Live Performance by Colder

The Biology program (Radio Maximum) and Club 'B2' present a live performance by Colder. 'A shaping act for the musical policy of the Output label, reviving classic new wave with various intricate ambiguities. A rather tasty music project, easily remixable by Playgroup and Midnight Mike. Best listened to in smoke and dark glasses.' (Timeout Moscow, Filip Mironov). Colder, meaning 'Colder', is exactly how Marc, a French graphic designer and video director, named his project, pinpointing its name exquisitely. Critics instantly fell in love with Colder's cold beauty of minimalist sound and detached vocals, calling it nothing short of 'the dance project of the 21st century'. Minor disco, tranquilizing electro-rock, and stylistically restrained glamorous post-punk – Marc is skilled in stylistic craftsmanship, having successfully established himself in the fashion industry and worked with brands like M6, ARTE, Paris Premiere, Kenzo, Channel 4 UK, and is known as a designer for the fashion house Commes des Garcons.

Colder's first appearance was in 2003: the song 'The Slow Descent' on the compilation attached to the now-closed magazine Jockey Slut. Nearly simultaneously, the debut named 'Again' was released, followed in 2005 on the Output records label by the album 'Heat' - a wonder of sensuality, tinted in the atmospheric minus of post-punk minimalism. Colder presents flavors of its creator, lying somewhere around Joy Division, Morphine, Suicide, DAF, and Vincent Gallo.

Colder’s debut live performance took place at the famous Elysee Montmartre venue in Paris, and shortly afterward Colder performed in front of an audience of over 6,000 people on the Output recordings stage at the main European electronic music festival Sonar in Barcelona. After that, Colder performed at the Transmusicales Festival in Rennes, France, Montreal Electronic Groove (MEG) in Canada, and Electraglyde in Tokyo, as well as with The Rapture on their tour in France and with the New York band Liquid Liquid during their early performances in the UK. All major European publications NME, The Observer, Dazed & Confused, Music Week, Uncut, Muzik Rolling Stone, Les Inrockuptibles, Groove Magazine are clamoring about the 'main indie-electronic phenomenon'. There are many rumors about Marc, that he writes music locked away alone in his Paris bedroom, and he is generally considered to be an introverted character prone to oddities. Each live concert, accompanied by Mark's infernal stage tricks, shapes new puzzles.

On July 6 at 22:00, at B2 Club, Live from Colder
