NNHMN is a Berlin-based dark electronic music duo, creating moody and provocative music infected with rich and electrifying synth lines, throbbing rhythmic grooves, and ghostly seductive vocals. Lee Margot and Michal Laudarg have embarked on a sonic journey onto the thresholds of New Brutalist Theatre and experimental electronic music with a foundation in techno culture.

NNHMN’s intoxicating sound is defined by analogue textures and arpeggiated bass lines, with a sense of sonic exploration that veers from post-punk to haunted synth-wave and dark-disco. Obsessive synth lines, sultry vocal deliveries, and danceable grooves guide the listener through a thrilling multi-dimensional universe with minimal synth qualities and gothic undertones. Techno is also present here, in their special universe.

In December 2019 the duo released the album Shadow in the Dark - six stirring, sensual, deeply emotional, seething dark-wave cuts that hopelessly ignite one’s dark heart and cold body. The vinyl edition of Shadow in the Dark was released in February 2020 by Oraculo Records. A surrealist painting by famous Aleksandra Waliszewska graces the album cover. Vinyl copies of Shadow in the Dark quickly sold out everywhere.

The year 2020 saw NNHMN release two stellar EPs, Deception Island I & II. A fascinating vintage exposure with a true minimalist approach. The typical melodic strings, dry snares and icy sequences are reminiscent of the 80s. Each EP is a solid work of incredible dark electronica teetering between coldwave, post-punk, minimal-synth and other related genres. The nocturnal, synth-driven production is led by Lee’s captivating and compelling vocals, whose seductive and sardonic delivery is inescapably entrancing. Deception Island as a whole taps into a variety of moods and is of course undeniably dance floor friendly. Physically released by Oraculo Records as two separate vinyl EPs, both vinyl editions again quickly sold out.

The mini-album Tomorrow's Heroine, the freshest NNHMN offering released in July 2021, is five songs of desire and sheer electronic magic, crafted to make you forget about reality, and to transport you into the darkness - into a techno-infused, groove-heavy, dark-wave dancing euphoria. The distant yet deeply emotional singing of Lee creates an icy, sensual touch while Michal’s sonic production delivers a unique kind of dark-cellar dance-floor sensation. The vinyl for this album is the first to be released by NNHMN’s very own imprint K-Dreams Records.

NNHMN have built up a fervent and loyal following and have been welcomed and appreciated by numerous alternative festivals.
