Digitalism is a German electro duo, founded in 2004 in Hamburg, with songs self-described as simple chapters in a complex novel about social interaction and attraction, with distorted baselines and thumping rhythms comprising the punctuation. True pioneers of the electro-punk and indie dance movemen ts, Digitalism continue to appear at major festivals and clubs worldwide.
Digitalism's debut album, Idealism, was released in May 2007 as 'Digitalism' on Toshiba EMI Records in Japan, and on Kitsun? Music in France. The album includes re-edits of the previously released singles "Jupiter Room", "Zdarlight" as well as their "Digitalism in Cairo" original re-edit of a track by The Cure, and perhaps their most famous track to date “Pogo”.
In June 2011, Digitalism released their second studio album, I love You Dude, on Cooperative Music. The album includes the previously released singles "Blitz" and Stratophere", the hit-single "2 Hearts" and a cooperation with Julian Casablancas (The Strokes). Overall, the sound on the second album became more openminded and further crossed the limits of Electro, Rock and Indie.
Digitalism has remixed tracks for Tom Vek, The Futureheads, Daft Punk, Tiga, Klaxons, White Stripes, Monk, Depeche Mode, Cut Copy and many others. Their tracks and remixes are played by DJs such as Erol Alkan, Soulwax, Boys Noize, and Justice, among others.
