DARK ALLIES No 13 feat. AUTOMELODI live

+ DJs — Kaseta (Spellbound) — Trish Trash (Grauzone) — Ravage! Ravage! (Dark Allies)

Dark Allies is a Paradiso Dondergrondse night hosted by DJ Ravage! Ravage! featuring early 80s and ultra modern synthpop, electro, Italo disco, post punk, minimal- and new wave brought to you by:

AUTOMELODI — live — Montreal, Canada — Hidden Treasure Automelodi embraces the infinitely rich ground of French pop musical influences — including the legendary 'chanteurs' of the '60s and '70s, classic French cold wave (aka 'La Vague Froide'), and early UK new wave.

‘This is like if pre-rockist Depeche Mode and the composer of the Addams Family theme hijacked their songwriting chops. That same ineffable pop nous the Pet Shop Boys nailed time and again – a minimal grandeur where the feel of an orchestral sweep is achieved without any of the instrumentation or effects. For anyone who understands pop music can exist on the fringes without being oxymoronic.’ – The Quietus

KASETA — dj set — Amsterdam — SPELLBOUND Amsterdam Dark Allies is delighted to present Kaseta, one of the regular DJs of Amsterdam's queer underground dance party Spellbound. His taste for postpunk and new-, no- and synth wave have been his trademark since the start of his DJ career, 15 years ago. Needless to say, his set is set to be spellbinding.

TRISH TRASH — dj set — Grauzone Daylight's wasted on her, this femme fatale only comes out at night. Not only does she organize shows in various venues, most recently theGRAUZONE Festival in the Melkweg, you can also regularly find her behind the turntables with her impressive collection of vinyl. Post punk, cold wave, synthpop; often dark and doomy, but always danceable.

RAVAGE! RAVAGE! — dj set — Dark Allies Dark Allies' resident DJ plays a mix of early 80s and ultra modern synthpop, minimal wave, electro, Italo disco and new wave. Like Bowie, Siouxsie, Depeche Mode and The Human League dancing side by side with The Knife, Glass Candy, Trust and Savages, in a timeless Blitz, or on echo beach — far away in time.
