The music of Freakin’ Disco is deep, psychedelic, and groovy. The elemental power of their live performances launches the audience to space. The band was formed in 2013 after an exciting jam session performed together at an open air event at Budapest’s Chain Bridge.
They have been selected by HEMI to their mentoring and award program for 2024; by IMPALA (European independent labels’ association) to their ‘100 bands to watch in 2023’ list. In November, Europavox, an organization of music journalist, included them on their ’bands of the month’ list.
TOTEM, the third album of the band, was released in early July, of which the first single, Face Yourself, was produced by multi-Grammy Award winner Steve Dub, producer of The Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy etc. The music video was directed by Karlovy Vary Film Festival Grand Prize winner film director Szabolcs Hajdu, and won the Best Electronic Music Video award at the Europe Music Video Awards. A remix by producer HRTL (CZ) was also released along with the song.
