Here comes the german underground pop duo Planetakis...
What happens when you pack The Clash, Kylie, Kraftwerk, Ladytron, Madonna and Daft Punk into the backroom of your favourite Discotheque? You get a perfect soundtrack for intelligent hedonists who need to party without worrying about next days evil hangover.
Planetakis´s euphoric songs range from sugarcandy pop to futuristic electropunk, ironic comments on urban lifestyle written in a mixed english-german language. Their punkadelic-energetic on-stage performance is notorious for giving the audience an uber-adrenalin kick full of positive aggression, rocking the underground electro club next door as well as large crowds. They gave proof by opening for rock acts like Babyshambles, Art Brut and We Are Scientists.
The duo decided to make their anthemic electro pop song "Pogo In The Shoes Of Kylie Minogue" available for free. The track is spreading all over the net with tenth of thousands of downloads and appeared on many DJ playlists from Amsterdam to LA. Their second album "Out Of The Club Into The Night" has been released in august 2007 by Peng Musik/Cargo Records in Germany and in the USA in january 2008.
The people behind Planetakis are already popular from their other bands: Robert Drakogiannakis (voice and guitar) is known as frontman and main songwriter of the successful german alternative band Angelika Express. Jenny Fey (voice and keyboards) is the charismatic singer of the hardcore punk band Inner Conflict. Besides music she is a professional actress as well. They are located in Cologne, a city with a international reputation for Minmal Techno (Kompakt), Krautrock (Can) and its orgiastic carnival. Jenny and Robert also just started a brand new heavy-electro project called MIXROBOTER.
These are still pop tunes, but no one before presented them so straight in your face. 40 minutes of breathlessness, rackety synthesizers, proudly tramping beats, ardent singing. (Piranha Magazine, Germany)
Far better than it has any right to be.

The soundtrack for the 2006 one night stand. And that..s just the beginning.

Planetakis’ glam stomp is bags of glittery fun. (Maps Magazine, UK)
Stunningly bright electropop bound to be filling dance floors with endearingly ugly german sing-alongs and gloriously ebullient choruses. (playlouder.com)
