Warrego Valles

Slovenia

“Their latest album echoes the current culture and simultaneously evokes nostalgia. It is a raw statement of two passionate artists. A homage to jokes and fun, it represents an ironic confrontation with reality and requires nothing from us – no intellectualism, foreknowledge or introspection. Turbo is a Balkan-influenced mega mix, a Hello Kitty energy drink, Britney Spears merch, a post-ironic political meme account and protest slogan, all at once.”
Ula Kranjc Kušlan, Radio Študent

After deconstruction comes the time for reconstruction. Holding a mirror to the dystopian world, the Slovenian electronic music duo seeks hope through humorous materialism. Distancing themselves from the abstract character of their last album, they juxtapose contemporary techno-pop sounds with activist slogans and ironic cynicism, queering both genres and languages in the process. On their new album TURBO, they present an authentic and highly flammable fusion of pop and proggy sensibilities, ranging from avant-hyperpop with echoes of happy hardcore to trap, electroclash and Balkan turbo folk. This masterfully produced record sits firmly between underground club culture and radio-friendly wake-up calls.
