For most of its history, dance music has been dedicated to replacing the acoustic with the electronic—but Germany’s Brandt Brauer Frick turn the formula on its head.

This classically trained trio take the rolling grooves of Chicago house and minimal techno and transform them into jazz-influenced synth-and-string rhythmic assaults that hover somewhere between Berlin nightclub, chamber ensemble and the subcutaneous atmospherics of a John Carpenter film.

Expertly programmed, sumptuously arranged and performed with virtuosity, the music of Brandt Brauer Frick stands at a crossroad between genres—a place of sonic perfection.
