Very happy to present a next discovery from the country we call home, Switzerland: originally hailing from an indie/folk-pop background, the singer and songwriter Natascha Polké has found her destiny in powerful melodic techno and mixed a sensationally strong Whiskey Sour for us!
Always drawn to dark ambient vibes, Natascha has ultimately found her footing in techno. Marrying the two influences Natascha Polké manages to interweave what might appear like an unusual match into sublime melancholic productions transcending stylistic boundaries. Driving beats and haunting pads are flattered by her intimate vocals, telling stories of blurring lines between reality and illusion, diving deep into unknown corners of the human mind.
After living in London for several years and holding a residency at the Roundhouse (LDN), Natascha Polké now resides in Switzlerand and regularly DJs at Zurich’s Hive, as well as frequently playing events such as Klangheimlich and Motion Beach Festival.
Her first single ‘Siren’ was a collabation with Definition:music and was also the beginning of her merge with his label Defintion:Music. Definition:Music, which has been making waves in the electronic scene since 2011 and launched the career of none other than the Ukrainian electro- duo ARTBAT. Whilst producing all tracks herself she mixed her 2021 EP in a collaboration with no other than Jan Blomqvist’s team in Berlin.
It’s easy to lose yourself in Natascha Polké’s music, get carried away by melancholic waves with an edge of longing, underpinned by pulsing bass lines and beats you can’t help but nod along to.
What a lovely Whiskey Sour, might we please have another round!
Cheers
