about
̸BIOGRAPHY
The essence of Dame Area – the project of Barcelona-based duo Silvia Kostance and Viktor L. Crux –
is formidable, volatile, unpredictable.
During the last years Dame Area developed a unique music style recognized as "Tribal Wave":
mixing synth bassline arpeggios and live percussions, noises and congas, industrialism and
tribalism, Italian and Spanish, Dame Area are running across the same path and breathing the same
air of the EBM/Industrial driven Diseño Corbusier or the drum compositions of Roberto De Simone
Across two albums and several EPs for the likes of Mannequin Records, B.F.E Records and their own
cult imprint / DIY organization Màgia Roja (described by The Quietus as “a place unlike any other in
Spain, perhaps any other on earth”), Dame Area have executed an eclectic, discerning form of
contemporary industrial music, deploying compulsive minimal synth and primal polyrhythms, as
well as uniquely reconstrued elements of post-punk & EBM. An artistic identity that embraces
influence yet eschews compromise.
Starting to play live in 2018 they have toured extensively in Europe, sometimes also in a trio format
with Jess Webb from Gnod/Anthroprophh at drums.
