While the modern scene is becoming ever so diluted with algorithmically sanitized tracks and DJ-influencers, SAD PROM is taking Techno back to its Detroit roots. Raw, analog machine music to move bodies and awaken minds from their smartphone-induced coma. In November 2024, SAD PROM self-releases 'SP001', making it available on Bandcamp only. A 5-track EP that in the artist’s own words «sounds like your parents’ landline ringing at 3am. Your Tamagotchi crying to be fed, while you’re coming up in the middle of the party.» The debut release immediately draws the attention of the international underground dance scene. The A2 track ‘Slave To The Algorithm’ gets premiered by HÖR Berlin resident DJ The Brvtalist, resulting in a slew of digital downloads.

SAD PROM’s unique brand of machine funk and countercultural aesthetic doesn’t go unnoticed by Dutch producer Drvg Cvltvr, who signs the artist for a release on his label. As a result, in February 2025 a new release emerges on New York Haunted - 'First Design A Kick'. A dystopian, hard hitting 4-track EP, starring an over saturated Roland TR-808. «Pure overdriven hard distorted techno music […] much in the vein of [Ritchie Hawtin’s] Circuit Breaker's Trac-X.»

You won’t find SAD PROM on digital streaming platforms or social media. The algorithm doesn’t know this music exists. The revolution starts here.
