Concert recordings from 2014/15.

Düsseldorf is undoubtedly one of the pioneering projects in the field of EBM design in Poland. The band, founded in 1989 in Katowice by the vocalist Adam Białoń and keyboard player Adam Radecki, was an expression of their fascination with sound experiments in the style of early Kraftwerk, Cabaret Voltaire or Front 242. For them, creating music was only a starting point - then ideas of typically industrial happenings appeared , carried out in industrial facilities, where apart from the voice and the presented manifestos, the music of the machines "played" live and 100% of acoustic origin was to dominate (ie gears, wheels and other sound-producing mechanisms). In addition to the concerts, the group published leaflets, experimented with photography and recorded a lot of studio music, gradually departing from the original assumptions of primitive, spontaneous, industrial rhythm and sound. In 1993, the band's musicians suspended its activities to pursue other projects. However, after a twenty-year hiatus, Düsseldorf was revived.

The labeling of the group to EBM is an oversimplification - in the music of Düsseldorf you can find echoes of the new wave and primitive industrial, complemented by synthpunk rhythms under the sign of Suicide, minimalist and aggressive beats associated with DAF's work, marching and energy reminiscent of Laibach's achievements, noticeable in lyricism in the spirit of Soft Cell, all soaked in a truly punk motive. Düsseldorf is a synthesis and quintessence of what was most interesting in the post-industrial music of the 1980s.
