“We don’t want to copy electronic music but assimilate its contemporary aesthetics – to make an abstraction of programmed music, in real time, performed by two musicians.” - Disco Dicks
We’re a live and recording dou that loves make rumbling and analog tracks for the dance floor

Disco Dicks are the opposite of your lifelong dental insurance. They’re two astronauts in worn-out spacesuits, flying a rocket with dust in the engine and only one gear: full throttle.
These future-retro lovers launch the groove before the horse is even out of the stable.
Their sound kicks you right in the gut – raw guitar riffs, pulsing live drums – digging into the shared DNA of rock’n’roll, dance and disco.
Back to the future, with sweat and glitter.
Too much sparkle? Probably. Too much space pomade? Definitely. But enough raw energy to short-circuit your festival’s power grid.
They’ve got more voltage than a Berlin basement rave, more grit than your neighborhood sex shop, and maybe just as much style as your mom had in the '80s.

Mission
Disco Dicks first emerged in the heat of summer 2017. The duo met long before that – back in 2009 – playing rock music the old-school way. Full bands, full stacks, full volume. Eventually, they stripped it all down: drums, a bent-up electric guitar, one voice.
From there, they dove into the pulse of modern club culture – chasing that sweet spot where machine meets emotion, and groove meets noise.
Disco Dicks are here to bring electronic music back to the stage. To make heads bang in the club, and hips move at the indie show. To let techno lovers fall for live drums, and guitar freaks dance like it’s Berlin at 3 AM. All without losing what made them fall in love with music in the first place
About us
Over the past eight years, Disco Dicks have played more than 150 shows across Europe – from sweaty basement raves to open-air festival stages. Back home in Mannheim, they built their own studio spaceship: the Dutch Datscha.
This is where everything starts – recordings, songwriting, live sessions, weird experiments, and spontaneous streams into the void.
It’s more than a studio. It’s their mothership.
