Die Selektion takes to the stage! Imagine a packed nightclub where sharp beats bounce off the walls and thick fog hangs over the dance floor. Amidst it all, a mournful trumpet cuts through the soundscape, almost like a ghost. That is where Die Selektion’s world begins.
The band blends darkness and hope in their trumpet melodies, with German lyrics that make you think twice about both the past and the future. Their sound follows in the tradition of Depeche Mode, DAF and Nitzer Ebb, but with a unique style where heavy drum machines meet something more delicate and direct. They call it the Prosecco Wave.
After more than a decade together, several albums, singles and tours around the world, Luca Gillian, Hannes Rief, Samuel Savenberg and Max Rieger have made a name for themselves that really stands out. They have a knack for bringing together both goth and techno crowds on the same dance floor, with a style that moves between synthpop and EBM without getting stuck in either.
