It is what could perhaps best be described as danceable melancholy. Or, as Moritz Graßinger (analogue synths, piano, percussions) and Martin Schneider (drums, e-percussions, video installation) sometimes say with a smile: electronic music for people who otherwise don't listen to electronic music that often. Both somehow hit the mark. And somehow also not, or only insufficiently. Because what the two of them produce as KIDSØ can hardly be squeezed into style pigeonholes or pinned down by euphonious adjectives. It is electronic music at its core, that's for sure. But not the finger-in-the-air-let-us-rub-against-each-other-in-the-Berghain-electronic, but rather what a Jon Hopkins produces when he has eaten the right mushrooms. With the difference that KIDSØ record this sound predominantly analogue and organic. KIDSØ songs also have that special, otherworldly, melancholic vibe that many mixes of the grandiose Late Night Tales series carry, for example, or the electronically embellished pieces of an Ólafur Arnalds. And yet Moritz and Martin can turn their yearning compositions live to thoroughly danceable and euphoric, as if they were written for the blue hour of a club night.
