From the underground to one of the most sought-after live acts in Europe and one of the most innovative new electronic music projects – in just a few years, ÄTNA achieved what many consider impossible in these times. The Dresden duo create anything but norm pop. “Artful stimulation” is probably more to the point. Avant-garde sounding artists with a strong grasp of catchy hooks and driving rhythms, ÄTNA are a powerhouse of creativity and musical innovation. It is logical that boundaries must inevitably be blown up in the process: those of genres, but also gender, role conceptions, stylistic conventions of all kinds and long-established ideas of what music can and should be allowed to do.
