Föllakzoid
Seit zehn Jahren tragen Föllakzoid das Erbe des deutschen Krautrock in die Gegenwart und die ZukunftAbout
Föllakzoid's musical journey is one of sonic exploration and trance-inducing rhythms, with an emphasis on repetition. They've carved a unique niche for themselves in the global music scene, captivating audiences with their immersive soundscapes and evolving musical vision.
Formed in Santiago, Chile on 7/7/07, and now residing in Mexico City, Föllakzoid have undergone various transformations over the years in sound, geographic location and personnel. Throughout their first three releases Föllakzoid (2009), II (2013), and III (2015) the band was revered for their unique blend of psychedelic rock, krautrock, and electronic elements, often filtered through extensive jam sessions and improvisation, that resulted in music with the ability to induce altered states of consciousness.
On the latest album V the project has incorporated more electronic elements and techno influences, expanding their sonic palette while retaining their signature immersive quality. Föllakzoid is now exclusively the project of Domingæ, a musician, artist and director who has been the core member of the project since inception. Domingæ weaves her queer and trans identity into both the sound and the live presentation of the project, an element that Föllakzoid has always been known for. The resulting energy is one that seduces the listener straight to the dance floor.
Throughout their career, Föllakzoid have collaborated with revered musicians the likes of J. Spaceman of Spiritualized and Atom™. They have toured the world extensively and performed at renowned music festivals like Primavera Sound, Levitation, Roadburn, Desert Daze, and Roskilde to name a few.
Programmtext
Föllakzoid ist das Projekt von Domingæ, einer Musikerin, Künstlerin und Regisseurin, die von Anfang an das Kernmitglied des Projekts war. Domingæ verwebt ihre queere und trans Identität sowohl in den Sound als auch in die Live-Präsentation des Projekts, für die das Projekt Föllakzoid schon immer bekannt war. Die daraus resultierende Energie zieht Zuhörende direkt auf die Tanzfläche. Auf den letzten beiden Alben, I und kürzlich V, hat sie elektronische Elemente und Techno-Einflüsse integriert und so die Klangpalette erweitert, während sie die charakteristische immersive Qualität beibehielt.
