Who are Django Django?
I Django Django are formed at London in 2009, bringing together four musicians with Scottish roots. The original line-up consists of Vincent Neff (vocals and guitar), David Maclean (drums and production), Jimmy Dixon (low) and Tommy Grace (synth). Right from the start, the band has made a name for itself with a formula that is hard to replicate: layered vocal harmonies, hypnotic rhythms and a pop sensibility that blends seamlessly with electronic experimentation.
Their debut album, the self-titled Django Django of 2012, was nominated for the prestigious Mercury Prize, the award that recognises the best British album each year, propelling the band far beyond the confines of the underground scene. Since then, the Django Django have become a benchmark for those who love warm, cerebral electronic music that is always designed with the body and dancing in mind.
The sound of Django Django: psych, electro and art-rock
Define the style of the Django Django It’s impossible to pin them down to a single label, and that’s precisely what makes them so great. Their music spans art-rock, neo-psychedelia, electro-rock e indie, blending 1960s surf-rock, krautrock, dance music and dub influences. The result is a kaleidoscope of sound in which reverberating guitars, Beach Boys-style backing vocals and analogue synthesisers interplay over driving grooves.
Performed live, this formula becomes a dance sensation: the Django Django turn the concert into a mesmerising experience, where the energy builds track by track. Tracks such as Default, Waveforms, First Light e Noughts and Crosses have become minor classics of the repertoire, capable of getting whole crowds to sing and dance. It is music that works perfectly in a setting such as that of the Colour Fest, where the avant-garde and party culture go hand in hand.
