024 Kay & Sami are celebrating Platronic’s 4th anniversary with a very special song and video!
And there’s much more to come…more music THAT MAKES YOUR HEART BEAT FASTER!

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