Deafkids

Brazilian hypno-punks duo DEAFKIDS (Neurot Recordings) formed by multi-instrumentists Douglas Leal and Marian Sarine brings its unique sound and aesthetics built over a 15-year career on the roads and stages of the world, incorporating elements of electronic and experimental avant-garde music, Dub techniques, noise, psychedelia and the hypnotic polyrrhythms and pulsations of native Brazilian and Latin music to the energetic discharge of punk’s expanding frontiers. With their distinctive ever evolving sound, the band from the industrial city of Volta Redonda in Rio de Janeiro has become one of the most prosperous and innovative acts from the underground scene to leave Brazil for international stages today, having played in 4 continents and gaining recognition from national and international audiences and critics with highlights in important media outlets, playing between venues, festivals, electronic parties and extensive tours throughout Brazil, Europe and North America, including appearances at renowned festivals. Over the years, DEAFKIDS built their own visual aesthetic with Leal’s artwork imprinted on a vast and diverse discography totaling more than 20 releases including LPs, compacts, CDs, cassettes and digital released in Brazil, USA, England, Germany, Portugal, France and Japan, with studio albums, live recordings, compilations and collaborative recordings.
